On the topic of being heated hot heads, I have a cart attendant friend who gets pissed at the smallest inconvenience on the work place. He gets even more pissed if you make him do a bathroom check(which he never does)
He gets verbally pissed and yells at everyone and me. He's tried fucking fighting me twice in front of customers. First time was me and him were cashiering, I was in the lane in front of him, a guest was paying and I was waiting for the receipt to get around, I guess he was struggling to get a spider wrap off, and I glanced over just REAL quick, I didn't even look directly at him I was just waiting for the receipt to print and he throws a fit at me in front of his guest and mine. "ARE YOU JUST GONNA STAND THERE AND LOOK AT ME!? HELP ME!!!!!" and I was like "seriously dude?" and I took it off for him. I still talk to him about that day to this day and he doesn't give a fuck, just shows the kind of person he is lol he says he gives no fucks he's embarrassed me, himself, and traumatized his guest. I've debated talking to the GSTLs about him, but he's a friend. Guests have complained about his shitty Cart Attending attitude, too. Once to me personally, actually.
2nd time he was doing carts and it was a relatively lax night, but it was raining. I had to piss soooo bad and I was stuck at SCO, so I asked him if he could just watch it for literally no more than one minute. He says "sure!" and I run to the bathroom. I come back and he gets on my case because he counted how many seconds I was gone and it apparently amounted to a minute and 47 seconds and he tried to argue with me in front of everyone at SCO, so again I'm asking him "are you serious? Knock it off." and he's all "Sorry you said just a minute, you should of been back."
He's apologized for that one, but he swears he was just joking. Joking my fucking ass lol, you were pretty fuckin triggered.
He's called me a douche, an ass, and doesn't hold back against what he talks about to me. He tries to be loud. He'll be telling me a story about that time he smoked weed when I'm at SCO, and Ive got little kids and parents right next to me. He'll swear on the job and talk like it's normal and he can just do that in front of all these people. I remind him we're suppose to be professional, and he just gets on my case lol. Next time he tries to start something I'm definitely getting my GSA or GSTL in on this, I don't have anything written down to remember or to give specific incident reports, but I can tell them a lot about him lol.
He's trying to get a new job at PetSmart as a Cashier now LMAO. Just today right before my overnight shift it's been raining(5+ inches) and I see him and I say "Hey! What's up?" and he tells me he doesn't wanna hear it. And I'm kind of like "??? okay." and I guess for some stupid reason he thought I was gonna be a smart ass about the rain. He's such an attention whore, he makes his own shifts living hell because he's a big baby, and then expects sympathy from me especially even though I rarely ever get none. I was complaining about my schedule, and he calls me a big bitch. Fair enough, but when he complains about HIS schedule, I call him a lil baby or bitch and he gets upset lmao.
It's all really just banter, we're goodish friends from highschool, but he's god damn toxic to just work with some times. He needs to be sorted out and you know what? I'm not afraid to submit him into the hands of our GSTL because he personally has gotten guest complaints about him being super pissed, banging on carts, loudly putting them away(practically throwing them, making a big bang)
I'd expect him to do the same if I acted out like him because I'm kind of being a piece of shit at that point, but he has no reason to because I've always been the guy to not do that kind of stuff, and he has no reason to.
Sorry, post got long
TL;DR My friend at my store is a piece of shit once in a while and a super hot-head over the littlest things most of the time
