I no longer work at the Pharmacy.

**Genny** · 02-14-2010, 10:59 PM

I worked there for 3 weeks. I hated going each and every day, but I told myself I'd do it because it paid good money. BUT....the pharmacist (who has known my mom for 20 yrs) has got to be one of the most rudest and unthoughtful people. I learned he is VERY rude to his customers, he makes the other employees cry by yelling at them and he brings his dog inside the pharmacy EVERY day and lets it drool and slobber on EVERYTHING and anytime you sit down in a chair dog hair gets ALL over you. I wouldn't normally complain about a dog-I love dogs-we have 8-but I guess it's the fact that it's his dog... He was very rude on several different occasions to me when I think he could have just said it in a nice way. I don't wanna go into detail about the things he said, but every day he had some sarcastic remark about something that I was doing. He wanted me to stay over a few hours one day and I told him I couldn't that I had to be at Chickfila at 4 and he said that he couldn't work around Chickfila's schedule that they would have to work around his. I understand he needed me to work and it would probably be easier for Chickfila if I told them when/what times I could work so I could work at the Pharmacy when he needed me to, but he was also very rude about that and I feel as if he could have been nicer about it; especially since he's known my mother for so long. Anyways after he told me that I called him the next day and thanked him for the job and told him I appreciated it but that I guess I have decided to find me another job. He called my mom later and was very ugly to her about it. I just didn't wanna work there anymore. It had got to where I dreaded going to work because I hated hearing his mouth run 5 hours a day almost every day of the week. I don't think anyone should have to work anywhere if they hate it. I understand some people have jobs that they don't like and they have to deal with it because they have no other choice, but since I did have a choice I decided to quit, so I did. I am right now looking for another job.. I'm gonna continue to work at Chickfila 2-3 nights a week and also find me another job that will very hopefully let me off by 2 ;] So we'll see....

You did the right thing. There are better jobs, with better bosses out there, and you will find the right one for you.

Yea, I mean I just hated going and he was just so rude. I don't understand why he was so ugly-he had always been a very nice person when ever I was around him (which wasn't often) but my mom use to babysit his kid for him years ago and when ever I saw him then he was always really nice. I don't want any of you to think that I just gave up on it and I'm not trying because I really am and I really wanna work-I don't wanna sit around and not work. I just don't think that job was the right one for me cause I was so unhappy while I was there.

I'd report him to the board of health. While jobs are at a premium lately, working in a hostile environment is so stressful. I know, I worked for lawyers for 12 years and I now work in retail. Talk about stress. You did the right thing. I'd apply for unemployment benefits and tell them about the hostile environment. It's worth a try and you're gonna need money to get by.

Genny, I'm glad you did what you had to and quit. You did what was right for you and that's all that mattered. I do hope the other employees he's so rude to up and leave as well, if he's that rude then he needs a taste of his own medicine (No pun intended

). It's certainly not easy to get a job you absolutely hate, trust me I know. My first job was the worst and I was so unhappy with it, my bosses were so rude and I lasted there for about 3 months for the summer. It is only a seasonal job at an amusement park but I was just so sick of the rude guests and bosses. I have since found something better, much better and I hope you're able to do the same. I wouldn't have stuck at the job longer then 3 weeks either, so kudos to you for giving it a try! I promise you'll eventually find something much better. Don't ever settle for less when you know you deserve to be treated better, I didn't and I found a great job.

Like Moosmom stated, try to apply for upemployment - you will probably be able to get it. Granted, I'm not stating getting a job will be a cakewalk but I'm sure you'll eventually find one. Jobs for younger people are pretty limited, but either way much luck to you! Please keep us upated on the situation!

What happened to putting in an application at Goodyear?

At least a job there would have a touch more of a future than anything in retail.

I agree with Grace. You will find another job & hopefully a more
normal work enviorment.

Genny I don't think the others were looking down on you, I think they were just saying you basically got rid of your unemployment perks from the government. But if anyone truly does they apparently don't know how bad going to a job you hate can be.

**Catty1** · 02-15-2010, 01:22 PM

Genny, I agree with Alysser...I know in Canada, a person needs a certain number of work weeks to apply for employment benefits. However, I still think you should report this fellow. And see if you can get a few more hours at Chickfila for now.

When you are feeling as bad as you are now, factual statements can seem to be cold and mean. But that's not what was meant, hon, I am sure of it.

I would like to say one thing, without anyone thinking I am being judgmental.

There may be times when you have to work a job you absolutely hate, just to survive. I spent several years in a job like that - I just had to suck it up, get out of bed every morning, spend a miserable 8+ hours in an environment I hated, around people I hated, doing a job I hated - because if I didn't, I wouldn't have a decent meal or a place to live or much of anything else. Why did I stay??? - because the pay was good, and at the time, there was nothing else available that could even touch what I was earning there. Eventually, the right job did come along, but it was a long road to get to it.

Sometimes you have no alternative - you have to take the bad to get the good.

ETA: I do agree that he should be reported to the health department. As far as it being a hostile environment in which to work, I don't think there's anything that can legally be done about that. It boils down to - if you don't like it, then leave - which is what you did.
