During my time at the workplace, I was subjected to repeated bullying and harassment by management.

call to say it had arrived last week. Then I received another email so say it had arrived that seemed a little passive aggressive as if the item had been there for a while and I hadn’t picked it up. Went into store again to pick up and were very helpful. This is the first time I’ve had a less then perfect experience at total tools
