I agree with hollowman, this was just a pointless rambling on about….? Who knows. You lost your job, move on.

I had a great deal of difficulty reading your rant due to its lack of focus, background, and truly incoherent rambling. This was compounded by your spelling and grammar errors, and the fact you decided that paragraphs aren’t required.

Perhaps, it is your inability to communicate that resulted in your termination, and not just that your manager thought your were a threat?

“Police are investigating the death of a 17-year-old employee at a Wal-Mart store in the northwestern New Brunswick community of Grand Falls on Wednesday night.

The teenager was cleaning the floor in the garage when it appears there was an electrical defect in the cord to the buffing machine he was using, according to police.

He was rushed to Grand Falls General Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.”

There are some employers that treat their staff in such a way, that when you shop there, you better have done your homework. That’s the same for retailer that employing new workers. If you want to know if its a good place to work, walk around and check out the workers and ask someone or a few there a few simple questions. “Say, you must really enjoy working here with all the knowledge you are obtaining.” Listen to what they are saying and judge by that. Just because one store is bad, we can’t paint all with the same brush.
Recently I had trouble exchanging an item as it was defective. The young lady was just going to refund my credit card but her register froze and was not able to help me. The manager of that dept. was requested. i met him halfway to the service desk and discussed the return with him. He really looked fearful for his job so there was no way he was going to help me or could. When I looked up at the older lady smirking at the service desk as i made my way back there,I was insulted and never will i set foot in that store again. That store is usually quiet anyways. If they got rid of it, that mall might revitalize itself.
I know from many years of working in retail myself, that if the employer treats you with respect from all levels of management, that it will trickle down to the the customers. Everyone wins in this situation.
What I see often happening, is a group of workers will usually be doing the gabbing like it’s one big social event whist a few other employees are working their buns off. Not only does this drag the good employees(the worker)down, but it creates a condition called poor customer service. If you don’t think customers don’t see it, think again.
I know someone who would love to work where everyone is treated fairly. Often times customers will apologize for adding to her line up. That is sad and sadder still is management allows this to happen even though customers have yelled and complained. If employers wake up and check out who’s watching the watchers, we will all be better off and customer service will become just that, not just words. I might be more inclined to shop more also.

It’s really unfortunate that you were let go, but as a manager for a large company there are often reasons why people are let go and in the heat of the moment it’s difficult to explain to the person. People don’t often want to own up to the reasons or the issues at hand.

For example people in my company were let go for not performing well at their job because they were always chatting with other employees and not doing their job 100%.

It’s great that you were already offered another job, so try to focus on the positive and don’t let it get you down. Focusing on the situation isn’t going to change it so don’t let it stress you out.

I thought this section was “Reviews”, not rantings of lunatics.

That’s why only the scum of the Earth works and shops at Walmart!

Okay, first of all, this is not appropriate. Second of all, I have never read so many run on sentences with no punctuation in my life. Hope things work out better for you at your next job, but this doesn’t really qualify as a review in my book.
