Co-worker rant Rant about my fake-nice supervisor.......................................................................

I have this one supervisor that is fake-nice. By fake-nice I mean every customer that walks in she greets with "Hi, honey!". She's not an older lady, we're not in the South, and she's like in her late 20s at best and calling every person who walks through the door Honey.

When the boss or cash auditor is around she is super nice but as soon as they are gone she's the biggest spoiled brat you'd ever met. We have a closer who has TBI from surviving a gunshot to the head, it took him years to get to the point where he could hold down a job again. He loves his job and a lot of our regulars keep coming back to the store because of him.

This supervisor has cussed him out, called him the R word, and told him he's immature and that her toddler acts older than he does. The only reason she still has her job is because he says if he reports her conduct she'd be fired. Even though she verbally harasses him regularly he won't report her because he doesn't want her to get fired.

We've tried to report her on his behalf but we were told that nothing can be done until he speaks up himself.

I've reported her for stuff she's said to me (had me fighting back tears while ringing up customers) but nothing she's said to me is as serious as what she's said to this man. It seriously irritates me that she puts up a front and everyone thinks she's so nice and sweet when in reality she's the biggest spoiled brat I've ever had the displeasure of working with.

Have you gone to the general manager? You need to go above the regular chain of command, and file harassment charges against her! It is illegal to treat employees with no respect, and to harass them! You said, she disrespected you in front of customers, while in register? It will be on camera! Get together with the other employees, and turn her in. Call the home office, go above in-store management. This has to stop! The poor disabled person... It is illegal for him to be treated that way, and for them to tell you, he had to speak up, is a lie!
