Honestly guys I am so mad and tired it is ridiculous! I worked an eleven hour shift, and you know what I honestly had no problem with it until my last hour. I was fine, everything was beautiful except for the fact that I was alone practically, running a whole department myself, but no I could handle that. In fact I was handling that. Up until the last hour where I swear I was getting ready to murder someone. I’m used to getting called to my area, it’s a normal thing, I’m not used to getting called after just leaving my area for a few minutes. It was like not even five minutes went by and I was already getting called back. What the fuck? It was like that throughout the rest of my shift after my lunch. But again, I was dealing with it and working with what I could. A person can only take so much though. My last hour was the worst. I was getting paged non stop back to my area. At least five times in as little as 30 minutes. I say that because the time I spent in the area with the costumer would vary but the time I got away from the door and back to what I was doing was five minutes if not less, it was normally less I promise you. If it was just calling someone to help in my area it’d be one thing, but this was specifically my name being used to help the costumers out. It’s like, whoa, hold the fucking phone. I am actually not the only person working here. There is another girl here who is actually literally doing nothing at all while I’m working my ass off. I wasn’t mad at the person paging me, I was mad at the person asking for me to be paged. I wasn’t mad at the customers who were trying to get help, I was mad at the person who was getting the person to page me to help the costumer. She could have easily helped all of them. Everything we have on the floor is literally all we have. No we can’t check another store because no one has the ability to do so, sorry. This is the ONLY one we have if you don’t see it on the floor sorry. IT’S THAT SIMPLE! But no lets go call the associate who works this area who has a lot of shit she has to do and make her take care of the talking which might not be as long as it actually turned out for her. I am glad to help people, and I don’t mind being called to my area and everything. But with how many times I was called and how much I was getting done with all the pressure that is on my shoulders I was getting really tired of all of it. It’s not fair that I take all the hit while not getting enough pay to care and then everybody thinks that I’m okay with it as everyone else who works just like I do does nothing. If she pulls this stunt again tomorrow I am going to the store manager right off the bat and explain how I just can’t do it anymore. I can’t go any lower because I know that none of them will do anything about it if I talk to them. This is a big issue for me, it is effecting my work and my attitude and everything about me. You can’t run an area if you are constantly getting called somewhere, just like you can’t work if you are getting constantly called somewhere else. If you know what is up and know how to talk to someone then you fucking talk to them and tell them what is up don’t have someone else do it. I can handle the work, and I can handle the hours, what I can’t handle is the way people throw me around as if I am some kind of doll.
