I worked at Home Depot clear on the other side of town and was required to attend meetings when we were told to. That meant if I had to be at work at 11:00, I had 4 hours to kill before I had to be at work, as the meetings were at 6:00 AM.
This made it really hard to get anything done, and if I did not want to just goof off, I would have to drive all the way back home, which was 12 miles, and then turn right around and drive the 12 miles back to work. I had asked for a transfer but was told I had to be in that store for a year before I could be transferred, if they had an opening.
Then on May 7th I was working at the register in the tool corral, since my job title was Cashier, and an employee (male) approached me and asked me out in front of customers. When I told him I was married and would not go out with him, he started making rude comments to me in front of the customers. There were about 5 in my line. One of the customers said he would say something to the head cashier since he knew them real well, so I left it alone for the time.
Then one of the head cashiers approached me and asked me about what happened, so I told her, and she in turn told everyone else. From that point they all started making snide comments.
But the BIG shocker was still to come. The (I think he was assistant manager) Joe Martini came to me and was talking to me about what had happened, and I told him. As he walked away, his comment was, "If it was me or Stacy (the manager) that would have made those comments, you wouldn't have said or thought anything about it."
Then he made comments that he had paid for his wife's cosmetic surgery. Who cares, but isn't that something you keep to yourself? Those comments that the guy made to me were wrong, and for the assistant manager to tell me what he did just showed me what kind of people I was working for.
I did like working there, but a family emergency in LA forced me to quit, and now I do not know if I could ever go back.
