i fear my wife is been bullied at work

+1 for the letter of grievance to HR, if you can get another member of staff to also send a letter about any unfair treatment to themselves or another employee then its pretty much an immediate suspension and review
 
One thing you can do is try your best to cheer your wife up everyday if it seems its getting to her.

Obviously as many, many people have said get it down on record and perhaps ask to see HR face-to-face if this 'investigation' continues with her side & record of grievances about this stand-in.
 
What evidence does the manageress have that she didn't lock the doors?

Also, it might be a good idea for you to research Employment law and various associations that are there to help people who are being bullied at work as it's against most codes of practise that companies are required to join.
 
I had a similar problem in work and was being treated unfairly in comparison to other guys at work. It got to the point where I was coming home in a foul mood and I was either going to do/say something stupid or I had to get it sorted out.

I documented a few recent incidents or times when my boss contradicted himself by telling me I had done things wrong when the guy next to me had been doing the same but was not pulled about it. People getting home early when their work was finished but me always having to stay on.

I asked for a meeting and took in a letter that I had prepared so I could look at it for reference, I didn't want to forget anything + it showed that I had been taking notes of incidents. After reading it all I said that if it wasn't sorted I would like to take things further and go down the official route.

It was sorted by the next day and not a peep has been said to me since. I tend to think that most managers will want to sort it in-store rather than taking it outside where they will be seen a silly for letting it get out of hand.

she opened the store the next day. Her word against my wife's!

I've just returned from picking her up, she was due to finish @ 7pm but I left the car park @ 7:44..another 44mins unpaid! She isn't allowed to lock up this week as she has a disciplinary this coming Friday, yet she kept her there for another 44 mins.:mad: raging is an understatement! I had the kids to pick up from karate at 8pm some 10 miles away.
 
This could get nasty. I left my last job due to this kind of thing and was eventually pushed although I had a new job lined up.

*Note down every incident even if it doesnt include you as if it gets nasty they can be used as example.

*Start looking for a new job. You dont get paid to spend 8hrs + a day being ridiculed and question.
