Kinda another rant albeit short
I'll try my best to make it short since basically I'm too tired to type plenty via mobile.
Coworker 1&2 : *messed up something on the transfer invoice*
Coworker1: definitely not my fault. How was I supposed to know mistakes were made? It's coworker2's fault. They handled most of it(from tallying to wrapping to recording everything down)
Coworker2: *doesn't seem to give a damn since it's the end of their shift*
That's about the surmised version of what went down. When asked why didn't she double check and reaffirm everything, by all means, she denied responsibilities.
Coworker1 has this nasty habit of not owning up to her mistakes and somehow tries to turn everything around and pushes the blame off her and to something or someone else (myself, the bosses, the lady in the other store 2 towns over), including coworker2 who happens to be her own sister (although in her own words that the fact that they are related doesn't effect things I beg to differ. From the blatant biasness. One of the excuses used today after being chewed up by the lady boss, "we're only human. We make mistakes who doesn't?" Which had me internally laughing and screaming in distress because what the hell? As if she's roping me into it.
Had it been me who did it (lucky break since it was my day off), she would not pull any brakes to blame me for messing up real bad. That it's her ass the bosses will grill. Oh how her world will end all that jazz.
Is this what they call double standard?

Later in the evening, same old coworker1 featuring a customer.
Quick background.. At the beginning of this year, to ensure that we are to care more for the environment the government of the state we live in has imposed on the ban of polystyrene case for take-aways and urged the public to reduce the usage of plastic bags in all business premises. Failure to comply,results in a rm1000 fine. But, there's a leeway of some sort, that is for business owners to charge 20cents for every plastic bag required (the tragic logic!)
Onto the suckage....
A customer comes in, takes a look of stuff, sees something they like and proceeds with it. At the end of transaction, the customer asked for a bag for their purchase in which coworker1 replied with "we must charge 20cents for it".
Here's the situation. It's common sense as a cashier, you are to ask whether the customer needs a plastic bag, they have the right to choose even more so after this legislation.
From what I saw and heard of the exchange, said customer replied with "I don't mind (the charge) but you didn't ask me the option." Which she didn't.(It's rather rare that I agree with that blasted "customers always right" phrase).
After said customer is well on their ways away, coworker1 started, "they was already carrying a plastic bag, I wouldn't have bothered with it since most would refuse anyway".
I replied with she should have asked anyway and that certainly didn't sit well with her. It's funny to me.
It seems like she doesn't like when people don't agree with her opinions.
