Wow. I will try to make this short. I worked for Hollywood Video from 2 to 12. I was loyal and saw many customers get screwed out of money. They will say that if it's not in the computer then the video is not there. But I have searched the store and found several "lost" videos and dvd's for guests who were positive they returned them.
THEY WILL charge your debit or credit card on file after 3 months with no warning! I was suspended by my manager when my ex-landlady made a false complaint about me. I fought it and won (I was paid for the week I missed). I was moved from that store location and forced to drive an hour to work, new, unflexable schedule that forced me to get a babysitter, and was not given a raise to compensate.
When I took work release to have surgery (major surgery), I was told to check in from time to time. Well I certainly did, because I never received my last check (October 6) and still have not. I called the employee hotline and was never called back. When I filed unemployment, finally, in January I was told that I was fired on Christmas Eve for failing to return to work. I was not off doctor's care at that time.
I am 30 and witnesses several cases of sexual harassment, agism and racism against guests and also prospective employees. Donna Jones, in Rosenberg Texas was the manager who suspended me and ended up making me lose my job. She came to work with no bra and short shorts several times. Before she somehow got the manager job, she was a carnival worker. She brought many of the same tricks with her, believe me... I feel sorry for the customers. The kids behind the counter have your social security number, credit card numbers, id's... And all the power in the world, in their minds.
