Today, at work, I dropped two bottles of wine on the floor. Unbelievably, they both didn't break. That, however, did not stop my boss from taking a few points away on my evaluation. My $3 raise is now reduced to $0.25. FML

OP here! Just a follow up on what happened. Yesterday, about 2 weeks after the initial incident my regional manager came in. After explaining the situation and having them check my records(tardiness, productivity, etc.), he also was flabbergasted as to how I wasn't able to get the raise I deserved. He then dragged my boss off into his office to have a very stern conversation with my boss, he then announced to the whole staff that my boss would no longer be working at our store, and we'd have a new one transferring in very soon. I was overjoyed. But, not as much as when my RM pulled me off to the side again and told me that instead of getting the regular $3 raise, they'd triple it instead. I got a raise of about $10 which still keeps a bright smile on my face even while I write this. Thank you for all the comments! Although, I'm not sure why most of you thought I was female. :p

Well on the bright side he didn't dock you any pay. Either way it's absurd.

Wow. Sounds like your cheap and ungrateful boss was just looking for any reason.

I don't agree with your boss, but I can understand why he'd take points off, but it's still crazy he took enough off to make your raise go down that much. sorry op.

Could be worse, the bottles could have broken. I can't imagine what your boss would have done then.

I'm thinking you were never going to get a $3.00 raise. He was looking for any excuse to not give it to you.

This was my problem with working at Cracker Barrel. If you had one bad day in the six months, they often gave you a bad review for the "merit" based system.
