Couldn't think of a title, so that'll do.
Ok, I'm pisssed off and I am feeling in the need of a rant. Or I'll just bottle it up like those people you see on CNN who've suddenly snapped after years and years of bottling up their anger and just going out on a random shooting spree at the local golf club...and I do live near a couple of golf courses...
Why do managers seem to think people (people being me) can do the jobs of three people?
Why? Why are managers so retarded? I mean for Christ’s sake to even become a manager you need a bloody degree. I thought to get a degree you needed to have at least the slightest glimpse of intelligence.
But nooooooooo, as soon as they become managers it's all about "the good of the business"
HELLO! I've been working there for less than a year, I'm NOT fully trained yet and you expect me to run the lab, train the Saturday lass, fix the fu**ing processor (the machine that turns films into negatives) get out work on time when it's not physically possible?! Is it really so hard to ask me for a quote when taking in stuff on the hour? "Oo are you ok on the hour Nicola?" I would be if you told me what you wanted to bring in instead of throwing it into my face expecting the imfu**ingpossible.
And as well as that you want me to clean the floor? Granted I turned it yellow when I flooded the place with chemicals. But it's been like that for over a week, it's had pure bleach on it. There’s no way in hell is that going back to it's original color love. And if you're so worried about the Area Manager Twatmaster seeing it, DON'T BRING HIM INTO THE BLOODY MINI LAB!
********
Neighbors. No not the crappy soap on BBC1. My neighbors, can't you see that when you're standing in the street screaming on the top of your voice that you hate your daughter and calling her every name under the sun that you are not only waking me up, but making a utter twaat of yourself?
And if the police run into your house after your dick of a boyfriend and he runs off, can't you see it's obvious he's done something wrong otherwise he wouldn't run away.

That spak on the Lottery advert is still pisssing me off.
Someone smack her. Please.

No replies to my texts. How rude.

I haven't been out since Saturday night. This is shameful for someone of my age. I should be out now, but instead I'm sat here ranting on about stuff to a bunch of complete strangers.
I have no life.

When I worked at a videogame shop (not Game, I never had any trouble off them - think of a shop with a similar name to them though), I had a real Hitler of a manager.
Examples:
Manager makes a 10p mistake on the tills - can't figure out where he's done it - blames all other staff, except his lovely friend the deputy manager. Therefore, in his eyes, all other staff in store are F-ing Pritt-sticks (you know what I mean) Plus, we're kept in store for two hours, thus costing the shop more wages, over 10p.
Manager takes £10 out the till to get some stationary stuff from a shop around the corner. The manager gives me the money, says what he wants, I promptly return with the reciept and change. Manager then decides to try and be clever, and cocksup putting the change back into the till - a process which even a complete retard could do. But no, we have to stay behind for ages, manager insists its everyone elses fault, until we prove to him he was in the wrong, he doesn't apologise for his repeated-swearing at us, we go home late again.
I go out on break, whilst I'm leaving the store, a bunch of kids obviously of one of the rougher areas of Cardiff, enter the shop. As I come back, they wave a PS2 in my face and say "This is mine". I shrug my shoulders - after all, 1 vs 5 isn't really a fair match, and I'm not gonna get hurt over a stupid games console. I find out that these kids had jumped up on the till and knicked a PS2 right infront of another member of staff who COULD have prevented it, but just stared. We all get telling off from the manager. He claims we should have grabbed them and assaulted them...yeah, like I'm getting a criminal record over a PS2!
The same kids come in on a day off of mine, open the door to the shop window - right infront of that other same member of staff, take out a GameCube and walk out. That's right, that other member of staff just stared. We all get a telling off and get suspected of conspiring to steal. How come he still works there?
There are two tills in the shop, the manager expected 3 of us to serve on them. Got frustrated when 3 of us served on them. Still expected 3 of us to serve on them. Therefore, the third one - normally me, was too slow for him for he had to wait for a till draw to close.
These are just a few of the examples of what the manager of that chain was like. He only got the job as he used to manage another store in the same company. And the interviewers said the other applicants had as much chance as him in getting the job - my backside! He didn't even try for the job! He just sat there!

My manager is a really nasty woman.
I have only worked in the kitchens for two nights (I'm working again tonight actually - damn!) On my first night (We are meant to get two nights full training) she starts yelling at me because I didn't know where a certain pan went. Erm, Hello, it is a huge restaurant kitchen with like 5,000 pans and stuff. To top it all off she has her bloody 6 year old daughter running around the kitchen playing hide and seek. I have to carry about 50 plates from one side of the kitchen to the other (its about 40 meters long). She runs into my legs and I get told off for not watching where I am going by the bloody manager.
Managers, quite frankly, are blithering idiots. The only reason I work there is the money. Quite simply.
Anyway Nic, just get an AK-47 and climb a clock tower. Do it the American way!

Managers:
"See these keys? That's responsibility".
Dillholes.

Where do you work Mystique?
In a cinema jobs i found it was easier to pretend to be incompetent. This way I avoided all the old regulars getting all shirty about 'the new guy' and I never got asked to do the tills etc.
I just showed people to their seat and watched movies.
Trying to show you're intelligent to retards isn't worth it.

Man, I worked as one of them for abut two weeks. How could you stand the continuous popcorn being thrown at your head?
Not where I worked. I ruled. I had then all where I wanted them. It rocked.
