Ross Stores Employee Goes Into Mental Breakdown After Mistakenly Giving Customer Way Too Much Change On Her Third Day Of Work
A terrible way to start off your new job.
Ross Stores can be a tough place to learn the ropes, especially when you are only a few days into the job and every small mistake feels huge. For one new cashier, that pressure boiled over fast after she accidentally gave a customer far more change than she should have.
The TikToker, Melly, said it happened on her third day at work, and her manager had to run after the customer to fix the mistake. What followed was a very public meltdown, a fitting room assignment, and a flood of reactions from people who have been there too.
By the time Melly posted her update, the internet was already weighing in. Read on.
The TikTok quickly gained popularity, with more than 300,000 views
Melly received words of encouragement from viewers, who told her that they had done much worse at their workplaces and that she shouldn't worry too much about it.
"We all mess up. I've done the same. It be like that."

After a while, Melly provided a video update on the situation. The TikToker said that her manager confined her to the fitting room for the duration of her shift.
In the text overlay, she expressed concern over her nervousness, stating, "Not me having a mental breakdown after she said, 'It's okay, you'll be handling the fitting rooms till closing.'"
This also echoes the lender’s dilemma over whether to keep the borrowed money after a coworker’s financial emergency, in the “keep loaned money” debate.
