Dear manager of a certain Dartmouth Crossing clothing store with the bitchiest manager in the world: This is on behalf of the poor employee you so rudely yelled at, telling her she had to stay an extra hour you needed work done and then made fun of her with the cashier about what a pansy she was, the only work getting done was your nails… is that right? Incredibly unprofessional! This girl had previously helped us and I thought the service was amazing right up until you interfered and then tried to take over. You then proceeded to tell us about it being your time of the month, and a DM was in… so here it is lady. You are a bitch who should not be a manager. If I were an employee I would have quit! Power hungry bitch… oh, and while you were bitching about your duties, I guess you didn’t realize that I am also a manager for a larger retail company, and never on my life would I make fun of an employee, embarrass them, or talk to a complete stranger about my lack of tampons! Grow up! Seriously, everyone who works with this bitch, you are a great bunch and could do so much better, especially the girl I bitch on the behalf of! You deserve so much better! Good Luck! And to manager bitch… no words. Karma will bite your pompous ass! —Your Employees Are Not Slaves

euch.. Tommy Hilfiger by any chance? I worked there for a couple weeks, fuckin miserable.
Fuck off with the karma bullshit. It won’t be karma fucking her over it will be someone actually putting the cunt in her place.
Canned, that’s what Karma IS.
Also—you eat with that mouth? You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Don’t mince you’re words, canned. Say what you really think. Goodness me!
OB , seems all the real poster children for abortion end up as retail managers…by what we see here in bitchdom !
Speaking about retail
I have a question to all you folks who have worked in that.
WHy are cashiers not allowed to have a seat or a stool of some kind ?
I was in a store in the Darkside, at the crossing…really busy, which you have to expect at this time of year.
To be fair almost all the cashiers were open, but the lines were 4+ deep. As I stood there paying I realised the lines were still 4 + deep. So the workers weren’t actually making any progress, just holding their own.
Anyone standing there ringing in sales for I’m assuming a couple hours straight + to get to a designated ‘break time’ without really moving or having a place to rest must find it hard & IMO unnecessarily so.
Anyone have an answer that makes any sense ?
If you don’t have the intestinal fortitude it takes to have said something at the time, then you should report this kind of piss-poor treatment to the store’s head office. No employee deserves to be abused in public like that. This manager should be tossed out on her rude, very unprofessional ass.
No, that’s not karma. Karma is about attitude-contingent luck. But in reality people with bad attitudes get “what’s coming to them” not because of bad luck but because people don’t take kindly to assholes.
And, no I don’t use the word “cunt” around my mother or other people of importance or in public because I have a social filter. Not to mention this forum is for bitching, so I think swearing is a permitted means of communicating frustration. Might offend a few prudes but hopefully it’ll keep them enraged enough to distract them from their word-banning crusades.
7 uses of the word bitch in this bitch, must be some kind of record
I have employees and I would never EVER even dream of harassing them like that. Ever.
Rule number one in HR: confidentiality. You don’t say SHIT about an employee to another employee or customers/clients/business partners/etc….
Do people in management positions not realize they can get more done by being kind than cruel? Do you think an employee is going to want to go that extra mile after they’ve been humiliated and berated?
I had a supervisor try to pull that shit on me once. I confronted her then and there and said ” *** if you have something to say about me say it to ME and not the customers.”
It worked.
More, I would expect it’s because during the slow times, they would just sit there and take advantage of the seat rather than get up and engage the shopper.
just a guess… never worked retail… and never EVER want to
i always defend the hapless employee in this situation. it’s very liberating and you don’t even need to cuss. smile and remain calm and speak through clenched teeth
I prefer to see ‘karma’ manifest through the act of proper justice being carried out in the moment. I would have shut that bitch down; I’m not open to that experience and I would have made that clear to her. Then, in a case like this, I would have likely brought the incident up to her boss or head office. I hope you didn’t expect supportive comments because I think you failed this one, OB.

My name is Karma and I endorse this message, please expect a delay in responding to your complaint as there has been a rash of Karma requests on this site, especially at this Season of Goodwill.
Dear retail manager, overwhelming opinion is, you’re a CUNT.
Instead of waiting for karma to do something (which will be a very long wait), why don’t you do something like contacting head office with a complaint so they can do something.
It’s the old saying “If you don’t like something, tell us, if you like something, tell everyone”.
overuse of that word, today we’re featuring akitas http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-35RlWgpnsHo/Tlo0…
Yes report the person. Go to their website and do the right thing for the poor cashier.
OB, if you are truly appalled by her behaviour do the employee a favour … report the manager for her inappropriate behaviour … and don’t forget to pass on a few good words about the employee while doing so. Then you’ll be doing your part to ensure karma and this so-called manager meet sooner rather than later.
More: In one of my previous, non-retail jobs (in a factory) one day I had to work on a project that was very repetitive but which I could conceivably have sat down to do. So I found a chair and sat down to do it. Eventually the supervisor came by and told me I had to stand. I got the impression that it was because if he gave me the “sitting job,” it could be seen as favouritism. It’s stupid, but I wonder if no chairs for grocery clerks is the same thinking.
Shut the fuck up, I know you couldn’t do our job your to god dam stupid to be able to even follow the LAW! You have no idea what we get paid it is no where near enough for the shit we put up with on a daily basis and just so you know my pay check is not a hell of lot more then I was getting when I was making $11 an hour. We pay more into taxes then you could ever imagine.
Sounds like someone was shopping tommy hilfiger 🙂 My friend works there and that idiot of a manager makes the one on Devil Wears Prada look like a peach! Total nightmare!
My feet and back would killlllll when I worked as a cashier but I also need orthopedic insoles so it’s a little different. When I was in London, every grocery store we seemed to go into had chairs for all of the cashiers but they were also all realllly fat, slow and distant. I imagine sitting down would make a tired person even more tired.
I am a cashier, I don’t need a chair. It’s not that hard to stand for sometimes 4 hours at a time without a break. You are constantly moving anyway it’s not like you are just standing there.
Here’s a little tip if you are on your feet all day on a cement floor: support hose. Really.
I refuse to support hose. I’m married and 100% faithful. *glug*
artic on a bender?
copy and paste it more…
that’ll make it true.
Call head office.
I’ve been in that position before. As a student working my ass off in retail trying to make some spare scratch. And I’ve been treated like hell by these idiotic managers i can now buy and sell if i wanted to.
Karma is nice. Complaints are nicer.
OB, contact the store’s head office by phone and file an official complaint. Get that bitch fired…..ideally just before Christmas 🙂
Report the snatch to their head office. Demand action….i.e. get her fired in time for Christmas.
I think chairs for cashiers would give too much of a relaxed vibe for the managers. Instead of up and ready to help the customer, they’re sitting with the “yeah, what do you want?” attitude. It’s all about appearances. Standing is a form of showing respect.
Chairs for grocery cashiers would be a hinderance. Scanning and bagging would be difficult when sitting.
