got screamed at yesterday at work, wanted choc cake but make a good decision to wait and work it in my calories within next couple of days. I work at a groc store and need to leave at 1 but office girl takes advantage. cant get off register when someone doesn't show and she ignores me. I have elderly parents, have to leave but she doesn't care. I knocked on her door saying I was leaving, she screams GO THEN!. A min later comes out saying thanks for staying over. I SAID THANKS FOR BEING NO NICE ABOUT IT (sarcastic).

I have tried to be friends but no more, purely business. I had rather be respected. Next time I will just turn off my light and leave (will get yelled yet but get yelled at anyway) or call her to come to me on register 3 and say what do you want to do I have to leave.

People will really take advantage, use to let them and then eat.

    ok, just talked to my real boss and she said I did nothing wrong. She says the lady is psycho or something. Anyway I bought that choc cake but was able to just have a slice and a half. She told me to just tell her I had to leave like before not to turn off any light but it was good to get the validation especially from main boss. If lady screams again, I will say this is what I have been told to do!
    Wow, it was easier to eat wasn't it, no wonder we eat than deal but afterwards feels real good. She had already spoke to the boss before I did so she knew I was mad and meant business, trying to cover her butt but I am sure acting like I would not stay. I don't have to, my hours were over, stayed over another 10 and that is what I got. We will have a civil relationship from now on not buddy buddy, need some respect or else. Wow that felt good! If you get fired because you don't want to be disrespected, let it be! Thanks for listening to me vent. I know things like this make me eat when I don't deal.

    Good for you! Glad you were able to get a solution to your problem--or should I say the other woman's yelling problem. You don't deserve to be disrespected.
    You didn't eat away your troubles. That's great that you were able to have only a small part of the cake & stop. That is an accomplishment.

    I was also a cashier at WalMart and lost my job,because there was a bully,that was ALWAYS disrespectful to me,and her and the assistant manager were buddies. I was a cheerful,dedicated employee that got fired for not going out in snow and ice to push carts. I even had a dr's excuse(because of a shunt ) and the threat of falling on ice) but they ignored that. I contacted an attorney for discrimination against a disability,but they said it may take up to 2 years to fight and just couldn't handle it. I have learned that it is important to stand your ground,but sometimes is a blessing,when the place you work,treats you like that,and you move on.. Good for you.:smile:

    I just want to say how sorry I am that mangers treat workers so poorly. I would want to eat bad too!!! People are so toxic these days, is it any wonder we FIGHT off wanting to eat out of emotions?? For sure not. You are all wonderful...keep your chin up!:flowerforyou:

    I'm sorry this is happening to you. I can't believe that this woman wouldn't be more compassionate toward your situation, caring for elderly parents. I'm glad your real boss is aware of your situation and on your side. Good job on resisting the cake! I hope it gets better for you. Hugs.

    We do have a wonderful group here. Bren is strong,and that's what we need to push past toxic people and not let it damage our health journey. Difficult,YES,impossible,NO. I have discovered that staying healthy and not binging,due to emotional eating,takes great disipline .It's all about choices. Have a great weekend,lovely ladies. :smile:
