tl;dr version at the end of the second post
alright
so my store manager, a regular manager, and I were working today
some kids, 13ish years old, showed up and wanted to trade in some games, so I helped them out
I already forget what he brought in, but it was worth like, 6 bucks
anyways, they looked around in the store and they ultimately couldn't find anything they wanted
so I brought up reserves, they can at least make sure they have a game they wanted when it comes out
they got pretty interested, and both managers came from left field to back me up
then My store manager recalled if you put a reservation on a select game using store credit, you get an extra percentage boost
at this point, one of the younger boys was trying to get the attention of the regular manager cause he wanted to ask him about a game he saw on the TV
but yea, he was just blocking him out all douchey
so I walked over to him, leaving my register, to ask him what was up, he wanted to know more about Deus Ex Revolution
so Yea, I spent a minute explaining what was up with that game, and I told him to ask ME if he had anymore questions
as I was walking back, the regular manager leaned over to my register, suspended the transaction, and brought it up on HIS register
apparently he convinced the kid to reserve Gears of War cause it'll boost his store credit up and he wanted the number for himself
I didn't know this at the time, I found out later, but yea, hes pretty b**** made for doing that
and guys, some of you will remember I've had trouble with a manager being a dick. This "regular manager" is that same guy
so yea, I nudged to my store manager and pointed at him and laughed. The store manager couldn't believe he just did that
the phone rang at that moment and my store manager took it
at the time, I thought it was funny how he just took my transaction from me. whatever. I had 11 reservations at the time. missing one won't hurt
I jokingly said "Man, sir, thats pretty messed up! taking my transaction from me like that!"
he stopped, said "Fine you take it" and stormed off
literally walked away right then and there, to the back
I was puzzled, but whatever, the customers need help, damn. I was just playing around dude.
and yea, the customers told me they wanted the reservation. "Ohhhhhhhhh thats why he did it"
finished the transaction, got the number, put the extra store credit they earned on a card, done deal
now
the store manager had to leave at this time for a lunch break, right after he hung up the phone, so he left, said bye to me, and 5 minutes later, the other manager came in.
I was helping other customers, but I noticed after he came in, the dick manager came out from the back, and started talking to my other manager
after I finished with a mini-rush, the dick manager called me to the back
I said "Oh boy" out loud, and the other manager said "dude, don't take anything he says seriously"
so whatever the dick manager told him, the other manager didn't believe
