Dad shows up to 22-year-old's retail shift, demands manager move him from closing shifts: 'He knows how tiring night shifts can be'

A retail employee at an outdoor sports store was left feeling humiliated when his father stopped by at work one day. He had enjoyed his job for almost two years and was especially grateful for the fact that his shifts were flexible, as he had proven himself to be a trustworthy worker.

Things changed one day when a coworker informed him that his dad was on the shop floor as he was helping a customer. He realized that he was speaking to his manager, and it transpired that he was trying to convince him that the closing shifts that he worked on Thursdays and Fridays were too late for him.

The dad hadn't discussed this with his son beforehand, and his supervisor was worried that something difficult was happening at home. Despite the employee explaining that he did not appreciate this gesture, his father didn't think he had done anything wrong.
