I Worked for Walgreens for almost 7 Years. I went from A Cashier to Head Photo Tech to Finally "Earning" My Promotion of Store Team Lead early in the Year 2014. I held this Title for about 10 Months and Did A Outstanding Job with it. Truth is I LOVED This Job. That all Changed Thursday Jan 15th 2015. Before I get into what Happened, I need to Explain A "Policy" of Walgreens. Their Employee Discount.. Rules State You as well as One "Family" Member may partake in use of this Luxury. Years Ago when I started with Walgreens, I had a Partner named Joe. I found out then at the Store I started at in Ringgold that Yes Joe "Qualified" to use my Discount. Unfortunately Joe passed away in December of 2010. Around this time I Transfered to the Dalton Store where I remained. I never let anyone use my Discount for years. Through it all My "Ex Wife" Remained by My Side. We have a Odd Relationship to Some. We have A Grown Son together and we Live on the same Property, Seperate Houses but literally maybe 15-20 Feet from each other. We share Utilities and such and Yes have Remained "FAMILY" For over 24 Years. Several Months ago I gave Her the other Discount Card. She barely ever Shops at Walgreens and on Occassion when she did come in, it was to pick Me up cause I needed A Ride Home. While she'd wait on Me, She'd pick up a few things and always ask me "You want me to grab you anything"? I NEVER EVER Thought I was Breaking "Policy". Sharon My Ex is the Only Family outside of our Son that I have. I don't have a Relationship with My "IMMEDIATE" Family at all. The word "Immediate" will come back to Haunt Me Later. The last Two Years I met Someone, His name is Chris. He doesn't "Live" with me technically, He'll spend a week here or there with me then goes back to Cleveland. When he is in Town, He'll drop me off in the Morning and come in to Buy Cigerettes "No Discount on that" and maybe a Soda Pop. My Store Manager would Ring Him up, Policy is I can't Ring up Friends or Family. My Store Manager would Immediately just give Chris the "Discount" without saying yeah or nay. about 4-5 Month's ago we were having A Problem with another Employee, Becky. We've had alot of issue with Her for Her Conduct. As she was being "Verbally" Coached she Brought up the fact of My ex Wife using my Discount. Guess it was to take the Heat off of HerSelf. After she left the Office, I asked my Manager then "Is there a Issue"? He said "He didn't think so" and "LAUGHED" It Off. He said Quote "WOW, She tried throwing you under the Bus"! He then said He'd would try to find out from our "Loss Prevention" Guy Rick Rollins and He also Stated "Sharon is a Customer and She Spends Money in here. I never heard No more about it. Til Thursday Jan the 15th 2015. I'm called into Office, Asked about "Her use of My Card" I explained I don't Feel I'm breaking any Policy or committing Misconduct. I'm allowed One Family Member, She is My "FAMILY". Rick Rollins the Loss Prevention Guy starts Dictating to Me who is and who ain't "MY FAMILY". I Found this Insulting. I even told Him so. I was made to write a Report, Declaring My "View" of all this. Upon Reading it, Rick didn't like the Fact I didn't put in the Report that My Manager "WARNED ME" And "TOLD" Me Not to let Her use It. He Told me "YOU WERE TALKED TO RIGHT"? I Said I'm Confused. He then Said "Mr. Pezic "Store Manager" Told you NOT To allow this, Right"? Then he "MADE ME INCLUDE IT IN THE REPORT"! I was "FEARING" For My Job, My Reputaion, Being called a Thief. Then I was allowed to Leave the Office. I asked on My way out, "Whats going to Happen"? Rick said, Don't know, we have to send it off to District or Home Office. The Next Day Friday Jan 16th, I came in to work my Shift, Worked half the Day when Rick came back, Called me to Office. He told Me that I owed the Company $29.00 and some change from the Purchases Sharon had made mostly he Claims from her buying "Make Up".. I'm still trying Explain and that some of the Things she picks up are Mine. He and my Store manager Agreed. They have of their Surveillance Footage of Me giving Her Money or Something. I was told to Pay back the Money, I said Sure, I can do that right Now, Just Need to get Cash. Once I said Yes, Signed another Paper "After Being Told "My Store Manager will Decide My Discipline, I was "Terminated". Fact.. Just a few Months ago, A CoWorker feel for the "Green Dot" Money Card Scam with a Person over the Phone, That is "Immediate Termination" yet She got a Write up. Another Employee "After Weeks and Weeks" of being Told Not to Except these "False" Coupons that are circling around, She Did.. That too was cause for Immediate Termination, She got a Write Up. Another Employee and Her Mother had A Problem with "Becky" when She refused the Discount, Mr. Pezic got Mad and took up for this Employee and Her Mother. I was told I Stole from Walgreens, cost them Money, Yet these three Incidents caused alot more that $29.00.. And All For What? Cause I Let A "FAMILY" Member use my Discount? One Minute it's "She's Not your Family" then it was "She don't Live with You under One Roof"! Well, We R "FAMILY" And We Live Close enough that I can Here Her if She Burped... That's My Story.. Hurt, Confused and Alittle Ticked.. Guess Walgreens knows My Life Better than I Do...
