I worked in the “best price” store at the address Moscow Ave., Novoyasenevsky 1b, building 4, store number 750, for only 10 days, and I suffered a lot. I am an honest girl, from a very good and decent family. It all started with the fact that I The phone was constantly lying next to the cash register, but no one saw it, and I didn’t use it, it was lying there because my mother was sick, God forbid... because of this, we had our first conflict with the manager. More precisely, her bar was torn off. And she shouted in her own language, since I, a Russian, did not understand anything. A little later, I had a slight plus at the cash register, for which the manager ordered me to write an explanatory note, to which I sat down at the table and began to carry out the order, at that time a scandal began between her and the administrator, they screamed, fought, the work computer flew, the admin crashed. mouse, honestly I was very scared. I worked in fixed price stores for many years and this is my first time. Then, on December 1, 2018, a delivery of 8 pallets of products arrived; I, a cashier, a girl doing an internship, and a mobile loader were forced to manually lift this product from the first to the second floor, since the freight elevator was not working. Everything would be fine, the three of us brought it all in, the administrator showed up as if he was working, but when I went into the manager’s office, he was lying on chairs, the manager was looking at the cameras, the minor daughter was sitting at the cash register, this is the height of disrespect for us. Next, on December 2, 2018, I came to work exactly at 9:00, as usual, there were no higher-ups yet, the store opened at half past 10. We had a conflict with the manager because there was a queue of more than 4 people, honestly I don’t look at what the queue is , and I don’t take it into account, knowing that I can serve clients within 5 minutes. Then they counted me very often, at the cash register there is always plus 10.20 rubles, since these kopecks are inconvenient to work with, and people are like that and leave a ruble, two, five at the cash register, saying they don’t need change. Although the manager said not to put this little thing away, but to put it in the cash register, and then the day before she told me to put it away so that it would not be visible. Good That’s what I did, since I put a lot of people in the pocket of my work jacket. Then I was accused of theft, at the checkout the man tried 4 cans of energy drink, its cost was 25 rubles per can. As a result, the final amount is 100 rubles. The administrator comes up and starts emptying his pockets and there is small change, he starts shouting that it’s a thief and they took me to the manager’s office, they say there is a video that proves that I’m stealing, they showed it to me, supposedly I broke through not 4 cans but 2. And the cost of the energy drink is not 25 rubles, but 50 rubles . In general, I appropriated 100 rubles for myself. The store administrator reached into his jeans pockets and pulled out 250 rubles of my last personal money, and took it for himself. And they forced me to write an explanatory note, to which I refused, packed my things and left. I ask you to take action against the administrator and manager of the store. Don't leave it like this... I'm not the only one....
