“In high school, I worked part-time at a grocery store that couldn’t retain front-end staff and they didn’t understand why. The reason was this cashier who treated the younger staff really badly even though she had no authority (and nothing was ever done about complaints we’d file) just because she’s the long-standing staff.”
“I worked full-time hours because we were so short, and it became a thing where I was only ever at school or at work and that was it.
I called in for a shift one day when I was violently ill (never called in prior to this) and she answers the phone, refusing to hand it to my manager. She demanded I just tell her what I wanted and said she’d relay the message. This went on for a while until I finally broke and told her and she said, ‘No, I don’t accept that.’
I told her, ‘OK, well then I’m never coming back in, good luck,’ and hung up on her. Went back to hand in my shirt the next week. I was told management thought I was in the wrong and that I had been rude to her.”
