More on the job change
Well, not only now do I have a new job to do, I also have to train the replacement in my old job. Today I'm trying to check in a late delivery, my 'replacement' comes back and says "what do I do?"...his order was sitting there just waiting and looking bored, so I said "put your order away", to which he replied "I don't know where it all goes yet"...so I said "look for it. That's how you learn your department." Later on I had to help him place his second order, and try to tell him what items sell best and what doesn't. The previous order, he had help from the store manager (who has never orderd this department) so whenever I'd say "This sells, stock up" he would say "Well Kim said only to order 3"...3 is fine, but with a BOGO (buy one get one) sale, it's stupid to have an odd number in stock. So I told him that I've been in charge for the last 2 years so I think I'd know best what to order.

Oh, but don't you love it when people who are new to the job tell you how to do your job? I had my supervisor telling me that I had put a trolley in front of the fire exit, despite me telling him I was just going to the toilet then moving it (the toilet was 1 foot away). But then I wouldn't know where the fire exit, I've only been there for 4 years...
It's even better when the customers tell you how to do your job. We have one regular who I avoid when he's in. Every time I have to deal with him he says I'm doing it wrong then he tries to get something for free for his "troubles". I finally told him where to put in an application since he seems to think he can do my job better than I can...he was welcome to apply for it.
