I worked in a grocery store and I was scheduled to work on my birthday when I had friends coming out so I spoke to my manager in the floral department (where I was working that day) and my store manager to see if I could start a half hour early to be able to meet my friends for dinner and a movie. No big deal to either of them so I started work early. I went on my lunch and 25 minutes in I get a call from the Assistant Manager who accused me of taking a 25 minute coffee break (they are 15 minutes). So she accused me of time theft. In the middle of the lunch room I started yelling that the next time she wanted to accuse me of theft she better have her ducks in a row before speaking to me, that she was right in front of the break schedule that would clearly show I was on lunch that she had now bothered me on which according to our union contract would give me the right to start my break all over again. I told her I would be notifying the union and the store union rep as well since I don’t take kindly to being accused of theft. I went back to work in 5 minutes because I wasn’t restarting my lunch and screwing my floral manager because we had work to do. Went back and told my floral manager who I knew would be pissed off, who then marched over and tore a strip off the Assistant Manager as well for insinuating she didn’t know what was going on in her department. Then for giggles I reported the Assistant Manager to HR. Eventually there were enough staff complaints about her that the next year she went in to work and found she was fired and security escorted her out of the store.
