Today is a day like any other day, getting up and going into a job that I love with every fiber in me, sometimes I do not like how people are talked to and really have to basically turn off my thoughts and just go be the best artist, manager and customer service rep that I can be. We have a great store and usually the best customer service in the industry. The company will not hire a person unless they have at least one year of experience in a retail field of some sort, even though they tell us to go out and talk to people in places like restaurants and other such job atmospheres.
I was at work for about an hour and have been hearing the last few weeks that there is animosity between some of the cosmetic girls and the cosmetic manager, whether it is because of the way that she talks to people or how her approach on any one subject may be.

Given this cruelty as was thought by said associate, rumors had it that the manager had said something about age (big no-no) and older being replaced with younger. Normally, I just end up ignoring things like this because it is usually just rumor by misunderstanding or not listening. There was a box that had been sitting at the girls counter that she asked me to take care of because she did not want to get into trouble by the manager by placing it where it needed to be placed(in the office), I told her it would be ok, but that I would take it. Later that day; the manager was freaking out because of this box and while in the office she asked what it was doing there. I simply told the truth and where it had
