Seriously, when I was at Frys people would get fired over the dumbest stuff if you were not liked by management. I saw people get 5-day for not having polished shoes, for having gum in their mouths, questioning a DM over dumb stuff (making sure PUZZLES are in ABC order, only to see them trashed after 5 mins, especially on weekends), looking at a Muslim co-worker funny (happened to one girl during training and got fired), getting fired for making a fake Fry's card when all the attractive Frys Card Girls do it (trust me, management knows) and nothing ever happens for it unless you are an unattractive girl or a guy (regardless of how you look).....I can can go on and on....oh wait, getting fired and not being shown the proof, even though they have it, and being given some BS reason for not being shown the evidence. One time this guy was accussed of taking a soda, got 5 dayed (later discovered he didn't do it) and they refused to show the tape to him for legal reason....WHAT DA IS GOING TO PRESS CHARGES OVER A $1 SODA. Thats why customers take them all the time, because even they know it and LP doesn't care because its only $1 dollar. -

No, a car dealership is a lot better looking, smells better and doesn't require you to bend over just to get help. -

I used to work at that store and I saw a lot of decent folks that got fired. Sure there were a few people who got fired for being in the parking lot while on the clock or stealing, but I remember almost getting fired for standing on the bottom shelf to get items down. I got sent home early once as punishment one day because I had been half an hour late... three weeks ago. I was chastised for using a computer in service to look up information for a customer. I was one of the smartest people in the department, but there were some questions where looking it up online was the easiest/fastest way to get the answer. Meanwhile, supervisors would go look up airline rates on the same computer. I never saw any of them disciplined or even chastised for clearly dubious use of company resources.
I knew one guy who got fired supposedly because the store manager caught him reading a book on the sales floor. WTF? Some people were fired due to "poor" numbers, but in some cases it seemed rather random. I knew people that had lower profit/hr & lower commission/hr numbers than I did when I got fired that didn't get fired. I also knew people who got fired for "poor sales" who were in the top 10 in sales the week they were fired. That makes no sense at all. I am sure there was some method to their madness, but it wasn't clear to me that is for sure.
I even knew one guy who got a five day suspension for not doing the Fry's cheer. WTF?
Meanwhile I knew people who lied to customers left and right and supervisors and management often knew about it, but did nothing about it. Other co-workers would dump customers on me and wonder why I had trouble making numbers. Throwing "customers" at me who just want to waste my time isn't helping me make money.
The Fountain Valley store seemed really mismanaged, but the whole Fry's chain does some quirky stuff that didn't make much sense to me or to anyone else. -
