You told me there were a lot of clothes to put away in fashion so you went to get them. I assumed that while I finished cleaning what I was assigned earlier, you would start doing the returns. But no, you decided to stand there fiddling your thumbs. So, when I found you standing next to a pile of clothes, I figured maybe if I started cleaning up, you would get the hint. Guess not. You decided to stand there while I was cleaning and complain about how annoying cleaning is. And then you thought maybe it was a good idea to go flirt with a couple of guys about 15 minutes before closing, while I was still tidying up. Thanks for the help, bitch. If I were a manager, I would fire your ass. —Actually Working

So you need to tell the manager so they can fire her ass.
Or, well, at least monitor the situation and then fire if no improvement.
Next time, try saying something to her along the lines of: I’m not the only on here capable of working, some help would be nice.
Jesus H. Christ – why the fuck didn’t you say something instead of all that ‘hint-hint’ bullshit? Four words could have done it – ‘A LITTLE HELP HERE?’ Stop being such a pussy and spell it out, sweetcakes.
If you weren’t so spinless and had even somewhat of a backbone you would have said something right then and there.
You should have said something TO HER. And then to her manager.
Bimbos have one job. And that is to jump up and down and giggle until the rest of the world tells them to stop. To have to rely on one of them to provide actual results in real-world scenarios is a miserable fate.. And trust me, it will start to reflect on you.
Sorry to be a bitch but i’ve worked with enough airheads in my day to know the best thing you can do is ensure that they’re tossed as quickly as possible. They’re useless.
A simple “Do you mind helping me do this so we can all be done quicker?” works wonders, OP. If they say no, you mention to the manager “I would be able to get this other thing done if I had more help with this thing.” I guess that’s why I was promoted to a supervisor at my last job, I can passive-aggressively get shit done while letting everyone know who the lazy fucktards are ;D
speaking of work, this is interesting. check out the comments

screw it… torch the fucking place.
that’ll teach em.
bonus points if you start by lighting all the exits ablaze simultaneously as you leave early.
Retail makes me laugh!!!
I worked a retail job once, part time while I was going to school.. Never a-fucking-gain. What a depressing atmosphere, everyone always seems pissed off, uptight, or downright miserable.
yep, the politics can be damn vicious in retail.
listen to what the OB wrote “I did a whole bunch of things, expecting you to read my mind and do the other things…” like wtf bitch? you need to be friendly and communicate a lot more.
I hate passive aggresive people way more than lazy or stupid people. You could have solved your problem, but instead you fume and write a bitch about it? If something bothers you, speak up or fuck off.
There is a certain amount of honesty to working with a group of mechanics that are quick to cuss and swear and get in your face if they are mad. I hate the way woman will stew and brew and never once share what is on their mind.
OP, do you job. Who cares what the other retail-drone is doing.
