I recently started working at a local coffee shop. For the first week that I worked there, one of the managers was on vacation. I loved the job and all was well. Then this manager came back from vacation. With her she brought her annoying type A personality. She insists that everyone be doing something at every moment in time. If you appear to be relaxing for a few seconds she will yell at you. I consider myself a relaxed easy going kind of guy, and I am discovering (this being my first job) that I do not work well with type A people. I understand that I am being payed by the hour and I need to make myself useful, but do I really need to be doing something every single second of every single hour that I'm working? Its just a coffee shop for fucks sake. There is no need for complete machine like efficiency. I decided to work for a coffee shop because it seemed like a nice relaxed place to work, and this manager is ruining my experience. Are there any ways of dealing with a superior like this?
And a message to all the type A people that read this. CALM DOWN, RELAX AND SMELL SOME FUCKING ROSES... that is all.
