I was fired from Toys R Us 2 weeks before this last Christmas over some petty stuff. They were basically letting a lot of people go on things that happened way in the past that was not a big deal. I am a junior in college and have been working there since my freshman year of college. Part of me was relieved to be fired, I work at pacsun also, so balancing two jobs and 15 hours with school was pretty difficult. But they would try to come to me with the same crap about school such as expecting me to get to work by 3 when i get out of class at 2:50, skip class because they were shorthanded, do morning stocking from 5-10 am when I have an 8am class. I'm not going to sacrifice my learning and advancement to get a few more measly hours of pay.

cuz most kids on the outside looking in just see a discount on J's before they drop and working w/your friends...once you start you see all the BS that comes w/it...
as much fun as it was working with friends retail sucks and i'm a people person...managers are worse than customers...
this is how most people feel till they been there a few months...
like everyone is saying...stay in school...its worth it to be a little broke now then be a retail manager for the rest of your life...

Then he brought up how I lift weights and go to the gym, so my stamina should be at peak level. I refused to do it, my hours shrank, and I resigned.
But retail in general sucks. It's legal slavery The customers I can stomach with no issue.
my dude
it is what it is though. i remember when i got suspended indefenitly over some b.s which was pretty much your fired but were suspending you til you get your final check i felt real down.
once them funemployment checks started coming in though and i started traveling the country, and catching up on school i realized it was the best thing to ever happen to me.
i live in cali, but ive been living it up and partying in new york while my pops fills out my unemployment forms for me.
retail can drink my sperm with a straw for all i care.

Working at FL was my DREAM back in highschool
I just laugh at those days thinking about it now. I've never set foot in one for a long time.

I work for CVS and while its not as bad, I feel you on the expected to do everything with nothing thing. I had a really cool manager for the first 4 years but he got replaced with a corporate **** sucker after he had knee surgery.
Corporate stans.

I had a pretty bad experience with footlocker too. I worked for footaction before the buyout. When the buyout was complete they did alot of manager shifting in my district. We got this young 24-25 yr. old dude as our manager. He was cool at first but we all were feeling the stress of footlocker's "work everybody like slaves on as little hrs. as possible and threaten termination if the hrs. budget is exceeded, but then have surprise visits from the DM who will also threaten termination if tings are not done" philosophy.
This guy asked me if I wanted to be an A.M. I noticed he was only keeping 1 a.m. when we were allowed two and it was hard on them, so I told im if he hired another one I was down. I also discussed my school schedule with him and told him that hiring the additional a.m. would allow it to work. We always had two until he came anyway. He agreed but never followed through. He started smashin the mgr. from champs and during finals I told him "I have a test thursday morning, do tou think I can work the morning shift on Wednesday, so I can study wed. night and come in after my final.?" he agreed. Then he calls back at like 8:30 and was like " You have to work tomorrow night, I;m helping champs clean up their stockroom.". I was like man that's messed up. You sellin me out behind some P. Thats foul blah blah. He gets mad and we are are oficially not getting along.
Fast foward- This should probably be in the most grimiest things thread- we find out the V.P. is visiting our store and our stockroom is a wreck. Literally boxes of stuff that never even hit the floor. Winter wear and it summer already. Bam this guy backs his truck up to the back of the store and takes two truck loads of boxes home. We straighten out the stock room and the vp does his visit ant thats it. Mgr never returns the stuff, I see his brother coming up to the store wearing hats and random nike shirts that are new and I know are coming from the boxes he took home. I really don't care. I get sick one day and come to work anyway (respiratory infection), I tell him I cant finish and I'm leaving to go to the DR. He tells me I'm fired for job abandonment if I leave. I leave anyway call my D.M. and tell explain the situation and tell him I have a DR. note and he lets me come bact to work. Mgr. starts trying to make me quit by assigning grunt tasks, writing me up, scheduling me bad hrs. After the second write up (for the back of my shirt being untucked) I realized he is fixin to win at this game he is playing and I am gonna be jobless. I cll the loss prevention line and tell them about the boxes. Investigation ensues. He is fired. I get transferred to another location that only does like $9-1200 daily and is too far for me to drive. I quit. I hate them. Still will buy shoes sometimes though.
Sorry if that was long.
