Hello my name is rashekia cross. I am a former dollar general employee @ store #1350 in fla. I strongly believe that I was wrongfully terminated over a customer's check not clearing the bank for insufficent funds. I, as a cashier, made a mistake in pushing the cash tender button instead of the check button. The amount of the check was $332.10. After making this mistake I immediately notified my assistant manager (Toni robinson) about the error. She came over and took a look @ the check and nonchanlty blew it off. Now, ms. Robinson has been a dg employee for at least 2 years now. Maybe an asst. Manager for a yr, she should have known proper procedure. It is funny, I now know that after my dismissal of the company that she should have did a transaction void and had me re-rung the items. Also, more importantly she didn't receive a write up thus making it her final write up. But I was written up and terminated. I need to be the asst. Manager and she needs to be demoted back down to a cashier. How does that sound? So, in the words of a infamous (Tony) to another toni - "every dog has their day" - scarface! Thanks for hearing my side of the real story. !

HELLO MY NAME IS RASHEKIA CROSS. I AM A FORMER DOLLAR GENERAL EMPLOYEE @ STORE #1350 IN FLA. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT I WAS WRONGFULLY TERMINATED OVER A CUSTOMER'S CHECK NOT CLEARING THE BANK FOR INSUFFICENT FUNDS. I, AS A CASHIER, MADE A MISTAKE IN PUSHING THE CASH TENDER BUTTON INSTEAD OF THE CHECK BUTTON. THE AMOUNT OF THE CHECK WAS $332.10. AFTER MAKING THIS MISTAKE I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED MY ASSISTANT MANAGER (TONI ROBINSON) ABOUT THE ERROR. SHE CAME OVER AND TOOK A LOOK @ THE CHECK AND NONCHANLTY BLEW IT OFF. NOW, MS. ROBINSON HAS BEEN A DG EMPLOYEE FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS NOW. MAYBE AN ASST. MANAGER FOR A YR, SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN PROPER PROCEDURE. IT IS FUNNY, I NOW KNOW THAT AFTER MY DISMISSAL OF THE COMPANY THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DID A TRANSACTION VOID AND HAD ME RE-RUNG THE ITEMS. ALSO, MORE IMPORTANTLY SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE A WRITE UP THUS MAKING IT HER FINAL WRITE UP. BUT I WAS WRITTEN UP AND TERMINATED. I NEED TO BE THE ASST. MANAGER AND SHE NEEDS TO BE DEMOTED BACK DOWN TO A CASHIER. HOW DOES THAT SOUND? SO, IN THE WORDS OF A INFAMOUS (TONY) TO ANOTHER TONI- "EVERY DOG HAS THEIR DAY"- SCARFACE! THANKS FOR HEARING MY SIDE OF THE REAL STORY.!

WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH DOLLAR GENERAL? DOES ANY INTELLIGIENT, SMART, WISE AND OPEN-MINDED PERSON RECOGNIZE AND REALIZE THAT THESE TRAGIC AND UNFORTUNATE SITUATIONS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE THIS HAS TO STOP! FROM REGIONAL MANAGERS TO ASSISTANT MANAGERS AND ALL IN BETWEEN, I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THIS A CONSPIRACY. ARE WE LIVING IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE? BOTTOM LINE: WHAT'S RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG? WE HAVE MANAGERS STEALING MONEY FROM THE SAFE, PETTY CASH AND FROM AN EMPLOYEES CASH REGISTER WHILE THAT EMPLOYEE GOES ON A BREAK OR TO THE RESTROOM. PLEASE, NOW IS THAT FAIR, TRUE RIGHT AND JUST. MR. WILLIAM RICK DRELING, WHICH IS THE CEO OF DOLLAR GENERAL CORPORATION NEEDS TO BE AWARE OFALL OF THESE IMPORTANT MATTERS. WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE IS HE ENTRUSTING TO REPRESENT FOR HIS COMPANY? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME!

GIVING DOLLAR GENERAL ANOTHER CHANCE IS A WASTE OF YOUR VALUBLE TIME #1 YOU WERE TREATED BY YOUR SUPPERVISERS THE SAME WAY THEY WERE TREATED BY THEIRS. #2 GO FOR A JOB INTERVIEW FOR ANY OTHER RETAILER AND WATCH THEIR REACTION WHEN YOU TELL THEM YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIANCE IS WITH DOLLAR GENERAL. ALL OTHER RETAIL COMPANY KNOW WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY DOLLAR GENERAL IS AND THEY FRANKLY DO NOT WANT ANY EMPLOYEE THAT HAS EVER WORKED THERE.

Thats dg for you. what you did wrong was piss off the wrong person. all dms have a god complex and if you disagree with them on ANYTHING you are treated like garbage so you will quit and if you dont quit they WILL manufacture a reason to fire you, then replace you with somebody new and start the whole act over again with them.
