I worked for Elena and Linens 4 You in September. During that time, I was faced with seriously angry customers. I did my absolute best to be nice to every single one of them. I was called every name in the book, I was yelled at, anything an angry customer can do over the phone or in email you name it I dealt with it.
It's extremely difficult to give a customer a solid answer when you yourself have none to give them. I was told several different things about why refunds weren't being processed or orders weren't being processed.
Elena would say she was applying for loan after loan. I'd get phone calls from banks who would tell ME that she was approved for these loans. We're talking tens of thousands of dollars at a time here. She would tell me these loans were to pay me and the other four employees working for her at the time as well as process refunds that badly needed to go out to upset, merchandise-less customers. Nothing ever happened.
In the roughly three weeks I worked for Elena, I managed to rack up roughly $700 in wages that she swore she would pay to me via PayPal. I had given her all of my info including a copy of my driver's license and social security card and my physical address so that she could send me a check if she couldn't figure out PayPal.
I finally had to stop working for her and I'm glad I stopped when I did. I have emailed her several times to find out why I have not been paid yet and have not received an answer let alone a simple response. I am thoroughly convinced I will never get paid and I can be added to the list of angry victims of Linens 4 You.
I am now also concerned that my identity is in jeopardy.
