I worked for Cool Cuts 4 Kids in thornton, colorado from may to january. I decided to take on this job with the knowledge that some other co-workers of mine were already there. Dealing with screaming kids all day who kick at you and spit on you while their parents just giggle and tell the kid "oh stop doing that honey" in a nicey nice voice... I should've known what the hell I was getting myself into from the first day I walked to the door you could hear the screaming from 15 yards away!!! My hearing is now not what it used to be as I am only 28, but I have a hard time now because I was forced to cut hair on little brats that screamed in my ear. But nooo that wasn't the only joy to my job!!! I was told by the then manager AND the GM that all of my clients that followed me from my former job were allowed to have a $3 off coupon every single time they came in. I was told about 4 months later that I shouldn't have been giving out the $3 discount to my clients by the same GM Billie. Okay so I stopped but a coworker of mine Eliza was still giving out that same discount to her clients. What the f*?!?! No biggie my clients paid full price I took the high road. Then in early january my client Mike came in and got a haircut from me and he paid, he then realized he didn't have cash to tip me and gave me a check for $10 the manager that was visiting asked me about it and I told her what happened... She then decided to tell the GM that he didn't pay and gave me the check that I pocketed. I was confronted on it and was suspended for 3 days... I told them what happened but no. Billie didn't want to hear it. She took the word of a manager over someone she had known for 5 years. I called on the last day of my suspension to find out when I worked next only to be told that I was terminated for stealing! Plus! My coworkers Jessica and Eliza who used to be good friends refused to back me up on this matter... Funny thing was. I found out that Jessica and Eliza really WERE stealing from the company and got fired as well. I caution anyone who wants to work at cool cuts 4 kids to rethink it!!! Dealing with children for the crapass benefits and $10.50 an hour wage sure as hell isn't worth it to me. I now work in a great salon and I still cut kids' hair, but most are well mannered and I have the right to refuse them if they start being brats. And I make way more than $10.50!!!
