Let me start by saying I'm a "floor guy" at a small town hardware store. I am in training to be a manager but not one yet. I do a bunch of stuff around the store. Which leaves me busy a lot of the time.

We have a paint department that LOVES calling me and the other floor guys to do dumb things that is their job. Now, I don't mind helping here or there. However when I get called away from doing something to come pick up your empty boxes to bring them to the box crusher when you're supposed to, or to bring a box up to the register for a customer that weighs 10lbs.

I just get furious since they've been told not to do this. However they don't stop. I recently told them I'm not moving a box for them since they weren't busy. They were just playing on their phone while waiting on me.

They complained and the manager told them it's their job. Now I have multiple people mad at me because I tell them NO. When it's not my job unless they are too busy.

Am I the asshole?

I can't imagine a universe where what you did makes you an asshole.

Well I have 4 women complaining about it. One called me a dick to my face and said "You always complain about doing your job."

One complained that I was being a smartass by saying they weren't busy so they should have done it.

One complained I called them out for giving us the wrong information on a product to load in a customer's car.

The other just doesn't like me. πŸ˜•

Them calling you a dick to your face for you not doing their job is an HR write-up. Do that.

You want to know why they disrespect you? Because they haven't faced any consequences for doing so.

That's the thing. We don't have a HR that handles that kind of thing. It's up to the store managers, which is all family. One of the girls called my coworker a asshole for not being gentle enough with a buggy of paint. The consequences, you ask? An apology to me and my coworker. I never recieved one and my coworker never told me if he got one and refuses to talk about it because "she was probably upset so I'm not worried about it."

Time to find a new job. That situation won’t get better anytime soon due to family managing family.
