So my co worker and I have been just working with 2 people at the store for about a month now. And we are doing very well covering hours and taking care of customers. We have told our bosses to please not hire anyone. But I come in today and they are doing interviews. Which means..we will be sharing sales between 3 rather than 2 and I have to deal with a new person..I hate new people!!!!! I know that sounds mean but I like the way things are. And so far they are interviewing all girls..we dont need another girl..if they absolutely have to hire..hire a guy!!! give me some eye candy or something...eventually i will get over this but right now i am not happy!!!!! 👿

hahaha!!

We're in the same boat. I mean, we need a 3rd for sure. 12 hour work days w/no breaks are getting a little old, but whoa, the money!

So they tell me the other day they tell me they found our 3rd. Not only a female (I hate other women, by default), but also somehow tied with our area manager. Fabulous!

Yeah the money is great. we only work 10 hour days and still get our hour lunch we just leave one at the store.

So i guess your new person will be getting special treatment huh. F that!!!! Then again I am pretty close to the owners where i work but I get treated like anyone else. So who knows.

point=missed

Just saying, it can burn you out a bit when you're working long shifts alone, often w/out breaks. We're really a 4 person store. Tuesday I did almost 1500 by myself on top of the usual customer service stuff that we do. I'm not whining. I'm just tired. And I don't want to work with my area manager's cousin's best friend's girlfriend, or whatever the eff she is.

DUDE!! this just happened to us as well. except we needed someone very badly, One girl has school, I have school, and our manager has a family at home. We just got a 4th 3 days ago, NO cell phone, or sales experience for that matter, an hes buddy buddy with our owner.
So, we can't get online, play cards, or even cuss anymore, cuz we are so scared we are going to offend him, and he will go run off and tell on us.

Hes a really interesting guy, but it just kinda sucks when you get new people cuz you feel you have to "fly right" lol

Not mean at all. Especially if you're at a kiosk. More than 2 people not counting managers? F that.

why is it that the BIG bosses think one thing and do things that they think is right but yet they are never in your store to know what is really going on, you try to tell them and talk to them about it but you know how that goes. then they turn around after they do what ever it is that they are going to do and say well that didn't work like we wanted it to.. duh 🤣 😡 👿

My owner is pretty cool. He actually listens to a well-rounded argument. Granted, I always back it up with examples and usually find a way to throw in complex math in order to confuse him and get my way, but it works at least half of the time.

They probably figure, more people in the store means you can help more people at the same time which means more in the pocket for them.
