Not all of them, mind you, just a few select stores. I found out which ones that company owns, and refuse to go there.

One of the local TV stations here has a "trouble shooters" division that investigates miscarriages of justice, bad school policy, etc. It makes me boiling mad that they did this to her. She was working in a low-paying job anyway, so her situation wasn't the best in the first place. Now it's darn near perilous! I just pray that God has a better job or more financial aid money in mind for her to keep her and her daughter on their feet!Jenn-Jenn, the Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850119465505660438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23166489.post-1156874578293265782006-08-29T13:02:00.000-05:002006-08-29T13:02:00.000-05:00I wanted to clarify--what I'm doubting is the forc...I wanted to clarify--what I'm doubting is the forced payment of funds that are not proven to be missing. I think Texas is an at-will state and she can be fired for any reason, but I don't think they can force her to pay funds that are not missing without proof that she took those unmissing funds.<BR/><BR/>THAT's the reason I think the cop is off-duty, and THAT's the reason she should go to the media. Not many people will want to shop at a store that treats their employees in such a manner.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573195570934029465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23166489.post-1156873983892916152006-08-29T12:53:00.000-05:002006-08-29T12:53:00.000-05:00She should most definitely have legal recourse.

I worked retail for some...crappy people who did...crappy things, and this takes the cake!<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing the police officer was not there in official capacity, but was a rent-a-cop, or an off-duty friend in uniform. No way is that legal. NO WAY! Not only should R- file a grievance with the Labor board, she should contact the local TV stations with her story, her Congresspeople (who would love to have such a story during this election year to show their compassionately conservative natures) and an attorney who's willing to take a cut of the big-ass settlement she'll win.<BR/><BR/>And, no, I'm not exaggerating. Maybe I'll have time to poke around, but what happened at the store seems like a snow job and cruel threats, and NOT anything with any kind of criminal standing. They're trying to pull one over on her and covers their own butts from a discrimination charge from her termination.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573195570934029465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23166489.post-1156866545013533722006-08-29T10:49:00.000-05:002006-08-29T10:49:00.000-05:00What a bunch of - oh, I'll keep it clean, but inse...What a bunch of - oh, I'll keep it clean, but insert about three severe expletives in a row, and you'll know exactly what I mean. I hate the way people like your friend are treated, especially in this country. People should know better than to abuse their power and treat their workers poorly. That's why I'm a union gal. Anyway, I really hope things work out for your friend. Tell her to stick it to the Man and not to give up.
