[So you know]
I’ve told dribs and drabs of this story-my first job out of high school.I was hired at a record store chain-and I’ll say the name-Wherehouse-because they have been out of buisness for a long time and imma very unlikely to get sued(very unlikely that someone from there would find this so I don’t give a fuck and even if they did I am not using their real names.Fucking come at me, bros.)
I was the last one hired and the first one fired(and I’ll get to that in a minute).
It was a shit job-arranging videos in the video store section.It was boring work.Occasionally I would get roped into working into the main part of the store but it was always so dead in there that there wasn’t much to do. Also I would check out videos for customers.That was easy enough to do.
Did I mention I was not very well liked. The second in command was a kiss ass to our boss who was a bitch(and I have worked with a LOT of bitchy people, not all of them female...)I did my best but it wasn’t good enough.There was also a person I was at high school with..he worked there too and when we were at school he took a LOT of pleasure in torturing me.He was one of those douchebags who think that they are god’s gift.
Another couple of things making me unpopular? The fact that I preferred to shop at other record stores in the area(because honestly?The discount that we got was not that great so yeah..of course imma gonna go elsewhere.)
Finally, I liked foreign movies. Kiss up: “I don’t bother with them(foreign movies)..I don’t like reading the subtitles”. Well,OK then.
Then there was the robbery.A bunch of money got stolen out of the office and our boss called us in for a meeting-at 10:30 at night. We got reamed out by the boss and none of us was safe, that much was made clear to us.
Not long after that,I quit.What happened was that I came into work and the bitchy boss wanted to talk to me. I didn’t want to talk to her.She said that (IIRC) she wanted to talk to me about my goofing off and not doing my work.I could tell that this was something that the kiss ass had told her, multiple times.She was looking for an excuse to fire me, and between that and me being the(only) suspect in the robbery, well there you go) WTF would I get out of robbing a record store?
Here’s a story that underlines how crap it was:Someone actually *walked out of the store with a Nintendo system*(this shows you how long ago this was..Nintendo systems were not cheap.Not condoning going to a store and shoplifting but that takes a serious set of balls.)
Our boss was not in the store at the time and when they realised this they were like “Shit. Bitchy Boss is gonna be PISSED.” And she was.But there wasn’t a lot that *didn’t* piss her off
