Okay so I love what I do, I have been in retail for almost 4 years and I'm 21 so that's a big deal to me. I work at a party store. I was having an overwhelming day, the idle I was working in that day was getting super busy and this woman interrupted 3 customers ahead of her, then when I finally got to her she snapped at me with the numbers and then took off, when I stopped her and asked for the size she needed she told me 9 and I said that wasn't helpful because it we were running out of costumes and she didn't even look at the wall to see if we had it in the size she needed, she immediately stormed off and started yelling at my boss, who then came over to my isle and yelled at me in front of about 30 people.
I tried my best to hold it together but then I couldn't do it. I went into the back room and cried for 10 minutes because I had never been that humiliated at a work place before. I then pulled myself together and went back out on the floor and tried waiting till by lunch to continue crying in my car and call my husband. On my way out my boss who yelled at me stopped me and said she was sorry for yelling at me but she still meant every word she said and she said if it came down to it she wouldn't have changed how she handled it and that I don't need to be crying at work. Her exact words were that I need to "straighten up and pull it together." that there was to be no crying at work. I continued out to my car and cried and called my husband 7 times and no answer, he was asleep and I that alone made me want to cry even more than before... I pulled it together and went back to work.
Then today I went to work and I had been sick the past 3 days and I spent 10 minutes puking in the bathroom and my supervisor heard someone and thought it was my co worker Brittany and told her she heard her puking and to go home, she then proceeded to say that it was her and went home, I then told my boss that I had been puking all night this morning and she felt bad and told the store manager, she store manager then said oh well and made me stay my whole shift. Then told my other manager that she didn't believe it was me and that I was just trying to go home, I was so upset I began to shake I was so mad about it. I felt a little better after lunch with a co-worker who I've known since 6th grade and vented to about everything and had some soup, I then went back to work and I continued working. About 3/4 the way through my shift I had a lady come up from behind me and grab my arm and tug me around to face her. My first reaction was to hit her because that was usually the first thing my brother did to me when I would run away before the beating began, I apologized for scaring her that I just didn't know who it was she apologized to me for grabbing my arm. After I got done helping her I went on my break and cried in my car because it made me have flash backs of my brother beating me as a child till I couldn't move. My parents always told me to suck it up.
Like I said- I like what I do but I don't like my bosses....
If anyone can help me, please do....
