Alright so of course most of you know I started working at a gas station..
Well..i'm sure almost everyone has this problem but yeah I have a severe temper so I need to know what to do to stay calm so that I don't get fired
Ugh I have one of the annoying coworkers that like to pretend to be a manager!!! He's always bossing me around telling me things that I already KNOW how to do! I've blown up on him like once and apologized for it and explained what happened but he STILL doesn't get it and he's driving me nuts!! I'm doing my best in trying to remain patient with him but when you have to be stuck in a little booth with the most annoying person on the planet you can only take so much until you finally lose your sanity and believe me..mine left a looong time ago!
Here's a couple of examples:
When I was in trying..it was my third day of training and the girl that was training me before had to move to a different store so the annoying coworker came in to take up for her. He knew that I pretty much already knew the basics and should only help me if I asked for help. Did he listen? NOOO! I was getting ready to drop some money in the safe (Because were not allowed to have 100.00 in our cash register, so if we get a 100.00 or a 50.00 we have to drop it into the safe) while I was doing this some customers were coming up so I handed the money to him and asked him nicely "Could you please drop this for me?" and as I was turning to take care of the customers he makes the snotty comment, "Well you have to learn how to do it sometime!!" This was like his 20th strike so finally I blew up, "I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DROP MONEY IN THE SAFE NOW WOULD YOU PLEASE DROP IT FOR ME!!!!!" He ended up throwing it on the counter and walked off.
Yesterday I had third shift which means I have to restock the doughnuts and clean off the grills. I got the doughnuts restocked and only 1 grill (there's 2) cleaned off because the other grill was way too high and I'm way too short and I couldn't find the foot stool. Well I was doing my paperwork when he came in and I'm serious I thought for sure he was going to grab a white glove or something because he was over there checking the grills for like 20 minutes!!! Then he asks, "Did you clean the grills?" and I told him, "Only one, the other one is just too high up I couldn't reach it." and he rolled his eyes at me!!!! I finished up my paperwork and left. Thank god I didn't have to stay anymore.
Then today, he came in after me of course. I can't leave until he comes in and finishes up his opening paperwork so I finished up the closing safe and asked if he could, his response, "I will when I feel like it!" Ok that just ticked me off considering my ride was already out front waiting for me to come out and go home. So with that said, I finished all I had to do, didn't wait for him and left.
Guys, I need some advice to keep my patience here, I've whined to the assistant manager (our main manager is on vacation) and they aren't doin squat about it (don't really think they can) so I really don't want to get fired, but I'm about ready to start spilling some curse words and yeah this is about to get bad. I've just about had it with this boy, and anyone that knows me, knows my patience don't last forever.
