Yesterday. I was assigned at A zone for a late shift. There were 3 co-works already there. One of them was M. They stood around the counter, blocked all registers. It would be difficult for me to join in and get sales here.
It was not fair, but I accept the fact. So I started to help customers on the floor and took them to the counter to get sales. It was OK for me to work harder to catch goal. Luckily, I got a big sale on the other counter (which also belong to my Department).
After 6p, It was getting slower. On A-zone, two of the co-workers off work (they were early shifts). Only M there with 2 registers opened. I went back to A-zone because I was assigned there and it was a good spot for sales.
M is not my close-friend. I knew her personality.
M told me, today she got headache and her sales score was low. Honestly and frankly, I said I had reached my goal. She surprised and mad. She said, Oh! then you should leave here and let me stay alone to ring. or could you ring for me?
I can't re-write exactly her words in English, it was what she means, not friendly. I smiled but I didn't respond her( So far I just got chance to stand there. I didn't want to take un-friendly requirement).
Not busy around 8p. I sew M talking with L, I sensed she was talking about me. I took a 15mins break to release stress however I felt. After Icame back, I got another sales. A lady I helped earlier came back to me. She said: I waited for you, you are so helpful.
Then Co-workers looked at me, one of them said: Yinzi oh you should share....
I didn't responded. So far I tried not to take it seriously. I try to smile, but not happy inside. It would be silly to explain the fact, my English is not good enough to "hit the nail on the head." I keep silence.
It was a bad affection she made. After a while, L was kidding me: Yinzi! I am not reach my goal yet! I will ring here, Please don't grab my sales!
I pretended peaceful on face, but I was hurt inside. I used to be very kind and helped her, but I she never return back. It was not the first time she require me to "Slow down" unfriendly. why she could always try to take advantage on me? Is the word "weakness" on my face? I am frustrated because I realized: Keep silence as a dumb is not the best way to avoid trouble, I need to say something promptly and smartly. Yes, I need to strong my English, and social skill.
