    Bad work performance!!

    Well the other day i got call in the manger offices and said if i wanted a rep to represent me, because what they are about to say is very serious i said no because i feel i have done nothing wrong,well i was stocked and scared because they said that i have lost them nearly 200 pounds have gone missing in the last few weeks on my til under my password . I know im no theft but it sure did feel like it :upset: they were both good to me but said i have to be more aware of what im doing and if i have a problem to come and see them. The only think i can put this down to is my drinking this has never happen to me b4 and i know im not 100 percent alert in what im doing.... what made it worst yesterday a customer said they give me 20 pounds i thought the customer give me 10 but for that split second i cant remember so now they have to do a til check on my checkout........so i have been feeling really paranoid right now. Why is this happening Now and not last year?
    i know i drink everyday but dont go over board thinking that im moderating who im i kidding??? myself i think..
    Thanks for reading i know i have been here now over 2years you think i would have learn something by now!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Catch,

    Well, it sounds as though they know you didn't steal the money because they would have just sacked you on the spot if they thought you had. And they obviously like you because they are giving you a second chance.

    The question is: what are you going to do with your second chance? Is your job more important than drinking or is drinking more important than your job?

    We have choices, and you can choose to go one way or the other. It sounds like a good time to think about what you want and which way you want to go. Over to you...

      Ugh...drinking and it's ugly repurcussions.
      Everythings so much easier without the hassel al comes with.
      You'll be fine Catch, Marshy speaks wisely.

        Bad work performance!!

        Hi catch22,
        My partner has worked in retail for more twenty odd years and knows every trick in the book, but every now and then a new version will appear and catch them all out for a little while. It's amazing how many times people fall for the old 'I gave you a twenty' routine. They also work in pairs and one person will buy something with a marked twenty and then the next will come along, pay with a ten and say that she/he remembered her twenty had this mark on it and of course the till operator doesn't see the link until they're gone. There are so many scams going on, on both sides of the till. One girl got caught having stolen thousands of pounds over the course of a year with some trick she'd worked with returned goods.
        It's hard to keep your wits about you when you're not feeling too good, but it's not your fault that these clever sods are out stealing. The thing is though that these people always get found out and honesty always pays off eventually. If I were you, I'd put it down to experience and try and enjoy today.
        Have a good one

          Feel for you sweetie!

          Catch, I DID have a "warning from my boss cuz she liked me", and turned that I lost that really great, easy, prestigious job, and have been working a sh&t jobs since then, be careful, I care about you, and btw thanks for the email, it really helped me tonight, as it has been a rough one, this is a horrible, horrible problem we are all fighting! Have you tried baclofen yet?! The campral never really truly helped me......

          Love you gal!!!!

            Very good advice already, Catch. Marshy hit it on the head; which is more important, the drink or your livlihood? You are dealing with money, and the (not always honest) public. You've got to be AHEAD of them, not trying to hang on. I'd guess your employers have already seen the signs, and know far more than you think, or wish. Get your act together NOW. Listen to CG, she's been there, done that! BTW, put the money they hand you outside the till until you make change, count it back, and say, "Is that correct?" Once they answer yes, then any questions, you know what you did and refer them to your manager immediately with your explanation of how you handled it. Best wishes hon.

              Nothing much to add catch, but I'm surprised they didn't seem to give you scam avoidance tips as were given here. And yes, AL always adds that element of doubt. I recall that you were very happy with an AF run. Are you still that happy modding? :l

                  One more thought. Ask your managers if it's OK to use a colored marker to just tap a color on each bill of any size as you receive it. That way, Bob's your uncle, there's your proof!

                      Bad work performance!!

                      Hi Everyone just thought i :bump: this thread:
                      The reason why is that the other day in work at the beginning of my shift i got called over to say that i have 3red lights, this means that my teamleader or manager have been checking to see how i have been serving the customers. I was soo shocked because when i got called over the first time, i made sure that i did everything right what i was told to do, I was very upset and really wanted to cry but i hold backed those tears of mine, and said that i know that i worked last week the best of my ability that i could and i cant do no more what will be, will happen.....its out of my hands, had to sign something to say am aware of this. Got back to my checkout and started thinking to myself that i can understand if i was drinking that my performance was back, i really wanted to run away from it all and get myself a bottle and get drank, anyway my teamleader called me over again and said sorry that she did a mistake and that i have 1 green light which means am ok that i passed. Dont know what would of happen if i got called over at the end of my shift weather i would of got the fu*k it drink.
                      The next day i was still upset and call my sponsor and cryed, I felt goood afterwards weather this was a testing point for me from above,
                      This really got me Thinking how AA has help me a lot and how i have learned a lot about myself that there are times when i cant just ran away from how i feel inside me i learn how to feel my feelings for the first time and dealt with the situation without picking up that first drink.
                      "Feeling disease" feeling are not the disease not feeling them repressing them holding them back is the problem i know now i have a lot of unresolved feelings from my past that just dont disappear, i have a long way to go on this one my feelings are deep that have been stored in my fiber and tissue of my body. I feel like am on the right path for once in my life. feeling really proud of myself.
                      Thanks for taking the time to read my post and for all your support:l

                          Catch, I'm SO glad to see you. I remember this ordeal. I have to admit when I started to read the posted replies I got a shock when I saw CowGals reply.
                          Somehow, maybe this threat has made you REALLY look at your 'sober' hours. AL affects everything. You are making changes. That's WONDERFUL. I urge you to keep posting here, more often, and get the support you need, we all need. OK?

                            Catch, I'm so glad that you are proud of yourself. You have come such a long and wonderful way in your sober journey. I'm grateful that you share a part of that with us! I know it's not easy. It wasn't easy to live drunk and it's not easy at first to live sober either. You are doing great just soldiering on, and learning and growing with each step.
