Oh no, I wasn't "fired" from my job

[Shyguy Grey]

I was terminated, which I have to admit, sounds a lot cooler.

See, our stores policy is that for each customer, you need to have a certain sales amount per person, usually between $10-$15, and keep in mind I work at a Dollar General where everything is pretty low (I've seen full baskets just barely hit $7).

Anyways, they only schedule me for weekends, which is bad since banks are closed, so that means that I have people coming in to break a 20, 50, or 100 (from the ATM) all day on something like that on gum or soda, soooooo... I was "terminated".

I'd like to add that everyone at work, including my managers, and coworkers were against it and the policy. They didn't want me to go, but what the district manager's word is law.

Fun times.

Welp, so much for getting another job.

[Razz]

Ouch man.

That's a really ****ty system :/


Oh well, hopefully you will find another job.

[Chippermonkey]

You have to sell that much per person at a DOLLAR GENERAL?

That's seriously the most retarded thing I've heard.

[Shyguy Grey]

It was funny though. My boss was like "you might want to pull up a chair and sit down", he then tells me everything, and I sat there acting like I was in deep thought, ask for my check and go on my way.



I'm not one to let things bug me.

[RetroXYZ]

That's a stupid policy. Sorry to hear about that, though.

[Clutch]

Wow, that's a terrible policy, especially since it seems so easy to get "terminated" through no fault of your own.

Good luck finding a better opportunity man.

[Tri]

****, that's lame SGG. I hope you find a better job soon ;(

[Dark Yoshi]

yeah i fear ****ty policies at work too.

like getting busted for smoking pot outside of work. i'm not sure if my store has it, but i know places do and it's retarded.

**** sucks, sgg. hope you get an income back soon.

[Yoshi340]

So wait, it's your responsibility for what the customer buys? Man, that's seriously retarded, especially when it's a store that tries to emphasize convenient and low prices. It's like that one episode of Spongebob where Mr. Krabs charges them for giving change to people.

[Guinea]

Lame.
If a job has such stupid conditions, you're probably better off getting a new one anyway on the long run :/

Good luck.
