New Job Worries
I just started a new job today in the clothing department of a superstore.
The store hasnt opened yet so we were cleaning the diplay tables for the first couple hours which was fine, but then my boss had us folding clothes onto the tables. She told me TWICE that I wasn't folding them neatly enough even though I was trying my best. I was working with two other girls and she was being harder on me than the other two and I'm not sure why. I was so stressed out about it that when I got home I wanted to throw up and I went staight to bed.
My next shift is tomorrow and I really want to impress her.
Does anyone have any advice?

Okay, well from the sound of it, your boss is an extremley huge bitch, but you can't go telling her that now, can you. The best way to approach this is to be extra polite. IF she doesn't like what you're doing say "could you please show me how you would like it done so that I can do it to your satisfaction" THAT will impress her, showing that you want to learn how to do it right.
DOn't suck up whatever you do! Good luck, and maybe she's just trying to see how tough you are. But definetley follow the above advice.

you could do a few things:
-go to work a half hour early and talk to your boss..let her know you reallly want to get this right and ask if she can please work with you
-talk to your coworkers who have it down well..maybe arrange to go to their house and even practice

When you go into work tomorrow, ask your boss the proper way that she would like the shirts folded. Maybe she sees that you have potential and she's trying to make you realize that, so in turn she's being harder on you.

wow that is a doozy..
hehe
ok i'll get to the point now
do you have any CLUE why she might've been harder on you?
i know what it feels like to be under pressure because you want to impress somebody but all they say is that you aren't doing good enough or you should try harder
just go early tomorrow and ask her
"have i done something wrong because i feel that we were a bit tense yesterday.."
or something along those lines
and she'll either apologize or tell you what was wrong
i hope that helped!!
please give me some feedback if you like my advice

You could buy her a cheeseburger and tell her that you're sorry.

See, told you they'd call you in!
Try your best tomorrow. It may even help if, when you got to work (maybe a little early) You go to her and talk.
Tell her you had a little trouble with the folding yesterday and it really upset you. Ask if she would give you a quick lesson in how she'd like it to be done.
This will let her know you are eager to do the job right. It will also make her feel important because you asked her for help.
If she is also new to the job, she may have been on a bit of a power trip. I think if you ask for her help, she will move on and bug someone else. :)
