What Is This Job?

a_qThe strangeness with the co-worker continues. I haven't shared a shift with her, but I've listened for HOURS her talking at me (not with me, because it might be her day off, but it is NOT mine, and I'm working on the Christmas products that I have to get packed before the end of this month and I'm rushed as is - I'm not stopping to talk with her).
So yesterday I was working in my corner (I have counter space with all the supplies for the packing and I'm pretty much stuck there unless customers come in) and for the second time (!!!) this week she shows up to stand next to me and talk talk talk. I'm barely listening because I'm working, and after awhile I realize that she's badmouthing the other part-timer to me, and I'm like...WTF. I was so stunned that I didn't do anything, but now that I think of it, I should've said firmly that her behavior is way out of line and I'm not going to listen to this at all.
It's not my business whats going on between them (they both have worked there for a long time), and there is no reason to tell me this. And badmouthing someone behind their back, to someone they know and work with? That's a shit thing to do. Talk with your friends who doesn't know/work with this person, and vent there if you want to unpack some petty dispute!
This shop is one big headache, good thing they pay well and there's not long to go before Christmas season is over.
