At the very least, they could’ve been civil & polite even if they didn’t like me. One rude supervisor snapped at me after I asked him what time the store opens.
I didn’t hear him the first time as it was loud in the area. I was talking to a customer on the phone. I didn’t notice him talking to anyone else like that. Rude! I felt like he singkef me out. He accused me of taking unauthorized breaks too. He talked down to me like I was a moron too.
I reported him to my supervisor who is nice. Unfortunately my husband thinks that I ‘overreacted’ & am going to get myself fired by complaining about people.
So it’s OK for them to disrespect me then? Ugh! I doubt that my husband would put up with that b.s ironically, lol.
I think that they might let me go soon as I wasn’t scheduled for the following week. I was going to quit anyways.

Sounds like a very toxic workplace, from my own experience with such a place. Doesn't matter the type of job - the people are toxic so the work environment becomes toxic.
I think your husband is not supportive to you emotionally at all. If he were truly sympathetic, he'd be on your side and help you find a good job and be more emotionally supportive.
It sounds like you're in my situation with work - you're not in your ideal job but a transitional job, so that you can make ends meet to pay the bills, while you try to find that ideal job.
When people are in our shoes, who have transitional jobs, life sucks. We're forced to do jobs we despise, with people who don't support us (they project their own issues onto us, b/c they disrespect other people).
All I can advise you is to remove 100% of your emotions as soon as you walk through the office door. Just don't internalize ANYTHING anyone (nice or mean) directs at you. Just smile and stay silent. Don't engage. Just show up and perform your work tasks and go home. That's what I do. Until I can find my dream job. I put up with a lot of silliness from people around me until I can find "the" job b/c I have to pay my rent, my car, car insurance, student loans, groceries, cat food, electricity, cable/internet and cell phone etc.
You are not alone. There are millions of people like you and me doing this b/c we have to; not because we want to. Just ignore everything anyone tells you that attacks your character etc. and just deflect it.
