15. The Spoiled Store Manager
“First job when i was 15 for a discount clothing brand store. Head manager was the aunt of our store manager who was 19. Our store manager did nothing most of the time and used to chat to her boyfriend and friends loudly on the store phone…much to the annoyance of everybody.
One night its come closing, we are grabbing our coats and getting ready to leave after a really busy day and the store manager storms in, telling us how shes lowered the shutters and wont let us leave untill we have helped her finish the one job she had all day to do cos her aunt is doing a “surprise” inspection in the morning. […] She turns spiteful, threatening to delay our pays, dock our wages etc etc. For one woman it was the last straw (she had a kid to pick up from a club) so she waited till she left us alone to work, walked up to the shutters and pulled them up manually by hand. […] We left her a note saying ‘Good luck explaining to your aunt why four people just quit.’” – Reddit user Cactusface987
We really want to know what the aunt’s reaction was when she came into the store and there was absolutely no other employee, except for her niece!
