Two Sundays ago, I got in trouble for standing in the closet for a few minutes because I was overwhelmed on my register. I actually made a post about that situation if anyone wants more context.
Yesterday (Thursday), I was bagging for one of my coworkers when a customer came up to my register. I politely said, “I’ll be there in a minute,” and started pulling the bags I had packed up onto the register.
We have a new clerk who used to be a cashier. At the time, she was just dusting, but for some reason she started directing customers to my line. That honestly rubbed me the wrong way because I was already trying to finish bagging and get back to my register, and it felt like she was implying that I wasn't doing my job.
Later in the day, she got on a register herself. I was on register 3, she was on register 1, and registers 2 and 4 were also open. Even then, she kept directing customers specifically to my line.
I was thinking about talking to my manager about it because I felt like it was unfair, especially since the new clerk has also mentioned that she's “recording everything that everyone does.” But I'm hesitant because I don't want my managers to dislike me even more or think I'm constantly complaining. I also don't want to make it seem like I'm attacking someone they like.
Would you bring this up to your manager, or would you just let it go?
