AAARRRGGH! More Mr. Ditsy issues today. It may be hard to understand most of the story unless you're at least familiar with working in retail, but I'll tell it anyway.

I had to ring the doorbell so I could be let in this morning, and he came and unlocked the door for me. Before I was even in the building he starts barking orders at me- "I need you to do this and that, and I need you to start with such-and-such, and you need to do it all this way..." blah blah blah. I'm like, dude, I'm already running late, can you at least wait until I put my stuff in my locker and clock in? So once I'm clocked in I get to work. But every time he even sees me walking by he has to stop and say something like "Hey what are you doing?" Duh, I'm doing what you told me to do, not that you needed to tell me, I already knew it needed to be done, and as I've been with the company five times longer than you have, I know how to do it. Chill! Ugh. So the morning continues, and I finish what he asked me to do, and I'm suppose to print and fill out some forms that need to be posted when the task was done. As I'm the one who did it, my name is suppose to be on it. So I typed my name into the forms and then printed them, and posted them. So after I post the forms and start on the next project, the moron stops me again and tells me it's policy to have the name written, not typed on the form. So he took the liberty to re-print the forms and wrote his OWN name on all of them and posted them. Therefore he took credit for all that work that I did. Plus, the policy does indeed say "write name" on the form, but it does not specifically say "with a pen". So it basically just means your name is suppose to be on it. Idiot. I lost my patience with him when he did that, and told him "Whatever" and walked off. Got to admit when my own manager came in later in the day, I worried he would complain to her about me and I'd be called to the office for a good talking to. Thankfully that didn't happen. But after I got back from lunch, he had the other cashier do a special project and left me up at the register alone for the rest of my shift. I can't help but think he did that out of spite. The cashier left up at the register is usually someone who doesn't know how to do anything else but cashier, or can't be trusted to do a good job at anything else. The others are considered more valuable and therefore "borrowed" to work on other things until they're needed at the register. So it's kind of an insult to be the only cashier at the registers for many hours when there's another one or two cashiers there. Yeah, he totally did that on purpose. I seriously hate that guy.
