A little bit of a tricky sisuation right? The point is, I was a normal civilian with an ex team member who had slander which made me look like a bad guy for no reason all because I was dating him why should I have been affected even while hr made a point to me saying everything is fine with you. The day I got let go my stl saw me and I kinda felt a strange feeling and hr completely avoided me.
Dude, you were not a "civilian" and ex team member. You were a current team member with an ex team member that had been given the trespass papers from Target. That is problem number one. He had no place being in a Target store (when someone gets a trespass - it applies to all stores in the company). The fact you were with him makes it look like you were in on his illegal action of being on target property.
Second of all, just because you are not on the clock does *not* mean you can violate Target policy. You were told NO on your return by the GSTM, GSA, and LOD. That means your return must have violated the return policy in some way if they all told you no. So what did you do? Went store hopping until you found a store willing to break the return policy for you. Just because you are not on the clock doesn't make what you did ok. TMs are expected to follow all Target policy - and that includes the return policy. You were told no by an ETL and went to another store and did it anyway.
Basically your logic is working like this:
You: Well, I am off the clock. Think I'll go to another store today and shoplift a PS3 game.
You: Oh ****, AP busted me at the store! Then my store fired me!
You: That's not fair! I wasn't on the clock, so even though I violated Target rules on TM theft I shouldn't be fired for it!
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. You can't violate company policy just because you were off the clock. And yes, that includes "minor" policy like the return policy.
