Family Dollar review: wrongful termination

I had been with the company for 5 months at the time of my WRONGFUL TERMINATION. During the termination interview they tried to ask me question in a position where I would voluntarily tell them things that I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF that may have been happening while on the clock. Their 1st story was I KNOWINGLY RUNG UP MY COWORKERS BUT DIDN'T SCAN ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS. THEN IT SWITCHED TO - I ALLOWED MY COWORKER TO DO THE SAME WITH A NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. They even told me that they viewed the footage of the accusations before this termination process. Mind you they had fired my coworker 5 mins before me. Once I reassured Management that nothing criminal was happening, it seemed like they went back to the drawing board after NO SUCCESSFUL CONFESSION because after speaking with LOSS PREVENTION the District Manager and the Manager went into the office for 30 mins viewing videos of my store until they found something to fire me for. AND THEY FIRED ME FOR NOT LOOKING IN MY COWORKERS BAGS BEFORE CLOSING THE STORE AT NIGHT. These were bags that she rang up on my Manager's shift. WHEN ASKED TO SEE THE FOOTAGE THEY DENIED ME. WHEN I ASKED THEM TO SEE THE FOOTAGE OF THE ACCUSATIONS THEY WEREN'T PRODUCED EITHER. LONG STORY SHORT. These folks had inventory the week before and was $13, 000 more shorter than last year for shrink. The District Manager was probably threatened and had to make it look like she was doing something to fix the shrinkage. I was told I was fired for FAILURE TO PROTECT STORE PRODUCTS. This was a store in an extremely high theft, homeless area. I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON MY TEAM TO CATCH THEFT AT MY MAGNITUDE FOR THIS LOCATION! Even once when the DM was there. THIS COMPANY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. HELL; I'm pretty sure I won't get any feedback from this either but if it helps someone to STAY AWAY FROM THEM THEN I FEEL I HAVE DONE MY JOB! THEY ARE LIARS AND ASSASSINS OF CHARACTERS! They banned me from the store and deemed me non-rehireable for something i could have gotten a FINAL WRITTEN WARNING FOR! I mean after all; I HAD NO DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS! NOT 1!
