I’m sorry to hear about your personal experience with Vons, but it also sounds like your manager had anger issues and was part of the problem.
When I’m working 12 hours a week and seeing 3-5 thefts, plus violence, every week, it’s more than just “shrinkage.” I can’t speak for all of CA, but that was my experience.
