and I feel so down. I wanted to end it on a good note, but it didn't go as I had planned. The manager walks me back to her office to get one of those "exit interview" forms out of her filing cabinet and I was going to tell her thank you for giving me this opportunity and tell her I'm sorry it didn't work out. Instead, she says in a very bitchy tone, "The regional manager asked me when your last day was. He also said, 'Did you know she was wearing tennis shoes the other day?' Jerry (the marketing manager) noticed it too!" she tells me. I felt like she was stabbing me in the side.
I wanted to scream. One of the reasons I decided to quit this job was because I have feet problems and standing all day on the concrete without my shoes with the custom orthodics in them was making my feet problems worse. When I turned in my resignation, the manager begged me to stay on for 2 weeks until she could find someone else. I told her I would, but only if I could wear my tennis shoes and she agreed that that would be ok. Today, when she mentioned that both managers had called it to her attention, I felt like she was making sure that I knew that I had gotten her in trouble since I had not followed company policy.
This is a very casual children's furniture/toy store, mine you!!! I could understand if it were an elegant jewelry or women's clothing store. I can't believe that they were being so petty. I had done tons of sales lately and I wantedt to say to them, "I don't think any of the customers said to themselves, 'I'm not going to do business with this woman because she's wearing tennis shoes.'"
Sorry, but I just need to vent. I felt like a little girl getting reprimanded by the school principal----all over the kind of shoes I was wearing! Gasp! I'm such a rebel. I wore tennis shoes to work. Ha!
Thanks for listening.
