I worked at a.m. p.m. Arco in Washouga Washington from March 30, 2016 to July 23, 2019. I was fired on the 23rd for somebody else time in the food wrong. I have been in trouble and threatened to be fired for the graveyard girl not coming in and I had to work a 16 hour shift and I got in trouble for that. There's never any lunch no breaks not even during a 16 hour shift. They don't like you even sitting down for one minute. I had to pay for my uniform and I turned it in July 25 or 26 and I have still not gotten my $35 back and I've asked for it two or three times. I had to pay back counterfeit money and I had to pay back my till when it was short and I've had to pay for product that I accidentally ruined. There was hostile notes posted up by our registers and it was so bad at one time the customers were saying what a mean boss we have only the used some cuss words. It was emotional and mental abuse always threatened to be fired. I would have the greatest anxiety before work. I loved my job I loved my customers and I was very good at my job. But the boss Kim Gills was absolutely awful. They put up a camera in the kitchen & it could see right into the bathroom. We all had to leave the door open to hear customers come in as we worked alone 95% of the time. Even corporate couldn't believe we worked alone. The ONLY time I got help was in the summer from two to three hours. I have filed a complaint with labor & industries. This store does so much illegal stuff it's not funny. I've seen people drive off with gas pump in they're car & all we had to do was hook it back up. Not broke. Not damaged. But still the owner charged them $500 dollars. We have to lie to venders. One time a coworker unplugged the ice cream cool bc it was making a loud noise. She forgot to plug it back in til way later. The vender could tell they melted & froze back up. So I told him what happened. I was AGAIN threatened to be fired & pay for ALL the ice cream if I ever told the truth to any vender again. Kim would cut my hours from almost 40 down to 23-27 if I did the least little thing wrong. Well I mean if she thought I did something wrong. She did that to us all. I'd really like the CEO & the board of directors to read this please. I'm also seeking legal counsel bc this job affected me so bad. I stayed bc I was good at my job & loved my regular customers. I'm saddened by it all. Oh & quite a few times she would overpay us & take it off our next check or make us owe her hours off the clock. Ty for taking the time to read this. Plz make sure others read this. Oh, the food would be made at 2 am on graveyard & they made us rebag & retime & sell it all day long til 9 pm instead of making fresh. Many many times the customers told me it was hard or tasted old. I couldn't tell the truth or I'd be fired. Kim's 9 year old works there from time to time & runs the register. Her 2 oldest are on the payroll for 40 hours a week. One is barely there & the other comes in for maybe an hour each nite to do the books. There has been a key broke off in the door for at least 2 years now. So we couldn't lock it & put up the tiny bathroom break sign if we had to #2. So I took Amodium on a daily basis so I'd never have to use the bathroom in that way. I've aid that company back at least $700 during the time I worked there. A coworker of mine has paid back almost 2 grand
