Assistant Manager wouldn’t give me my check because it was busy & they were the only manager (USA)
I went during the time frame they “allow” us to come pick up our paychecks. I’ve been asking for weeks for someone to help me with my direct deposit information because the app won’t let me put it in myself for some reason. No help because I’m overnights and we just kind of get tossed to the wind and nothing is ever taken care of for us. Anyways, I went to pick up my paycheck, noticed it was pretty busy and decided to wait a bit. Waited in my car for about 20 minutes before I went inside. Get in there and the assistant manager looks at me and says “not to be an asshole but you’re not getting it right now. Look at my screens”. That’s not my problem. My cats need food and I have things I need to do on my scheduled pay day? So I said “that’s fine I’m willing to wait so I’ll just go sit in the back and you can get it when you have a moment”. They looked at me and said “well that’s probably going to be a few hours or more so there’s no point in waiting.” So I left without my paycheck and I have no clue when I’ll be getting it. Mind you, they’re the one who does the scheduling & they’re notorious for scheduling themselves alone and they end up rushed and overwhelmed. And everytime this manager says “not to be an asshole”, they sound like an extreme asshole. I don’t see how being busy is my issue. Not sure how to handle this but I have an issue with being told I can’t have my paycheck when it’s payday.
