Re: Retail rant thread for those working in retail!
I used to work in retail. And I used to do what I could to help customers and other employees.
Unfortunately it was a losing battle.
I received an award from a customer; as I was handed it, I was reprimanded for my actions that got me the award. Sure, I can understand that, but the thing that boggles my mind was that I was simply following store policies.
I was reprimanded for following store policies. Actually, that wasn't the first or last time. Pretty much anything managers had a problem with revolved around me following store policy. Including safety policies and events where if I hadn't acted, there would have been some serious injuries or a whole lot of property damage.
Eventually after a year I got sick of it and quit. Screw Wal-Mart.
