This rant is about a partner. I read posts on this subreddit and feel so bad for those who have shitty store managers and feel very lucky that I have mine. She’s really a rare store manager because she’s very understanding and usually goes the extra mile for our accommodations. This being said, since this whole pandemic started she has been on top of everything, takes the steps to make us feel safe and as soon as one of us even has a fever, she is quick to find coverage for the next 2 weeks. This morning was a slow open and this partner who has been here for almost a year came in early and sat in the back with her coffee, she then clocks on and is on the floor, as soon as she steps on the floor we get a call from our store manager telling us to get her off the floor because she has symptoms. So our shift tells her to go home immediately. We are then stuck on a two person floor with our first rush of the day, while our shift goes to sanitize everything she touched and look for coverage for the day because she had an 8 hr shift scheduled for today. Why why why wouldn’t she call the store as soon as we opened and let the shift know she was having symptoms? I’m sure she had texted our store manager and for obvious reasons didn’t reply because she was asleep. As understanding as our manager is, so are the rest of our shifts. All of us working at the moment have little babies and that is NOT what we need. We are so annoyed bc she couldn’t take the extra step to let us know right in the morning. WHY COME IN AND TOUCH EVERYTHING.
