Okay, so yesterday I came back from lunch and Joe was using my register while I was gone. I noticed he moved some of my money around so I told him not to do that in the future and he somewhat aggressively explained that that was how his Head Cashier wanted the till (as if we have separate HCs which we dont). I mentioned that I had never been told that and that it was my till so...and before I could finish the sentence I knew he would come back with the fact that with this new system no till is exclusive to one cashier, we all share, just rotating around the registers. Which he did.
It wasn't what he was saying that was bothering me so much as how he was saying it. I was getting angry and there was customers around, and I didn't want to have it out then and there. I told him to stop talking to me and walk away. He said "No! Don't be angry now!" but still in this aggressive manner. I said "I am angry so you need to stop talking to me and leave me alone".
Now he went into full bull-headish mode and said he wouldn't walk away and that I was a baby when I threatened to call someone because he would not respect what I was asking. He tried to belittle my efforts to call someone in a position higher than ourselves, once again calling me a baby and even asking "who are you going to call?! What are they going to do?"
I said they would get him to leave me alone and he just laughed and called me a baby, but I already had the phone ringing for out Front End Manager and once I got her on the phone he walked away.
Later I had to give my statement of what happened to that same Front End Manager and one of the Assistant Managers. Apparently, Joe couldn't contain himself and told everyone at the front end his side, from what the Front End Manager said, he feeds on drama.
The thing is, this Joe and I had been getting along just fine, in fact having hung out with another co-worker outside of work which is out of the norm for me. But once you see someone is that determined to stir shit and will not walk away from a confrontation when asked, it's kind of game over to me.
