As a surprise to many of the stores customers, I was an african american male employed at this store. And ofcourse they were rightly surprised. I should have never been hired, because I endured discriminatory labor harrasament, language and slander, from the stores manager and assistant management. The female store manager had very innappropriate verbal fits of rage towards me in front of customers- (marry)as well as continuous threats of writing me up for problems i had while training and learning my job.

The female assistant manager (Monikay) had the same innapropriate fits of verbal anger, and was more sincerely verbal about it. when i called to give reasons for quitting and apologize for resigning, Monikay stated that "she did'nt care, and theycould find 3 or 4 more, just like me any day. I guess that apology was not accepted.

The former female assistant manager, (Shannon), atleast when i was employed, appeared very emotionally unstable for a manger, by stating on regular basis to me how much she hated her job, and the store manager Mary.She miscounted my assigned cash drawer on regular basis while training me. Yet I was threatened to be written up for the short miscounted drawer (twice).

Shanon was my shift manager and in reference to her emotional instability, one day, while seeming even more emotional Shanon bought a pregnancy test from the store and told me that she was going into the employee restroom to see if she was pregnant. I was torn between if it was more than I wanted to know or needed to know about her private affairs while working.

Shanon payed more attention to her boy friend while working (than training me). Her boyfriend, who was not an employee but always present in the store, standing near the register area, would be present in the store just standing there sometimes her whole shift, made it quite uncomfortable for me while they "smooched" the whole shift.

My lack of sincerity for Shanons social life and pregnancy situation, I guess prompted her to, for what ever relevance, slander unjust rumors about my character to some of the stores regular customers making it quite uncomfortable for me to stand and serve them at the register, or even work and be a thorned presence in the store. Therefore I did quit and appease them all, without pressing any discrimination charges, that probably would'nt hold up anyway.

In conclusion, most of the customers were correct in being surprised to see me working with these individuals, and wondering how could I be getting along with them. I was'nt, but i kept a good attitude during my service to customers. And, In this case, Yes, "the customers are always right". Ask them for the proof.
