Suspension for wondering about own race?
Well, as common, security tags are inside CD jewel cases so you can not take them out of the store without purchasing them, right? Well, have you ever noticed about Latin CDs? They never have them... except for big shots, i.e. Marc Antony, Jennifer Lopez, etc.
So this customer came up to my line wanting to purchase a CD, and I was wondering, sadly not to myself, how come Latin CDs never have these security tags?
My aunt and my cousins-by-blood (4 of them) all tend to take things from stores, as they tend to live their lives that way. They are all Hispanic. So I am 50%, but I'm also Caucasian. The customer? Black. Somehow, the management and the customer thought I was making a racial comment towards Black people, and not towards my own race.
I usually put myself down a lot, talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly about me, myself, and I. That includes race.
The Asset Protection Manager is black, my ex- and current front end Assistant Managers both have Black boyfriends, and all were offended, therefore wanted to terminate me. I never had the chance to explain about what happened. I never EVER made a reference to a Black person what-so-ever. They let me go as a suspension, and I can not come back until AP, Assistant, and Store managers, and the customer all get together to deal with my fate towards the company. I'll get a call from them if I am allowed to come back, but I'll be on D-Day.
It doesn't matter. I wanted Electronics, but I get a Pharmacy position whenever everyone is out to lunch, or whenever someone from over there is on vacation and they need someone, yet Sarah (fadeaway100301) can be trained for a register. When "all register trained associates go up to the front"... I'm there at front end still? But yet, you don't want me 2 departments away from her? You gotta be out of your friggin' mind, right?
