WTF for real ! ! !

Showed up for my shift and I got to be on express (1-8 items). I actually like it. Its fast and furious but usually, and I do mean USUALLY, they are all small orders. (Still people who can't count.) Its not too hard on the back and you get to see a lot of people and stay busy.

So, guess who's working with me? Yup some people that know how to work... and the Princess. So I haven't been there for very long and I hear her talking about wanting her break. Now, break time is usually half way through your shift. So if you have a five hour shift it will fall somewhere around the 2.5 hour time frame. But it is only two hours into her shift and she's asking for her break. She's told it isn't due yet.
Why not she asks.
Because you're working until 7:30.
No I'm not. Just till 6:30.
No, says head cashier. You're scheduled until 7:30.
Princess disagrees so Head cashier checks the computer and the hand written schedule and the board that tells where everyone is. Sure enough she's scheduled until 7:30. Well, she KNOWS they're lying, so, while she has a customer standing there, she goes and gets the schedule and takes it to her till. She stands there looking at it and was right ticked, (make that pissed) off that Head Cashier was right.



So she goes into sulk mode BIG TIME. So much so that a little later I notice someone at the Service desk and she asks for a manager. Head Cashier shows up at the same time and the customer proceeds to tell her about the VERY rude cashier and how she treated the groceries and how she was so miserable. Well doesn't the manager show up in time that the woman gets to tell him the story. At first he was saying that he'd 'counsel' her. (that's where you get talked to and told to behave.)


Uh, I think not. And luckily Head Cashier was against the counselling thing too. This is the same person that got us a low score with the Mystery Shopper. The same person that has left me high and dry while she putters around putting groceries away one at a time. The same person that stands there making the customers feel like they are putting her out by going through her register. The same person that shows up late, leaves early and wouldn't help you out unless threatened. The same person who will stand there with a face on her like she's been sucking lemons for hours.


As the evening wore on the sulking got worse. None of the other cashiers wanted to be near her, because she was moaning about how unfair it all is to her. Finally, the little snippet got sent home early, because she was so freaking miserable Head Cashier couldn't stand to look at her. As she left the office her body language let them know how put out she had been and how pissed she was. Which is amazing, considering she should have been grateful for getting to go home early. She's the one that wrote her schedule down wrong. They DID NOT have to let her go. I bet she carried that sulk home and I feel very sorry for the husband.
