“Hallmark” says “I treat my employees like shit”

Yesterday (1/20 EST) less than 30 minutes into my shift I was called into the back by my manager. She informed me that she had been watching me on the cameras ever since a disgruntled customer had called to complain about another employee who had been working when I was. Apparently she had said something that upset the customer (not at the time but several days later) and I was given the blame. Typical. While watching me on the cameras she had seen me reading behind the register that Tuesday and found this unacceptable. She then said she was upset to find that I had read behind the register and was leaning against the desk behind the counter the previous night and this warranted my firing. I said to her, “There were other people reading” to which she replied “Well, I don’t know about that but if other people are reading, disciplinary measures will be taken against them as well.” Which means nothing will happen to anyone but me even though everyone has read a book at the register at one time or another and it has been on camera. While I do not wish any of my former coworkers to even be written up for something so silly as reading, I believe my firing to be unjust and unfair. Because of this, I wrote a letter to the office which I will post behind a cut.
