This whole situation has been a lot to deal with. So - for the rest of my shift, (I work in food and beverage/market) I’m on register which, for the most part, isn’t that big of a deal as it breaks my shift down a bit. Two guests come to my lane and put their items on the conveyer belt (it was tons and tons of makeup. Supposedly gift sets for bridesmaids 🤷🏻♀️) and I start taking care of them. As I make sure each item is scanned, I can’t help but notice the order is getting really expensive. The total was over 2,000 dollars expensive. But I digress. The guest hands me cash and, in my head, I’m thinking, “Okay she’ll be paying the rest on a card then”. I was mistaken af. They were, little by little, handing me 500 dollars in 50s which was also shocking af, but I pushed that aside. I was, however, starting to get understandably uncomfortable at the amount and decided to break apart the amount by entering 500 dollars to help calm down the discomfort. Now - here’s where I was to call a TL for help because (as the HR ETL and closing expert TL told me), I needed help with it. Here’s the thing: I don’t remember ever being told that prior. But, back to the story, I’m being handed all the money in chunks and then the guest takes the money I’m working on getting counted and organized in my head and proceeds to count it in front of me. I’m guessing fuckery happened in that moment idk.
Two days later, I’m called into the office by the HR ETL to be told I was shortchanged which was understandably shocking. After being asked to retell my story, my mind racing as I started crying, I get told of the two things that could happen: final warning or coaching. I later go back to work and was a wreck. I wanted to go home and hide, but I didn’t. I later had to go help on register and was skittish af. The front end TL brought up the situation and I immediately responded, “wow they’re telling everyone, aren’t they” because little did I know, I didn’t know leaders knew. I wound staying home the next day because I just didn’t want to deal with it.
I came in the next day and met with the HR ETL to be told a final warning had been decided. Thankfully it ends next year in April. The whole thing has made me update my resume and start slowly looking for a new job. The lack of communication has been outstanding.
I’m writing this in case anyone knows what’ll constitute my getting terminated? I was told performance issues and attendance, but does that mean if I mess up with like an OPU, I’ll be okay?
