So I work at a grocery store as a cashier. We have several managers who work here but I’m focusing on one we’ll call Becky.
Becky isn’t the best manager. She is rude to customers and she spends most of her time on her phone. She doesn’t help the cashiers as much as the other managers.
We have a very rocky relationship. Now we need assistance from managers to perform certain tasks such as overrides and refunds. Every time that I need assistance, she ignores me, which causes me to wait for her and causes customers to complain.
One time I waited 20 minutes for her when she was at the front. She never sends me on breaks. This sounds bad enough but it gets a little worse. I doubt that I’m the only one but I’ve seen multiple cashiers who do nothing but goof off and she says nothing to them. If fact, she plays along with them. When I needed assistance, I feel like the party pooper ruining the fun when I’m just trying to work at my job.
She doesn’t care of they do nothing and leave their register but the second that I leave my register to do something she wants to know what I’m doing. So basically I’m stuck doing all the work while they’re getting paid to hang out with their friends.
Now in this store, cashiers sometimes do put back or return items that customers don’t want anymore and I’d rather do that when she’s working simply because I don’t want to deal with her. Why would I want to work with a manager who ignores me half the time?
Whenever the store gets busy, more cashiers open their registers, including me, which makes sense but the only person she ever asks to help is me. Also, she has asked me multiple times if I can stay longer to help with closing the store and I typically say no. This wouldn’t be a problem because there’s usually enough closing cashiers, but she shames me for not staying, even though I work 8 hours a day almost everyday. I say no because 1 if I stay longer I would be working overtime, which the owner doesn’t allow.
So, one day she asked ne to help as usually and I said no. Of course she got mad, but I didn’t care. I haven’t been fired and I don’t think I’m going to get fired so?
Is she intentionally doing this to make me quit?
