      Resolved
      I currently have 3 items in which ive rented. *** tried returning them due to me switching jobs and being behind on bills, however when i speak to the manager of the etown location she says they are too booked out. to pick up my furniture and she wants me to continue paying since they arent able to pick up. She refuses to schedule a date with me to pick up & I know that if they show up and im not at home theyre going to complain and do the most with the situation by blaming me. Shes text me about late payments & refuses to talk over text regarding pick up, probably so that i have no proof of anything. the first time i texted her regarding pick up, i got ignored. the next time; she tells me i have to call the store and then refuses.

      I worked for Beebee a Buddys Franchise in ****** ************** for the last 6 weeks and boy was taking this job a mistake, I was hired as a General Manager and the interview process seemed great and everything seemed nice until after I started. After starting with the company I noticed alot within the first 2 weeks for starters although they asked me specific questions such as "Are you okay with do collections calls at peoples houses or picking up merchandise to be returned" or " Are you okay with going up and down stairs carrying up to 300 lbs" they did not disclose what they needed to. I was told I would have a driver in my store and when I got there I didnt have one, I had one employee who was lazy and useless and the store was an absolute disaster! Inventory had not been done in God knows how long, I had no idea what I actually had, store was only partially tagged so I had no idea what half the merchandise was. There was no formal training structure in place and I was just thrown to the wolves. I was told during the interview process that a normal GM schedule was 9-7 Mon-Fri and that if I did work a Saturday hours where from 10-6. Never once was I told I would have to work every single saturday, never once was I told I would have to be in at 730am ever saturday to do early morning field visits, never once was I told I would have to stay out till 9 at night or later doing field visits, never once was I told I would have to at times do deliveries by myself of extremeley heavy furniture up stairs and risk injury to myself nor was I told that if something happened to the items it would come out of my pay. I was also not told that a neighboring store was missing over 9k worth of inventory that over the past year prior to me was transferred to my store along with over 4k of missing inventory at my store could result in me having pending charges and being used as a scape goat for their inability to run their regions properly. I am glad I gave notice and got out.
