Hiiii i am 20 working in a retail store. A new trainee we got made a bunch of mistakes during a shift like scanning items twice and forgetting to give changeđź’€. When customers complained she blamed me even though i was on another register. I told the manager what actually happened because i didnt wanna to get in trouble for her mistakes. Now my trainee hates me lol. AITAH? (i feel like as adults even tho shes new she should get the blaim for it since this would make me look bad)
Aitah for getting our trainee into problems

Are you supposed to be training her? Trainees make mistakes, but she shouldn’t be blaming you. She needs more supervision before being on a register alone.
NTA. She messed up, blamed you, and got caught. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 🤷‍♀️
esh I think. if she’s new and you’re her trainer you should be doing exactly that – training her! she shouldn’t be blaming you to the customer ofc since it was her mistake, but it doesn’t sound like you’re really helping her all that much
Lol, NTA (Not The Asshole) at all bro. We all got to face the music for our own slip-ups. She was quick to put u under the bus, she gotta learn how it works in the real world. Good for u standing ur ground, keep doing u 💪🔥🔥.
NTA – Had a coworker like this who “forgot” to charge for add-ons and blamed me. Joke’s on her, the cameras don’t lie..
Doesn’t sound like she is gonna last long. Don’t stress about it
Info:
Are you responsible to oversee the new hire in any capacity on the floor? Or was she just dumped by a manager and said go
If you’re in charge of her as you say in comments, then you’re technically responsible for when she messes up. That’s kind of how training goes. If you need help training her, tell the manager that.
