i just started a new job a couple days ago, and i've come to believe that one of my co-workers doesn't like me very much.
why i think that is because on my second day, i came up to her to ask her a question to see if our store carried baby books for a customer that was looking for one. my co-worker just rudely glared at me for long while, and looked away without answering my question.
as you can imagine, i was pretty pissed off because i hadn't familiarized myself with the merchandise and the customer was waiting on me to give her a response. and my co-worker, who was working in infants, didn't even bother to put any effort into helping this customer!
not only that, she ignores me every time i'm around and she complained to the same customer i was dealing with: "she doesn't know anything, she hasn't even been working here long."
what i want to know is what i should do about this situation? obviously i don't want to confront her about it with the risk of increased hostility between us. and i'm not sure if it's appropriate to talk to my other co-workers about it...should i just wait it out and toughen up and hopefully she won't be so "bitchy"?

That is extremely rude and hurtful of your co-worker to say such a thing. In order to be successful in the job world, one has to be friendly and willing to accept new situations and new people. I think what you need to do is ask a couple of the other co-workers that you are friendly with if she is always like that, or if she truly dislikes you. If she dislikes you that much, and she's treating you this rudely, don't be afraid to go and tell the manager with a group that this person is not accepting you into the department, and this person isn't helping customers, etc. When you go with a group you assure the manager that you are not overreacting, but you are telling the truth about this worker being moody and unkind. The manager should understand and take care of it for you.
Good luck:-)
