I would like to start this out by just saying I AM FUCKING PISSED!!!
Where should i start, how about tonight at 5pm when i started work.
I went in and everything was cool to start off with. I clocked in and went
into the operators booth to check the nights schedule to see where they had
placed me for the night, it was toys/seasonal which is fine..
I was in my department no more than say 20 minutes when the recovery
person, lets call her "Eilene" called me and told me to come back to the
returns area that she wanted me to do a cart of housewares. So after
hearing this i asked her who wa sin housewares (figuring they probably
wouldnt be in untill 7pm anyways) and what i got was, "theres no on in yet,
you just need to do the cart" and it was sarcastic as hell..
So i was like okay, whatever i will blow this off, and so i went and got the
cart and put the stuff away, no problem, was big items took like 5 minutes
or so...i was just wondering why she just didnt do them herself, like i said
only took 5 mins or so.. but whatever went along my way and went to my
department an d started zoning...
Well lets say maybe a good hour or so went by and then while i was helping
a guest i guess they paged me overhead to go get some returns or something,
i didnt really pay attention too much since i was helping someone.. well
about 5 minutes later eilene comes strolling bye and tells me that she has
been paging me over head and why wasnt i answering, and there was a cart
of returnsd in the back for me. I didnt hear them paging me i was helping
someone, DUH (some of us actually do work). So i told her i would go get it
when i was ready for it.. (i wanted to finish doing the isle i was working on..
)
Well several minutes later she walked by and asked me if i had got the
returns yet, i told her no i had not and again that i would get them in a few
when i was ready for them. and at this point i am thinking to myself, if its
sooo important to get them out on the floor right away why the hell doesnt
she just bring the cart over instead of walking by and telling me theres one
back there??? when i got there to get it there was no cart anyways, just
some crap in the train.
Again i blow this shit off and am kinda mad, but do not really do anything
except talk to a couple of my co-workers on the sales floor with me...
Now its the end of the evening pretty much and i am pretty much done with
my department, theres a few touch ups to be made but not a hell of a lot, the
stores closed and i decide to go up front to guest service to collect my
returns to get done with them.... Theres nothing there so eilene tells me that
theres some in the back returns area for me, so i start heading back there...
she stops me and says since i am heading back that way would i take a
couple of items back with me... well a couple of items end up being 6 huge
boxes so i stuff them all in a cart and take them back to thew returns center
and drop them off and get my toys/seasonal returns.
when i am all done with my returns i got from the back i take a cart full of
all the stray items i have collected throughout the night back to the returns
area, and this is pretty much the final thing that started the whole thing off...
Eilene snaps at me as soon as i get in there saying why dis i just dump the
cart back there when she asked me to put the stuff out on the sales floor?
(WHAT!!?!?!?!? wait a fricking minute here, she ONLY asked me to bring
them back to the returns area since i was going back there....) so i said what
are you talking about you just asked me to bring them back here...and so she
said well put them out on the floor (in a snippy ass attitude and voice). well
that pretty much did it for me i was pissed.. so on the way out i was cussing
and bitching and said rather loudly that i am sick of this fucking shit.. as i
left with the cart of returns.
well after putting them out and bitching a little with my fellow team
members i went back to touching up my own department and things...
After a bit when i was done with everything i started to go help help some
co workers get there stuff done and the team leader on duty for the evening,
well call him "Mark" came by and saidf that i needed to go finish the back
end caps and do seasonal....(very snippey like i might add) so i was like
okay... another one being a dick, and this guy is usually pretty layed back
and cool about everything......
Well i didnt think much of it, just thought maybe he was a bit stressed or
something, so i went through the whole department and straightened the
end caps a bit more and toughed up a few things in seasonal, and then again
went to helkp out a co worker and he came by again and was really snippey
and was just really fucking nit picky about things and was in what seemed
to be a really bad mood.
At this point i dint know what the hell was going on in the place, but figured
fuck it, whatever i will go to a bar and get a beer and relax and hoipefully
tomorrow will be better.
At 12am which is when i leave because that as late as i stay because i
usually have to take my wife to work in the mornings...
I went and clocked out and went up to the front door where mark was at
and asked to be let out and on the way out he told me that he had had 4
complaints about me this week so far and that tonight he was told i was
having a really sarcastic attitude and all that kinda shit...
So i just kinda went off and told him all the shit i had been thinking the
whole night that its really bullshit that the recovery people are passing ALL
the work to other people, and told him about what had happened that night
with eilene, and that i was sick of all the shit and that i would probably be
calling the distric office in the morning because i do not feel that anything
cal/will be done at a store level. also told him that i think its bullshit
because i already tried to get transfered to another store and that the TRL
had told the other stores TRL that i had an attitude problem and guest
problems... and he tried to make it like it was not an appropriate topic...
I watched the new Austin Powers movie this weekend, and they had a few
scenes in it that had Jerry Springer in it, and following the guidlines from
both
My Final thought is Simply this "Why Must I Be Surrounded By Idiots?!"
