clayhornikNeed to vent moment before going to bed: Right now I hate my job. I got snapped at by a manager from another store. I was having stomach problems and wasn't able to make a phone call when they needed me to. She was snappish with one of the part timers and snotty with me when I finally contacted her.
Then a woman came into the store and complained about our porn section. Like Maxim and Stuff and FHM. For those unfamiliar, these magazines are to actual porn as Hooters is to an actual stripper club. Customers nonverbally supported me on the way out, but I just stood there and took it because the customer is always right. Knowing our district manager, she'll probably send the woman a gift certificate- she does that. Mean people are rewarded and hard workers are crapped upon. Life lessons, eh?
I thought that the gawdawful bowing and scraping was over when I left my last store- privately owned, lots of "we're personal friends of the owner" BS.
I'm probably violating some corporate code by saying some of this stuff but I haven't identified THE COMPANY by name in my LJ, to the best of my knowledge, and besides if they fired me, it would be a lovely logic loop- we're punishing you for being angry at being metaphorically spit on.
