When I was working for TJ's I came out of the back room, singing along to a Sinatra tune that was playing and did finger guns to a co-worker along with the tune. (I think it was My Way or something along those lines)
A week later I get taken in the back room for a discussion on a HR complaint, about how said co-worker no longer feels safe working with me because of the finger guns. My response of "We all know that she's batshit crazy, and this is stupid." held no water. I got transferred and a black mark on my name for the next store, which by the time the rumor mill was done with it turned into "this guy pulled a gun on someone in the middle of the store!"
Said it before, fuck Trader Joe's and fuck their HR department. Eventually they had a "reorg" on people in line for management, and strangely all the straight white males were knocked out of the running. (Except for some SWM that had shown the correct attitude of wokeness.)
This hits home.
