Had a horrible 8 hours with one of my bosses today. Everything I was doing I was doing by the book, but since she'd been anxious to get off just so she'd get on time for the early morning shift, she'd been pushing me around to do things faster, do something else, or let her take over. What's worse was that we were the only two in the deli dept., and we were on closing duties, so it was pure hell. We ended up behind on pulling products in and leaving 15 minutes past our shift time.
At least after she'd disappeared the big boss that runs the store gave me a pat on the back, a towel, and, "You must be one of the most courageous people closing with (her name). Eight hours and you didn't even show any sign of snapping. Not a lot of people can keep their cool that well."
Of course tomorrow I'll be working with her again, but not for closing and only for 6 hours, and with other coworkers, so she'll have other people to bother.
