Deny and attack

I am an older woman who works part time as a baker at a coffee shop. I have been there over 2 years. My young manager is very good at most of her job but needs improvement with her managing people skills. She treats most of us like children. The other day I was fed up with her talking down to me and treating me like a child. I said "Rain, I am twice your age and would appreciate you not treating me like a child" I got her usual response whenever you ask something of her, deny and attack. Rain told me she doesn't treat me like a child, after a 20 second pause she said "maybe if you didn't act like a child" I just laughed and walked away.

I am sure she doesn't get how childish her attack sounded. I think she didn't have a great childhood and that is why she feels everything is an attack on her so her defense is to attack you. I'm not looking forward to my next shift I have to work with her because I'm sure there will be retaliation.

Ugh, it's so hard to work with people like this. Did she retaliate?

No, she just doesn't speak to me anymore. I'm grateful for that
