His supervisor (DM) told me she’ll talk to him on my behalf but that he prolly don’t know what was going on. And she can’t guarantee he’ll talk to me as a result bc it’s ultimately his choice.
People told me just because he don’t talk to me don’t give me the right to not work or to cop an attitude,
All his superiors been with this franchise for at least as long as he had (15 years) and they’re sick of me trying to get up his ***. (My words, not theirs). They know him and like him really well.
They are hell bent on protecting him from me just like everyone at Arby’s protected that GM from me. But at Arby’s, I never knew what they were protecting her from. At McDonald’s, at least I understand a little. But I’m still so angry that I get called a creep and get told to back the hell off.

Ruby, I've been thinking about your post all day, and reading the other responses.
First, I want to say that I understand that you are angry that you are viewed as a creep when that is not your intention. I want you to know that I, and I'm sure others here, understand that it's not your intention to be creepy or make others uncomfortable.
It's not your fault that you have poor social skills/maneuvering, but unfortunately, it's still your responsibility to deal with.
You know that when you go back to work you need to:
1. Be polite all the time.
2. Don't clock out unauthorized or take breaks unauthorized. Accommodations only work if they are in such a way that they don't impact business. If you leave unexpectedly, you put others on the spot. When you are overwhelmed, take a deep breath. Then go tell your supervisor you are overwhelmed and need a break. Ask if you can take a break then come back. That will be less a hardship than leaving entirely.
3. If someone is rude to you then just ignore it. Someone else's rudeness is their problem. Just ignore it and be polite and move on with your day. I know that sounds hard, but often people are just responding based on what's going on in their own heads, not with anything to do with you. The customer that was rude about the medium fry? That had nothing to do with you. He was likely in a rush and just being rude because that's how he is.
I am sure the break was good for you as well as it got you some distance from the situation. But remember, your coworkers still remember how you misbehaved so they will be on guard and chilly to you at first. But if you behave yourself they will come around. Right now they view you as unsafe. What you need to do is show you can be reliable and polite.
You can do it. You have behaved yourself before.
