I am heading to my doctor's office in a couple of minutes. I am hoping he can do something for the pain in my legs. I was up most of the night in pain, and when I was sleeping I was crying in my sleep, according to Dave.

I also called out sick to work today, because the thought of standing at the cash register is too much to even think about. This apparently makes me unrehireable. Like I would ever go back.

I hope the doctors have answers for vw and sj.

What a shame that you don't have the opportunity to become unrehireable by supergluing the dressing rooms shut or adding manical laughter to the headset system.

In a whole illegal way, sure. Jackholes.

{{{vw}}} I'm so sorry. I was being all selfish and skipping. I hope the doctor's have so solution for you today. Take care.

Thanks, Beverly. I am seriously considering calling the HR department to complain about my manager. She consistently told me I carried too much stuff in my purse, despite the fact that I repeatedly explained to her how many medical supplies I require to get me through the day.

Breathing ~ma for vw. Poor thing. {{{vw}}}

First, I hope the doctor has something for you, for the pain. Being up all night is awful.

But also? WTF?! What does she care how much stuff you have in your purse? I would seriously call HR and let them know how this place treated you.

Because she has to methodically go through everyone's purse when we leave to make sure that we aren't stealing.

Yeah, that's standard for retail, but the places I've worked, it's more like, open your bag, quick look, OK, then, you're off. And some of us had some big ass bags. Also, at Christmas, some of us had big old shopping bags. Really, though, the assumption was that we WEREN'T stealing, and the place you were at, it sounds like that's not the case.

I also strongly urge you to let HR what a travesty of a manager is there at that store. What do you have to lose?

~ma to vw.

I hate that about retail. We had to have clear purses at the consignment store. I guess I understand, but it really hurts morale, for me anyway.

Also, your manager sucks like unto a black hole.

It is standard practice which I have dealt with before, but you're right it is usually a quick look through unless they suspect you of something. I am really only worried about getting a bad reference from this place if I apply for another job.

It does, and despite the fact that I never have and never would steal from an employer, it makes me think thoughts like, if I were to steal from you do you think I would be stupid enough to put money and/or merchandise in my purse?
