A new job, a raise. On the CSD now. It's not the customers so much, what the hell- I don't care what they return. I actually like alot of them! I can always find something good in someone and actually make the experience a half way pleasant one. I even get along with alot of the other employees- no friendships-but still-pleasantries, a smile and a joke. It's my coworkers at the desk I dislike. I'm left to do most of the work while they stand around and talk and discuss tattoos, baby pictures, and who got arrested last week.(Usually Baby's Daddy) Last week I came in and one of my coworkers left immediately because of 'ill health'. I had to work the desk by myself for five hours before someone else came in. Needless to say I got a bit frazzled trying to do it all. Answer phones, wait on customers, keeping track of who's who and what's what. What I'm having problems with is attitudes and just the overall lack of respect that I see from my co-workers and often management that should care what's happening. I couldn't believe one of my coworkers last week asking a customer "Well, WHY don't you want it?" Customer stood there like a cow and couldn't come up with a response-if I was spoken to like that I would call the manager and complain! Maybe I care too much-maybe I should learn to stand around with a bored look on my face, chew gum and talk trash all day. One 'girl' who I work with is just begging me to tell her off soon. So far she's informed me that she's been asked to return to being a cashier and she doesn't want to, but she knows I'm not thrilled with the job so I should inform management that I will go back to being a cashier and take her place! Another time she asked me what my raise was-she recieved a small increase and felt it was unfair and wanted to know what I was given. I didn't tell her the true figure-I told her I got less than her! But what is it her business? Yesterday I went to process a return and she jumped on my register. When I went to say something I got attitude and a response of "What? on MY register?" I couldn't reply in front of the customer but the customer had seen the interaction and wasn't happy about having to move his (heavy)merchandise to a different (farther) location for me to process even though she could've moved because she was just doing a bill payment! I was forced to take a register which is closer to the other tills which means customers see that till open and think they can also check out which they can, but that's not the point. It means then I'm stuck doing more cashier work than customer service while anywhere from two to five employees stand further up the desk and do absolute JACK. I'm not spoken to during the day by any of my coworkers and if I am it's strictly work related. They play games of taking longer breaks than necessary-dissapearing for great lengths of time-and often 'forgetting' when lunch is so they can go when they like-often putting me in the position where I can not leave work on time! Management seems to be depressed and can't be asked to correct the problem-HR is too busy on personal phonecalls to do anything-and Grand Poopah wants nothing but good news and store figures! Am I being a victim here because I take pride in my work? or am I the idiot in all this?
