On Oct. 10, 2004, appx 2 months after being hired at wal mart, a man approached me and asked to changed out his small bills to bigger ones, having not been trained what he was doing and not to give change, i obliged not wanted to upset him or the line od 10 or so customers behind him. It was 15 minutes before I was supposed to get off, and I had asked for that day off, ironically....my supervisor just never got back to me after repeated enquiries. After my shift, I counted down my till and was $400 short. I had been scammed. I recounted 5 or six times. I immediatly went to my supervisor and told him what had happened. He said he would watch the tape and that I would most likely get a written coaching. The next about an hour before the end of my shift, I was called in to his office and fired. I was fired for misappropriation of company assets in the amount of $650. This is a no-rehire termination. About a week later I went into appeal the descion to fire me with the store manager, my supervisor would not let me speak without interrupting him. And it was denied. I did not steal the money, I was not short $650, and I was not trained on short-change artists. Can I appeal to someone other than the company to have my reason for termination overturned, and be eligible for re hire. And if so how do I go about it. I really want a need my job back.
