I can kinda understand the VSC dating because for a while it was 24 hours but the standard was changed to 48 hours for a long time now. For the rest of the behavior it sounds like she’s used to the way her store is run (lax) and because she wasn’t planted in a specific role, felt she could do whatever as a floater. No excuses for the till sharing though, even a floater should have their own register opposite the main reg person in case you need two people to ring.

You said she’s just transferred so I’m sure she was also trying to figure out where everything is. Where she was wrong is not communicating with you and trying to do things at the expense of partners and customers. And also, not learning the rhythm of how things are run first. Based on what I read I don’t think she’s targeting you but it’s definitely not cool she blew you off and then accidentally injured you. I think she may be thoughtless, or inconsiderate, but not malicious — I don’t think she’s using your till to piss you off, more like she can’t be bothered to open her own. All still definitely cool, though. Have you tried talking to her about it, or maybe a supervisor/manager to mediate?

Honestly right now the only person I feel comfortable talking to would be my SM because all the shifts are talking about how much they want to quit. Sadly my SM was one of the people out today. My store had a manager change in January so things are still kinda wild at my store

This was your first time working together, right? It's up to you based on how upset today made you feel, but I would see how the next shift with her goes/few days from now. Definitely do something to blow off some steam, but maybe it was just a bad first impression. Even if the next shift with her goes badly, I would still chalk that up to a coincidence of bad first impressions. If it happens a third time, I would consider it a pattern and bring it up with the SM, and now you have concrete examples that weren't an isolated incident or an unfortunate coincidence.

This actually wasn't our fist time working together. Another time we worked together (another time I was on CS) I got fresh sani and the way I brought it out wasn't the most convenient way to change it out but I wasn't really thinking, just trying to get it done. When I went to the back I could hear her talking to another coworker saying "why did she do it like that?" When I went back to the front she basically said "hey if you do it like this you dont have to take as many trips" and she was right but it still made me feel shitty hearing her talk about me behind my back. She also dumped a drink with inclusions in the dish washing sink and when I asked her not to because it gets caught she washed it down with sani water and said the "we have to clean the drain catcher anyways" but we does not mean we it means me or nightshift. And today she dumped another drink with inclusions into the sink and a cup of something into the sink while I was washing dishes.
