RHU: Thank You Letters

LETTERS TO CUSTOMER AND MANAGER: THANKS FOR CAUSING RETAIL HELL

From Cranky Cashier:

Hello RHU!!

I recently had an experience in Retail Hell that makes me beyond angry. So I wrote a couple letters to explain my general feelings (that will probably never be sent). Enjoy!

Dear Customer who whacked me in the head,

What the HELL?!

Why in the world would you offer to hold something and then suddenly decide not to, dropping it on my head. And after this why in the world was your mother apologizing (and the customer after you) while you glared at me. Excuse me for not being able to levitate objects. If you do not wish to help your mother shop there is no reason to take this out on me.

Sincerely,

The Crankie Cashier

PS I hope somebody drops something on your head.

And now to the second letter:

Dear Previously Awesome Manager,

I just wanted to say thanks.

Thank you so much for letting an employee who has been throwing up and is clearly confused sit in the break room for 2 hours. It isnt like getting hit in the head with things can cause lasting complications or anything. And the fact that you ignored another employee who is a registered nurse telling you that something was wrong with me really touches my heart. The fact that you let me sit there until 4 fellow employees literally cornered you and pressured you into letting me go to the ER is not something that I will ever forget.

--The Crankie Cashier

I hope all of you fellow slaves have a safe and problem free (haha) Thanksgiving and Black Friday!!

What the hell? Who does that? Does he not understand how gravity works? And double what the hell to your manager who seriously endangered your well being. Were you gonna have to bleed from your eyes and ears for him to realize something was wrong? I am just glad your co-workers stood up for you so you could get medical help. Is there someone you can complain to, because that is fucked up. Your health trumps serving crustys.

For some stupid reason, many managers believe that employee labor is disposable.

I'm sorry, when did we start looking like China?

umm... you should be talking to your local OHSA board or something about that manager's response... seriously

The letter has been written to the district manager as well as the hr rep. It just has to be sent.

Thanks for the anger :D

@ Bitch Boy: Those are the managers that you love to see get fired. I guess they forget that they're employees too, meaning that their own logic applies to them as well.

Dude, you can leave! Nothing's keeping you at work. They can take your spirit, but they can never take your free will! If they tried to fire you for leaving to go to the ER, bring up OSHA or threaten a lawsuit or something.

You can effectively have a complete home office melt down.
This is a lawsuit.
no company wants a lawsuit when they are at fault.

I was too out of it to drive or help for myself. People are still calling me a zombie because of the way i was sitting there and staring.

They should've called an ambulance if you were in that state.
Lawsuit city, right there.

I hope something comes out of that letter you sent to HR. It broke my heart to read that.

What is it with entitled managers, anyway? When I worked as a waitress once, one of our cooks cut the tip of his thumb off and was bleeding everywhere. The manager insisted the cook put a bandage on it and keep cooking. One of the other waitresses was his girlfriend and she finally yelled at the manager and took her boyfriend to emergency. Ya gotta wonder sometimes!

Oh honey...may today be filled with delicious pies and stuffing for you. And may the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of your manager, and may his arms be too short to scratch.

Your manager is a complete idiot, and deserves to lose his job for endangering your life like that.
