Work V: Bitchgirl Revealed
May. 19th, 2005 11:16 pm
Bitchgirl showed up today with a handful of stapled sheets. So she was supposed to be my "trainer" and needed to check off that I learned all of these things on her 7-page checklist. Hmm....
I "confronted" (not in a confrontational way) bitchgirl about her bossiness, and she revealed that she had been a manager at McD's for a few years...
That might explain a lot.
Then I kinda ended up yelling at my supervisor a bit during the last part of my shift - she wanted me on the till and I was explaining that my insistance of not doing it and reluctance to do so is not about a lack of practice or lack of knowledge of how to do it - it's a refusal to take orders from someone whom I don't know and is a totally random person off the street. I can handle a few individuals giving me orders - parents, bf, friends, supervisor, doctor, etc. - but these are people I know and trust. In any event, she eventually dropped the case.
*sigh*
The Hallmark store where![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
siromygod is working might still hire for the summer. I'm so working there instead if I can.
Oh!
Edit:
...and bitchgirl was reading off the checklist something about aggressively getting customers and stuff (like, you know, aggressively trying to get their attention when they're next in line). Okay okay what's with the strong wording? :P
...and again, bitchgirl was reading off the checklist something about 'suggestive selling' like suggesting that people buy a donut with their drink or 'would you like to upgrade to a combo' crap - I mean I know all retail and service businesses try to do that but it really really pisses me off - can't we just leave people alone to get what they want and stop just trying to get money for yourself!??!?!?!?!? If someone wants to supersize their meal at McD's, LET THEM DO THAT ONLY IF THEY FREAKING WANT TO! It's not like people don't know the option exists, YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO MILK THEIR MONEY OUT OF THEM!!!! Call me an idealist, but business shouldn't be about selling people what they DON'T want (or what is bad for them) so that YOU can make more money! Business is about satisfying people's wants and needs - not about your own wealth!
Edit again:
I was telling bitchgirl how I was rather enjoying cleaning the hot cappuccino/chocolate machine (since it was a machine and not a human), while she was showing me how to do it, so she was like, "well, since you like working with machines so much, why don't you clean the other machine too?" Later, she got me cleaning the coffee makers which I thoroughly enjoyed also. Anyway....
