Some of you are aware that I just started a new job as an overnight stocker at a retail store working at nights. I thought that it'd be less stressful in some ways, however, the night crew isn't as friendly as the day crew. A few people there are OK.

It's mostly guys that work during that time. Most of the women who work at the night shift don't really talk to me unless I talk to them. This one lady who's been there awhile seems OK. She's been doing this for a long time. One other new hire is a very nice older woman.

Anyways, this ***** at work who's a new hire too was OK to me at first. She's a single mom. When we talked for the first time, she told me that and I was like, oh. I don't know if she got insulted by that or whatever. It's not like I did anything wrong, right?

I just don't care about kids. Then she saw a kid crying in the aisle when I was working during the day and since hearing screaming kids all day is normal, I wasn't paying attention. This kid was by herself in the aisle and she went up to her to see what's wrong. The mom was in the other aisle. I'm not there to babysit.

She was fine. She might've taken offense to that. She talks about her kid to other people a lot including customers. Well, last night her and some girl who is also a mom were talking and laughing about some woman and how the day manager, one of the other workers or other managers with the same name and her were laughing at someone at work.

So I stupidly approached the girl who's been there longer after the new hire disappeared after seeing me. I asked what's so funny and that I was "bored". I know that came across as nosy, but it did stop them from talking more about whatever it was until I went to the bathroom and noticed a makeup smudge above my eye. They then said something about how extremely hilarious something was. The first girl denied talking to anyone. She was like, who was she talking to, what, what time, where? That is a red flag to me.

Then a few minutes later they started talking again and laughing. If they noticed that, then why not tell me about it? I did nothing to either of them. Soon after that, the new hire stood right under me while I was putting stuff away. She was blasting some crap music. I stayed there for awhile but then left to do another section after that. It was like she was trying to irritate me.

It was rude even if she wasn't trying to. So then one of the long time female stockers there told me that my manager who is cool wants me to do another area. She told that new hire to take over my job.

She then saw me in the break room on my break and two guys were talking about bullying. I told them that I hate bullies and that I don't take crap from them. She made some comments and said this to me: "If you talk about me, I'll roll you down a hill". I don't know if that was an offhand remark or directed at me.

I just laughed. The two guys then shut up. And later they said something like brawl in the break room and laughed. One of the guys has been helpful to me. Not friendly, but he's trying to help me when I ask for it. He's cool. The other guy doesn't say anything to me.

Why would this new hire be so hostile towards me? Should I complain to the manager about her or keep quiet and not make waves until she continues to do this? I'm stuck with her for now as she works nights too. She was quiet in the break room when it was just me and her there, but she said hi to this new guy when she saw him. She is very outgoing and I'm not. She might've taken my shyness as a sign of unfriendliness? Idk.

God, some people are so weird and mean! If she starts anymore crap with me, I will have a talk with my manager who seems to be a cool guy. What should I do? Maybe I'm assuming things? Or should I talk to the manager about this?

Management there btw is ****ed up. Long story short, my real days off are Tuesdays and Wed. The day manager is NOT my manager, but the night manager is who is someone I like better. He is much more direct and funny too. HE makes my schedule. The day people don't communicate clearly with him & he told me that too. What should I do? Complain to him, or just keep away from that weird chic who seems to have some issues with me?

For the record, I have always said hi to her. She tries to ignore me now. To hell with her. Almost everyone there says hi to me or smiles back to me when they see me, (or did during the day) so it's not like there is something wrong with me other than being shy. I'm usually the first one to say hi to most people. Hardly anyone says hi to me first except for a few people. The night crew is OK except for those two young chics who both appear to be in their 20's. This is stressing me out. I don't need this crap.
