I am working less hours and days due to some medical reasons. I am a diabetic and having a rough month with my sugars running high. My awesome doc has been trying a new dosages on me and so far so good, but wants me to cut my hours (less standing on my feet) and take care of my health until we get everything back under control. Thankfully my work is understanding.
Onto my story!
One of my stores regular SC comes over to me where I am stocking some shelves in H&B. She is an older somewhat bitchy woman, I just always smile and deal with her until she leaves, but this day she really pissed me off. This is what followed:
SC: where have you been, haven't seen you around!!
Me: I'm working less hours/days
SC: well you SHOULD be here more, I can't find my soap that I buy, you should be here every day!
Me: well ma'am I told you I cut my hours and the soap is where it always in, in the soap and lotions aisle.
SC: well I dont think it's right that you cut your hours, that's lazy! you need to be here to fill the shelves!
After that last remark, I saw red, seriously, I'm surprised flames didn't shoot out of my eyes.
So I give her my death glare (honestly, in my family we all have this death glare that we get when pushed too far, when this happens people know when to back off, this sc did not back off)
me: look, you're rude, I don't need you telling me what I need to do, it's none of YOUR business when I work and don't work. If you have a problem with that you can speak to my manager, now get lost and leave me alone.
The look on her face was cross between a cat butt face and serious shock like how dare I say anything back. She kind of sputtered at me, turned around and walked away.
She complained to my manager, he called me to the office and asked what happened, I started bawling and told him everything. I am very stressed out due to my health, having a smaller paycheck, and worrying about paying bills and he knows that. Thankfully he beliieved me, but did say that from now on if I have issues with SC to send them right to the service desk, he did get me to laugh at how he thought it was funny that I told her to get lost.
