My POV:
On…read more02/13/2026, I received a text from a number, confirmed to be Hailee Bumgarner's, stating, "Stupid Hoe imagine being fired before you even start". I reported this to HR as retaliation. In the meantime, HR informed me that after more than a week of waiting, Hailee still would not provide proof of the alleged termination.
I will also be taking out a personal defamation suit against Hailee, since they company confirmed there is no record of my termination, and Hailee brought it upon herself to contact multiple employers to have me terminated based on false information.
This second section is more detailed, and provided a little more background about my experiences.
Manager Hailee Bumgamer, has demonstrated extremely unprofessional and inappropriate behavior since my time working at the Dunkin Franchise in Vinton. I don't believe her experience as a barista translate to her ability to effectively manage and run a store.
Hailee has shown to ignore many questionable behaviors and hygiene concerns within the store.
A more serious issue is the unknown "staff", who aren't actually employed at the store, that she invites to work on her behalf when she doesn't want to come in. This is completely dangerous and inappropriate. We don't know who these people are, and they're not scheduled. Another concerning issue is the behavior of her brother, and her willingness to ignore his behavior.
On many instances, nearly daily, the brother in question, Jahmar Brown, is given preferential treatment while maintaining the most customer complaints, and demonstrating poor work ethic. Hailee allows Jahmar to show up extendedly late to work, even hours late, without letting the previous shift know. Making them extend the rest of their shift to cover his. He's also allowed to not show up to work without telling anyone, and which Hailee will send one of her strange accomplices to fill in for him. On many occasions, Jahmar has made myself along with other staff members and customers feel extremely uncomfortable due to him pressuring us to answer him and Hailee's strange incest drama.
For hours of the shift he will go on, and even become upset, if you mention the fact that he's in an incestuous relationship. Even though he basically forces you to listen and answer his questions. He then reports you to Hailee based on your answer.
Hailee will blame you for his shortcomings, despite the entire store being covered in cameras. On one instance, she blamed us getting out late on me. Despite him arriving over 40 minutes late to his shift, unannounced. Additionally, she makes him count the drawers, despite not having a high school diploma, making it significantly harder for him to count basic change. A simple 5-10 task takes him nearly triple the amount of time, even with a calculator. When I brought this up to Hailee, along with my 4 years as a Starbucks manager, during which I handle cash deposits, safe withdrawals/deposits, and handled the registers, she told me I had an "attitude", and was trying to "hold him back". Even though according to her own statements, she claims he's very advance and knows how to perform all operations. I disproved this to her in-person, mentioning the fact that he didn't know we serve hot tea after several months of working at the store. She nor he knew what a common coffee drink known as a "redeye", was, and that was after this drink was specifically requested by a customer.
When myself and other employees bring Jahmar's consistently poor behavior up to her, she claims "she'll talk to him", to no avail. He'll abandon his shifts, and or come incredibly late, and still be scheduled more hours than people who have worked there longer than him, and who have better work ethic than him.
When I went to reported the most recent behavior to Hailee, she verbatim told me she "didn't want to hear about it!". When I asked for her manager's number , she claimed she wasn't able to give it out, or the number to customer service. Then changed her mind and said she would give me the customer service number, and instead ignored my texts and took me off the schedule for 2 weeks.
Hopefully they can explain this to a judge, because a manager sending threatening texts from their own number? Not very bright. :/
