she likes making people look like @$$es and it sux. i mean, she has a heart but i really hate it when she constantly nagging me about something...
i usually just say "okay, im sorry it wont happen again." if she says something to me but GOD!!!! today she was just so obnoxiously rude. today we were all sitting down to eat dinner, and she made room for everyone but me and told me to go sit in a different table and eat all by myself. (usually we all sit together) and there was definetly enough room for 5 people to sit!!! (it was a four table booth, but she was sitting at the end so i couldnt get in) and she was saving the space for one of the waiters... i was really upset, but the cook felt bad for me and told her to let me sit...
do u think i should be angry or do u think its not a big deal? i feel like she was deliberately trying to humiliate me.

No point getting angry at her because you will lose your job too then.

if you understand a kid is being immature, then you just look down on them and deal with it the way you can.
if you understand your bf is just jealous. you'd smile and reassure him [unless it gets ugly >>]
if a group of kids are making idiots of themselves in public. and you remember the days you and your friends did that. you wouldn't be among the old farts who forgot what it's like to be kids. and cursing them off down the platform.
_ if you understand why you boss is like that. perhaps it could help. x_x' but otherwise. yes, anyone could be mad at her. you could just lower your expectations of getting anything more from her than instructions, yelling and a paycheck.
o_O' where do you work anyways?

not everyone you meet, in the workforce but also just in social environments, is going to be nice.
It's part of life to put up with the most attrocious people ever
I get yelled at by customers at work etc. but I put up with it because its part of my job.

I join this opinion; however, I have to point out to you that the economy is in dire straits. You're lucky to be employed and until you can really find another place to hire you, you'll just have to put up with the way they treat you.
The world is ALWAYS unfair when it comes to bosses. Good luck to you and I hope you find another more fulfilling job soon.

yes, she can be a handful sometimes, but when it comes to a restaraunt its a stressfull business so i understand.
thank you.. i kind of needed a swift kick in the ass. i think i was taking things to personally last night and it probably wasn't a big deal. I am a nice person and so is she so there should be no real trouble between us.

Obviously you've not experienced "real" work. Standing up to your boss is just another way of getting fired. As an employee, it is in your best interest to just take whatever your boss gives you and deal with it. If she follows your advice, knowing how much of a jerk her boss is, she will get fired.

Agreed. Can't always leave a job when your boss doesn't like you or vice versa.
Continue to be nice to your boss even though she doesn't like you. Maybe this will soften her a little?

But I don't think you should be angry (don't think about it too much and try not to let her bother you). Just remind yourself that she is really unfair (since she seems to be), but try to be polite to her (or as civil as you can). Don't let her kill your self-esteem or anything- maybe she's someone who feels better about herself when she insults others. :/
Do your best to find a new job. And I don't know why you keep trying to make her sound better- "she has a heart" "she is nice" blahblah- she doesn't seem to be nice to you. Maybe when she IS nice to you- she is just pretending or being fake? I dunno. Just be careful, don't give her high opinions when she obviously deserves dirt opinion.
Just deal. Be cooperative. Who knows? Maybe she'll learn to be nice on her own.
Good luck =)

And is she the actual owner? Or is there someone higher then her?

Obviously you know nothing about me so saying that Ive never experienced real work just makes you look stupid. Just because you have a bad boss does not mean you need to take their abuse. You need to stand up for yourself.

I can see both points of view on this argument, but I just need to say that if you are not in the right situation (as in, you have to pay bills, or take care of family, or you have no other means of financial support) to be talking back to your boss, it's better to just keep your mouth shut than risk getting fired. I mean, especially in this economy, when it's hard enough getting a job, there is no point in screwing your own self over like that.
To the OP: if there is anyone else you can talk to, maybe a superior? then you should talk to him/her about it, but otherwise, I do agree that bosses can suck, but the only thing you can do is deal with it, or at least try to avoid them. Or like someone else said, secretly get another job and once that is secured, tell your boss off on your last day!

Wow, personal attacks already? Did I hit a sensitive spot? I must have! Please, take a reality check or at least take a permanent break. You've no idea what real work is. You can't stand up to your boss and like I said before it is another way of saying "fire me". You have no idea what you are rambling about and it seems you are arguing for just the sake of arguing. The boss is always right, end of the story. Don't try and get this young girl fired with your crazy rebellious ideas that are just abundant in your mind due to your incorrect self-righteous ideals. See? I can do personal attacks also. The girl is lucky to have a job in this ever failing economy, credits of Bush, and should not be complaining or griping about her good luck and good fortune.
Seeing as we are both males, I would like to add "Take it like a man" or are you just not man enough.
