Annoying colleague
Today another annoying day at work with a very annoying colleague of mine, Karin.
In fact, she's a sweet woman, but way too stressed. And because she so stressed we all need to suffer from it, including all customers.
If there's just one customer waiting at Karin's paydesk she grabs the intercom and shouts for Tina or me to open up an extra paydesk just for 1 customer.
She totally freaks out if there's a small qeue of customers waiting.
She even calls me to open up an extra paydesk when I am actually scheduled to work at the service counter and liquorstore, even if there's no-one else in the store to fill in for me at the service counter.
And if I am not responding immediately, because for instance I am helping a customer, she doesn't hestitate to shout for me through the intercom again, and not just for once, no even for twice!
If she needs to know a price of an atricle, or something else, she even manages to call colleagues who left home ages ago.
She even calls customers using the intercom. This is a very stupid example of 2 weeks ago:
A woman paid her grocaries at Karins paydesk and left without taking her receipt. Karin called her back through the intercom, as she wanted to know if the woman wanted to have her receipt. It went like this:
Ding dong.....
"Attention, Ms. who's standing near the Ms. on the bench, would you like to have your receipt?!!???!!!!"
How stupid a person can be!!!!! I mean if the woman leaves without taking her receipt, she obviously doesn't want the fucking thing!
She really fucking annoys us a lot!
On Fridays, when she's off, the admosphere in the store is so different. When she's around there's so much tension in the air!
And next week a lot of colleagues are on holidays, wich means we need to get the same amount of work done with less people. She is already fucked up about this "stressful" period. Last year she was terrible, she really behaved herself very rude to some of the part-time colleagues.
I hope I can control myself next 3 weeks and not pissing her off too much. She can really make me soooooo angry!!
I know I must try to ignore her behaviour, but really, if this is going on every day, it's almost impossible to ignore her.

If she isn't capable for this job, she won't be capable for any job.
Talking unfortunately doesn't help. It's been tried.

I guess shes not the right person for the job. Maybe someone should try to talk to her.
