I've been working at this store for a year now, and have
heard the Store Manager talking to another employee, this
employee was jokingly complaining about lots of
markdown...the manager tols her" you better do it, or do
you want us to bring in more people with funny names"...I
assume the "funny names" was used for foreign people or
people of other race. The employee in question is white
and everybody in that conversation is white...I was
working in corner, and they did not know I was there, they
laugh at the Mangers"joke"...and I stood up so that they
can see I was there and have heard them, they quickly walk
away, and the guilt on the some emplyees faces, one
particular employee is a visual employee I could tell she
was embarrassed.
On another occasion, I had a complaint about am employee,
and one Assistant manager was " mediating"...I have repeat
every sentence, she made me repeat every sentence and I
could the sascarms in her face every time she make me
repeat myself. This same Assistant manager, did the same
thing with a another Buisness Manager, she is foreign, and
she made her repeat what she was saying, also having a
sascarsm on her face smiling and looking around, as if
foreign people are funny or something, as she was looking
around, she saw me,I gave her a look, that said, that was
not funny....not only that we are in a very competitive
environment, sales associate will always say something bad
about each other to eliminates competion....in my case I
think they are watching me as if I steal or something...at
one point the guard was following me when I was lunch and
spying...or if they see me talking or even buying form
another department, there will always be somebody with a
red shirt(guards) around....I have never stolen anythin in
my life, and do not intend to steal anything...this is so
frustrating and demeaning..above all we have to deal with
racist customers as well, 2 days ago a customers did not
want my help and she was just plain angry, I stood by the
registar, and left her alone, as expected she went to pay
with another" white " associate, but I was who greeted her
and offered to help her, she complained that I pressured
and watched her the eintire time, which is not true, my
manager took her side not even asking my side of the
story...see the customer is white....these are daily
things people go through at Dillards..I left that day, I'm
not sure what will happen today....I'm not sure if the
customer have called personnel and she was asking where
they were located, and said something that I did not
hear...I assume she will call from home....as always i
will be wrong or even fired.
