Bar? Oh, you're talking about the baseboard.

[MrRoboto75]

just IRL people aren’t limited to only knowing what you look like.

Like people bother digging any deeper these days.

Today's edition of why I hate my job: that Hispanic supervisor that I hate? Start of day, she throws a ceramic piece at a trash can, it explodes off the rim, nearly spraying me with ceramic shards. I walk away to do my job standing somewhere else. A few minutes later, she finally gets around to cleaning it up, then looks at me and calls me a "pendejo". I don't know Spanish, but I'm pretty sure everyone knows what that means. I called her something roughly equivalent, then told the manager I was not going to put up with her crap, as well as explain what "pendejo" meant. Immediately, the manager sides completely with her, acts as if she did absolutely nothing at all, like she does every single time something like this happens. Sure, I probably should not have said anything, but she started it, and why else would I go to the manager if I had started it? But no, I'm always wrong in everything I do. I would have walked out then and there, but the manager held the door shut when I tried.

I spent the rest of the day putting a very large space buffer between me and her - good thing since one of the first things she did after the above incident was ram a cart filled with housewares into a rack filled with hangers(which I had placed as the buffer), knocking many to the floor, and of course did nothing to pick them up.


I still have to find the contact information for our Loss Prevention department, they'll be pretty interested to hear about how the manager has been coaching the pricers on how to minimize prices on stuff she or her minions want to buy, then stashes it for several days. I'm also still sitting on about 80 photographs of various safety violations, the majority of which are me trapped behind piles of stuff.

Jesus. Don't suppose the place has security cameras? If not I'd say break out the spycams to catch some of this shit on film... I mean, except for the whole "that's illegal" issue.

If this is part of a larger organization, (which it sounds like it is) this sounds like grounds to escalate above your immediate manager to the branch manager, or even higher, to corporate level complaints.

Cameras all around the place, actually. It's even that model of camera that's actually pretty hard to spot if you don't know what it looks like. Even I don't know where all of them are, and I do know what they look like.

Except the parking lot. There's only one camera I know of out there, and I think it only covers directly in front of the front door.

Believe me, I have every cause to do that.

As someone who works as part of that process on occasion, yes you should 100% bring that evidence to your regional manager, and sooner rather than later.

Call them, tell them what's happened, let them get the other sides, and when the guilty parties tell all their lies, then show them the photo evidence. Also, provide COPIES, not originals.

[Kagus]

Get it in motion so they grab the security tapes before they're junked.

TIL in Smash, Jigglypuff dies instantly when her shield is broken.

I was literally 0% to Death-ing a Jig by just landing Ganon's up-tilt, which is a guaranteed shield break if someone actually tries to block it.

[wierd]

If only all the pokemon would die that easily...

Akura as  your Hispanic friend I can tell you two things:

She called you the equivalent of asshole. But actually pendejo means not literally aashole, but an idiotic asshole, or simply a ruder version of idiot.

Second, I can teach you the nastier insults to trow back at her (only if it doesn't get you in trouble). Where is that coño de madre pendeja from?

[wierd]

In the US, he has to be VERY VERY careful, especially if he is a white male.

She, being a latina, is a kind of protected species. Using any kind of slur, especially one in spanish, is a great way to get terminated for racial insensitivity.  It does not matter if that punta is performing Santeria curses with chicken blood and slashing tires or not. 


The CORRECT action is to document all of her malign activity with as much hard evidence as possible, then submit it to the regional manager of that organization.

If he does ANYTHING ELSE he can potentially face legal recriminations.  For real.

[LordBaal]

Pero que carajos?! Eso es una mierda. How can it be she's allowed to insult him and he can't defend himself? Why a Hispanic woman has more rights, aren't all equal under the law?  It must the the democrats work! Hahahaha

In that case I could teach him back handed compliments or simply harmless, silly but frustrating things to say to her.

I'm aggravated that some one hides behind the lack of knowledge of a language to insult and despite another human being, specially if is using my mother language and is insulting my friend.

[wierd]

It's the inevitable side effect of liberal application of hatespeech laws.

There unfortunately *ARE* yokel trash that despise anyone that looks or talks differently from them, and they do need to be treated harshly. However, the converse of that protection, is that it enables bad behavior.  Like this.


How do you PROVE that you are not a racist ass, especially when she turns on the tear factory and says how horribad a person you are?  Simple-- you have to be fucking unimpeachable in your presentation, and document the shit out of her misbehavior.

That really is the only way.
