Working retail in a very busy spot. We have the same job title but I make a couple dollars more an hour than she does. I’ve also been working for longer than she’s been alive and her only previous job experience is one month in fast food. Ever since she found out what I’m being paid she seems to be really embracing the idea of minimum work for minimum (ish) pay. I want to support her on that, but the work needs to get done by someone so whatever she’s not willing to do ends up on my plate. I’m okay with taking on extra responsibilities and work, and I do handle several projects that have to be done in addition to our normal cashier stuff on my own and without complaint. But lately she’s spending the majority of every shift sitting on a chair where customers can’t see her (the counters are tall) messing around on her phone and complaining about how she doesn’t get paid enough for this, or disappearing into the back for long periods of time to socialize with coworkers or just hide, leaving me to handle all the customers on my own for much of the day. I’m getting extremely frustrated and I don’t know what to do. Our job does suck, but SHE’S making MY job so much harder than it should be. I don’t want to go to our supervisor because I don’t want to rat her out, plus he must’ve noticed what’s going on anyway because it’s a small space and he’s there most days. Surely she can tell that I’m frustrated because I have to ask her to help with the line multiple times a day (which she usually does only briefly, then she disappears into the back again). I don’t know how to balance supporting her desire to do the bare minimum without overextending myself into extreme burnout. Do I even owe her my support? At first I felt like we were in this together but the more she leaves me to do the vast majority of the work with apparently no concern for me the more I wonder why I feel like I owe it to her to pick up the slack.
