I QUIT MY JOB...PLEASE READ.

So for those that have been following my stories talking about my crappy job...well I QUIT. I am not going back anymore because i can't take the daily verbally abuse from the owner of the store. I work as a cashier and i also have to go around asking people if they need help. The store is a yankee store(they sell clothing and other materials of the YANKEE, baseball team). I would be taking care of a customer and he would come and interupt and start talking bad to me in front of people. I am a dark skin latina or a black latina or whatever you want to call it, and a black customer went into the store right. I took care of the customer, he bought some key chains so then i thought the customer would leave right but he went to some other section of the store. The owner was around him and he was like what i told you? i am like wtf you are talking about, he is like go help your friend. SO i go and the guy ask me to see something and the price and then after the guy leaves....THE OWNER said something that shocked me, he started saying that oh because the guy is black...he was trying to say that i didn't check if the guy would steal something because he was BLACK and since i am dark skin...like wtffffffffffffffffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVeryday, i know i am doing a good job and he would start talking about how i need to talk to customers i am like but i do, i ask them if they need help and if they say not yet then i go to the next customer and plus ppl get irritated if u keep on asking them a million times...god!!!!!!SO I FUCK.ING QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FEEL SO FREE, I WOULD GO TO WORK PARANOID AND ANXIOUS!!. If i do such a bad job like he complains then why the fuc.k did i get a TIP once..no one gets a tip for being a cashier and for helping people. GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FREEDOM!!

I forgot to add that i made a mistake...i was going to charge someone 45.00 dollars and instead i put .45..meaning 45 cents. I told the customer and i forgot to tell him to sign the little paper when someone pays with a credit card. Then i charged him the 45 dollars, and he SIGNED THAT PAPER. I threw the one that said .45 cents out and what was that for... the owner started talking shi.t after i said i was sorry, there was a lot of ppl in the store...so i thought that when i pressed clear that the thing was going to clear out.

I'm glad you freed yourself from that hell. No one deserves to suffer like that. I only hope you can find a better job.

I can definitely believe the owner could be a jerk, but the racism part sounds a bit far-fetched...

no offense, but in life you need to listen to your superiors. If they point out an area that you do not excel in, you should try to improve on it. If you blame others, you won't get very far in life.

Yes, that wouldn't be fun to have the owner talk down to you in front of people, as I have had this happened many times to me. Hopefully you have made sure you have a new job lined up before you quit this job. If you have not done so, it will be much more difficult to obtain new employment, since quitting your job because you hated it doesn't really look good on a resume.

pfft, don't worry about it, you'll be fine. you worked at a store for like a week or whatever. most likely the next place you work will be for another store. they aren't going to care if you have a job still, it's not that serious. you'll do just fine. you should try serving tables. high anxiety (obviously) but you will make much more money than in a store.

It was only a week? then it's not so bad. I'm not trying to be mean, I just want to offer some constructive criticism based on my experiences. I often found that I blamed others for my shortcummings when I was younger. Just keep trying, and never give up. That's my advice.

Well I think before I wrote that you should try to stay. But only you know whats best for you. Im glad you are feeling better. And that boss of yours sounds really horrible. He's a dick face. Ecspecially the comment about asking that black guy for help or whatever it was.

But ya, GOOD FOR YOU!!! Hope you find a better job with a nice boss next time
:D

Im so sorry to hear about your bad experience! Please dont let it get to you. Bosses are dicks. They always have been dicks, and they always will be dicks. That's why they're the boss. They will never run out of critisisms, and it's not because YOU suck at your job, but because it's all just part of theirs. Everytime your boss says something to you, ANYTHING other than, "You're fired" should be taken as, "hey. good job." Sometimes you get a nice boss, but thats not the norm. Trust me, I've had a lot of shitty jobs. You should try and get on at a gas station or the like, then your boss is hardley ever there, and you only have one or two coworkers, if any. Works for me.

Next job you get, DO NOT put this place on your application. Working somewhere for a week before quiting doesn't look good, even if it wasnt your fault. Also, your old boss will probably give you a bad reference. (It's not being dishonest, it's workplace politics!)

Go get 'em.

I didn't work for a week...i worked for like a month. I started in March. I am not blaming him, the truth is that he is an asshole. There is also another manager who doesn't treat me like that and i am not going to work to have someone talk to me about some racial bullshyt. All the money in the world is not going to make me have someone verbally abuse me and make my anxiety level go up enough to make me want to literally kill him. I used to go to work paranoid and my mind is already fuc.ked up.

You did the right thing!

And don't list that job on your next application! Nobody cares if you haven't worked in 3 months... List only jobs that will give you good references :) I have been a manager of stores ( a nice manager) - I hired poeple based on how they dressed and how they acted. Smile, make eye contact and dress nice even when you are just dropping by stores to fill out an application. Type out all your info on the computer and print it out, bring it with you and refer to it when you fill out the app. so you don't have to try and remember the addres or managers name of a job from 2 years ago. Also, call back and ask to speak to manager 2 days later...they appreciate your "go get'em ' attitude.
You were absolutley right to quit and that shows you are proud of yourself!
