And "young and starting out..." I am not young or starting out, so I kind of didn't expect to be treated like someone who's young and/or starting out. And I feel so, so bad for the people who work there who ARE young and starting out. I do NOT think it's a coincidence that the manager hired, at the same time he hired me, a guy who's juuuuust 21 and had never had any kind of job before (and who seems like he might be on the Spectrum, I say not as an insult but as a statement of his behavior/personality. I LOOOOOOVED working with him, but he has some interpersonal difficulties) and a guy who's 19 and also had never worked anywhere before. I think he specifically hires people he thinks he can bully because they don't know to expect anything else/won't stand up for themselves. And for the most part it's working, I guess.
