Unfiltered Story #56993
(We have recently hired a new employee. Right off the bat, we know that she’s not going to work out. She is rude and patronizing to other employees, ignores customers, sighs and rolls her eyes whenever we tell her to do something, flirts with any males, even if they have their girlfriend or wife in front of them, and refuses to serve larger woman. Managers and supervisors have been unable to let her go because she cries until they feel bad for her, and tell her to go back to work. I am a 5’9 Asian female, about 19 years old, and have been working here at the store for over 3 years. I’m working until my crush and his sister who is a mute, comes into the store. The new employee sees my crush first, and before I can stop her, leaves the register to flirt with him.)
New Employee: Hi there, sweetie! Are you looking for something? *towards his sister* I assume that he’s YOUR boyfriend, am I right?
Crush: Ah, nah. I’m here to buy something for my sister. She’s a mute and she asked me to help her pick out some new clothes.
New Employee: *sneering* Oh, what size is your sister, then, huh?
Crush: *visibly uncomfortable* Oh, um, she’s a size 18. She’s been going to some hard times so—
New Employee: Ew! 18? Get out! We don’t serve fatties here, you’re banned from the store, don’t come in here, or else I’m going to call the police on you. Mutes are a freak of nature, and should be killed when born!
(At that point, I drop the clothes I was helping put away with a customer, and run to where the new employee was yelling at the sister for being a “freak” and my crush for being “disgusting.”)
Me: HEY! [New Employee]! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
New Employee: What! Don’t yell at me! I’m doing my job! Keeping out all the freaks from this store! She’s a mute! They shouldn’t exist! And him? He’s a disgrace to humanity for being related to a mute!
Me: That’s not how you treat our customers! You should treat them all with respect!
New Employee: Don’t tell me what to do, you freak! Why don’t you just go home, do your homework, and let me do the job, huh?
Me: You don’t treat customers that way! I’m not going home unless you stop treating customers like trash!
(At that point. the new employee slaps me across the face, and pushes me into a rack. Almost immediately, security guards are on the scene, and the customer I was helping is yelling at the new employee)
Customer: THAT’S IT! I HAVE HEARD MORE THAN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ABOUT YOU TO BAN YOU FROM THIS STORE, HAVE YOU ARRESTED AND CHARGED FOR HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT, AND TO FIRE YOU. ACTUALLY F*** THAT! YOU’RE FIRED, BANNED, AND WILL BE CHARGED WITH HARASSMENT, ALONG WITH ASSAULT IF [My name] DECIDES TO PRESS CHARGES. GET OUT OF HERE!
Crush: Oh, you’re [My name], right? From [school]?
Me: *blushing* Oh, yeah. You’re one of my friend’s friend’s at school.
Sister: *makes gestures towards my crush*
Crush: *raises eyebrows* My sister says that you have a crush on me. May I have your number?
