Shit man. 15 years ago, I worked at Home Depot as a cashier and answered to a Head Cashier who had failed to get into police academy for 5 years running.
When that asshat wasn’t in the store, life was good. We did our job, we found non-confrontational ways to send scammers packing.
When asshat was in store, it was always some big dramatic deal.
The second he got a whiff of someone trying to pass a bad check, or use a credit card balance transfer check like it was a regular check, or do a “but I have store credit!” scam, the only answer was to stall the person until the cops arrived.
2 separate times, this asshat caused a gun to be drawn on me because I was expressly forbidden from letting the person leave, “just stall them!”, while he hid behind a wall on the line with police.
How times have changed.
Sorry OP, sounds like your corporation didn’t like your 20 years of merit raises and just wanted an excuse for you to be gone.
