We just recently got our own place (a few days ago), and the same day we move, my store manager decides to fire me. Over something I didn't do...I don't know what's going on over there, but something suspicious is definitely happening...

My store manager (who used to be my husband's store manager, too, but she moved to my store), told me that last Monday, when I worked, $75 was missing out of my drawer! (I'm a cashier.) I knew that wasn't right! And she said that if it's over $50 missing, then it's automatic termination...She "said" she's watched the cameras and talked to the other girls and couldn't find any proof of me taking $75, but since it was missing, I was to be automatically fired. Thing is, and I told her this, that one day when I came in to work (I didn't work the previous day) and I counted my drawer, TWENTY dollars was missing that day! I told the manager on duty that night, and she said she would cover it and went ahead and typed it on the computer that $100 was in my drawer when it was really only $80 in there. I don't know if she ever put $20 into it or not...

But here's the thing, we just got a new cashier withing the past few weeks. Everything was going fine before then...I think the new cashier is taking money...either that, or it's my store manager herself doing it just to get me fired...I'd like to try to get the district manager to watch the videos (recorded by the cameras). Because if my store manager took it, then she would have done it in the manager's office, and she wouldn't have bothered looking at that camera, but if our district manager looked at the cameras, then it would include the manager's office...

And when she was store manager over my husband's store, she gave HIM problems too. He was never trained as a third key manager at his old store, and she went ahead and hired him in as a third key manager at her store, but she never trained him. Whenever he would ask her something, she would just tell him, "figure it out" and leave him to it. And when he did something wrong, she would tell him that and treat him like he should have known... She's lazy and acts like she doesn't really care about the store too...

So we're just going to be living on his check until I can get me another job...our bills are going to take every single bit of his checks every week...and at the end of the month, we'll only have $100 to ourselves, and we'll have to use that to get toilet paper and kerosene (for the kerosene heater) and other stuff...And our food stamps won't come in until the 10th of next month, and so we're doing with very little food right now. (A package of balogna, a package of hotdogs, and ramen (but only if we set a pan of water on the kerosene heater to heat up the water, and that takes FOREVER.)

Our electricity should be turned on sometime today, so we can cook a little easier (we only have 2 built-in burners, no oven or microwave or anything...) And we can't get any food from the church until Wednesday (they only do it on Wednesdays; and usually, the first Wednesday of every month has the best food.) Luckily, that same church has a clothes closet (to get clothes from) and a kitchen (for people that needs something to eat and they can't afford it.) But the kitchen is only open on Wednesdays at a certain time, same with the food bank and clothes closet. :/

I'm at my mom's right now, using her internet, and waiting for her to get up (my husband had to go to work early, and all week this week he's going to have to do this, because he's working out of town to help fix up another store.) I've got a deal going with my mom, but we won't be able to start it until Thursday. Basically, until I get another job, I'm going to be coming over here to help her clean and do whatever she needs for a certain amount of hours, and she's going to pay for our internet...I'm glad she agreed to this...

Well, I need to go find me something to eat....@_@ My mom doesn't have much either, but she has more than we do...Sweating a little...

If I can give you some free advice.... 

For the food, try coupons because you in the US are luckier than us in Canada. You can use more than one coupon for the same item, while us, we can only use one per item. I'm sure it can greatly help you in the food departement. So the money you save on the food, you can put it on the electricity or other bills.


And for the manager thing, I'm very sorry that it had to be on you, she/he must have something against you and your hubby, since he/she's been giving you both troubles. 


Sometimes I wish I could help everybody, but it's impossible. I have a big heart, but my wallet is not as big. I would invit all my friends who are in money problems to stay with me until they are on their feets, but my 4 rooms appartment isn't big enough to hold them all. So, I'm sending positive energy your way. Plus, I will pray for you to have a job that you will feel good at doing.
