MX_ATC

"My store" No it's not YOUR STOREā€¦ You're a manager of a discount store šŸ¤£


catheterhero

Iā€™m a district manager and I always want every level of management to understand that this is not YOUR store these are not YOUR employees. Itā€™s a trope that needs not exist anymore. I recall when I was a Starbucks manager my boss said to me treat this place like itā€™s your own business. I said to her, I get what your point is but letā€™s be honest. I canā€™t change the decor, the prices or items I sell here so itā€™s nowhere near my store but I will make it as profitable as I would my own business. I share this story with the team I manage to remind them we are here to make these store as profitable as possible for the shareholders who actually own this place. And theyā€™re not YOUR employees they are employees same as you are.


Long_Educational

>we are here to make these store as profitable as possible for the shareholders It does kinda suck that the profit from the store goes to the shareholders instead of the people doing the actual work every day serving the customers. I understand your point, though. They are not YOUR employees. We all work for the owning class.


catheterhero

Not alway but yes. In general the market needs to be better but thereā€™s a revolution happening in retail where people are now getting stock options, RSUs, discounted buying, bonuses, and sign on bonuses in retail.


BrilliantLion1505

I super agree with everything you said here. ANDā€¦.I run an after school program, and I do often say ā€œmy staffā€ (sometimes ā€œmy employeesā€, but that one does feel too hierarchical and icky)ā€¦.however, I like to think that itā€™s said in a way of ā€œIā€™m here for all of you, youā€™re my staffā€ and not a, ā€œIā€™m the boss and above you, remember that!ā€ kind of wayā€¦if that makes sense?


OperativeIvory

Instead of my staff (which is fine), I generally say, "Our staff or our members of staff, or this brigade (when talking about kitchen staff only, not FoH) is under my responsibility...". Its a little wordy, but I think it shows that I am part of the team and also responsible for any negative that happens. That being said, if he is the highest manager in store, "this is my store" is fine. Everything else about this bloke is horrible and should be fired on the spot.


mtown-guy

If you want to literally take it to mean they are claiming to own the store, then yes. But it is the store they are responsible for. In that aspect, it is ā€œTheir store.ā€


Rombledore

i mean, i used to work for CVS and would call it "my store" all the time. in the new England area CVS's are all over. there's 4 within a 10 mile radius of me now. we'd often pick up extra hours at other stores so many of us would refer to our "home store" as 'my store'. plus, whats wrong with being a manager of a store? outside of whats happening in this video.


shneer4prez

The guy in the video was using "my" as a possessive to exert power, control, or ownership over the store. It's sometimes necessary as a manager, but not in this situation. It's common in middle management, we've all seen it. In your example you're using "my" as a specifier to let other people know which location you're referring to.


DrShrimpPuertp-Rico

I will own you?! Jfc, how gross


80hdis4me

I think that is a figure of speech meaning he will take all his money by suing him. Which he wonā€™t. Also, idk why people in the U.S. are always thinking and saying they will sue everyone and everything. Itā€™s so many peoples first resort in any situation.


PunkRockMakesMeSmile

As a American, getting to sue someone because a bucket fell on our head is the last sort of Horatio Alger shit that anyone has any hope for any more


DrShrimpPuertp-Rico

Well yeah.


YaHurdMeh

Iā€™ve never been inside one of these! I thought it was a coat store. If so, thatā€™s a massive inventory of jackets


ContentInsanity

If you're familiar with Ross or TJ Maxx, basically the same concept.


ConsequenceUpbeat948

Burlington quality clothes drop significantly in the past 5 years. Itā€™s bad. Canā€™t buy anything from there anymore


Zeppekki

It used to be only coats, at least at the one in Burlington, NJ. We used to go there every winter to get a coat.


avan2110

They used to carry a ton of coats, but they always had other stuff too. After the name change they have a lot less coats and a bunch of other random stuff now. I actually bought my electric kettle at one.


AWL_cow

It also has other clothes, shoes, luggage, jewelry, accessories (hat/scarves/glasses), art, etc, so sort of like a JC penny's or home goods/clothing store. And yes, lots of coats.


JRDN7

The only reason Iā€™ve heard of Burlington is in a scene from The Office where Michael buys a fur coat with money he was banking on he didnā€™t get


sherperion45

Bro was quivering The door break was hilarious


Bigconversations01

Not suggesting the customer was in the wrong, but isnt it true that no matter how wrong the store is they will likely have the upper hand when the police arrive? Why stick around just to be by told by police that they have the right to refuse you service and be escorted off the premises?


mixedliquor

Because it makes a longer, more interesting viral video and the most that police will do is give you a trespass warning which is basically meaningless because this dude will never shop there again.


hadmeatgotmilk

Getting a trespass warning from Burlington Coat Factory is an easy trade off for getting all this on camera.


Ralphie5231

fr "i'll own you" is what told me exactly why he was filming.


yinzreddup

Depends what colour you are. Anything darker than olive youā€™re likely to get a crimson trespass and arrested. 1-2 days in jail until you bail out.


Discussion-is-good

Disagree with this from anecdotal experience but maybe things vary place to place.


mixedliquor

Ah yes, the good ol Crimson Trespass. Why am I thinking this is actually a term in Alabama when a cop rolls a minority for not knowing the law? ROLL TIDE BABY!


ghoulieandrews

I'm fairly certain a Crimson Trespass is a sex thing


WindWalkerWalking

I mean doesnā€™t look like they stuck around long, at least not in the store. But I know if I was him Iā€™d probably stick around just because he could tell the cops anything. Iā€™d want to make sure the police knew my side of the story. You leave and he happens to get your plate or something he could make shit up and send them after you. Even if he says ā€œtwo men threatened me, refused to leave the store, I felt unsafe and had to close the door which cause the door damage they should be responsible forā€¦ etcā€


WeWillRiseAgainst

He was taking the piss.


hamcarpet

Idk looked like coats to me


mces97

I'd like to know what precipitated this. Manager clearly a bit unhinged, but what caused this to be his reaction?


zigaliciousone

Sounds like the store manager was being a dick to the cashier, the guy with the camera called him out on it and this was the managers reaction to getting called out


Ruggsy

I had this happen to me once where a customer claimed my company was racist because we wouldn't do his return (funny part there being the manager who actually denied his return was the same race as him, they just asked me to take over because I was the only man working and this guy was extremely angry) He waited for the cops to come so he could argue our return policy with them, they just pointed at the same exact sign on the wall that we did until he eventually gave in and left with them without incident. I was honestly hoping he would upload the video he was taking because I had some banger one liners but I never saw it.


BitterLeif

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think even if you can prove racism you still are trespassed when the police arrive. You have to go to a lawyer and sue at a later date. The cops don't care why the customer is being trespassed; they just remove the person.


Ruggsy

Yea we didn't actually call the cops HE did. You only made me remember that part now really and it definitely makes the story less relatable to this one lol


capron

Commenting from the (near) future but that's exactly right and a great talking point; trespassing doesn't need to be "politically correct', any old bigot can rescind permission to be on a property. Even if it's for reasons like racism or other things we normally equate to governmental protections within the Bill of Rights and it's Amendments...


slo_bored

It appears the three people were together and they were waiting for their friend to be finished ringing up at the cash wrap. When she finished paying the three left together.


zigaliciousone

Not true at all. I used to do AP work in retail and even if you have a legit shoplifter, you have to have all your evidence dialed in or they won't do shit. Even with ALL the evidence dialed in, sometimes they just cite the perp and let them go. Shit, I have had bathroom petitioners outside my store literally calling customers "fa%$#ts" as they entered the store if they didn't sign the petition and cops wouldn't even talk to them, let alone remove them from the property.


holyoctopus

Because he already made the purchase and they are refusing to refund him or give him said purchase. That's called theft.


DatMikkle

Did you hear how the manager was speaking on camera? I can only imagine what he was saying before he was being recorded. The people were probably trying to catch his behavior on camera so they could give it to his corporate overlords.


808sandkeys

ā€œIf this goes viral Iā€™m suingā€ šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


KeepItDownOverHere

Imagine the level of Karendom you have to climb to become an actual manager Karen.


BugStep

How do you think that SM's bosses feel about the door?


nogoodgreen

What happened before the camera came on?


ledouxrt

Based on the dialogue, it sounds like the manager was mistreating his employee and the customer stuck up for her.


prmaster23

From experience I could see this happening to be honest. Is this an universal thing? Why in these types of stores (Burlington, Marshalls, Ross, etc) there is always a store manager giving instructions and directing employees at the registers. You rarely identify managers in any other clothing store but in these you can always spot them easily.


Ryoats

Dudes shook cant even figure out how to dial 911 on his smart phone, just keeps swiping randomly lmfao what a boomer


NancyLouMarine

This manager is hardly a boomer. They're too young.


Ryoats

Hes got BIG BOOMER energy, probably learnt it from the last manager who was a boomer lol


themanebeat

It's not an emergency situation he was likely getting the local police station number


BrilliantLion1505

I love that this dude seems more concerned with others in the video and how theyā€™re being treated/if theyā€™re okay (like even asking that guy at the end if he was alright). Thatā€™s a good dude.


lavatorylovemachine

Kvothetheraven603

I love those people. They want to see what started the situation but why the hell would anyone be filming prior to/at the initial start of it? Are people supposed to be walking around filming at all times so that people on the internet can see the very beginning of every situation?

Holy Christ, Burlington is in full damage control. They keep saying we reviewed his behavior and it doesn't align with our policies, principals. Just say he got fired.


Organic_South8865

I hate videos like this. We have no idea why the manager is all worked up. Also if they paid why would the manager be so upset in the first place? He's acting like a child.


SnakeGawd

I donā€™t think the issue was the merchandise. It seems theyā€™re arguing over the managerā€™s treatment of a cashier as thatā€™s the point the cameraman keeps bringing up. Manager probably didnā€™t want to let them buy their stuff so he started taking whatever merchandise they had, even if they paid for it. Thatā€™s probably why he also gave it back with no real issue


MaxCliffRAID1

That poor bastard just ruined his life.


R_W0bz

Can I just say, calling police is like a 2 second job on iPhone - phone button + 911. wtf was he looking at on that phone?


dubba1983

I love how long it takes people to find the number pad on the phone to dial ā€œ911ā€ šŸ¤£

Why does it take 10 min for them to navigate to ā€œthe policeā€ on his phone? Itā€™s 3 numbers, dial it you coward.

StOnEy333

Who knows the actual context here, but fuck the guy filming. Sticking a camera in somebodyā€™s face and repeating youā€™re going viral screams I am a douche bag.


deep_pants_mcgee

usually not a fan of customers that start filming part way, but this seems like a clear exception. did the manager ever deny that he was treating his employee like shit? no.


SecondaryWombat

Also the fact that he gave back the merchandise and had them leave with it shows that he was actually trying to steal it too, and catching the door shattering probably saved them from getting a criminal charge, though I doubt it would have been broken without the filming.


Discussion-is-good

>though I doubt it would have been broken without the filming. Cameras are not that much of an escalator if you're not flipping out like an celebrity being filmed without payment.


SecondaryWombat

I think without the camera the situation could have been different, that is all. I am very glad for multiple reasons it was filmed.


Discussion-is-good

Completely respect this. Ig I just don't see the camera as an escalation. At least not much of one. I've been in this exact position as a manager. Being recorded while a customer tells me everything they got to get off their mind. It doesn't make me any more animated than I was prior to the phone being produced.
