Actually had 3 in the same job
Not so much bastards, but worth a mention.

Working part time at Woolworths between 16 and about 20. There was this one girl, maybe 5 years older than me, who worked Sundays and trained to be a primary school teacher. Trouble is she was a natural born primary school teacher. You might think this would make her nice. Nope. She was alright on the surface, as most people are, but then when something needed doing, she was instantly a teacher. A primary school teacher. A patronising, bossy, lazy woman, who would instantly take charge the minute something needed doing, despite being no higher in the company than the rest of us.

The second was a girl a couple of years older than me that had nothing in common with any of the other part timers, but for some reason could talk for hours on end with all the older staff, and used to bring the assistant manager cakes now and then because she wanted to get into his pants. And she thought "Most Haunted" was the scariest thing ever.

Last, but by no means least, was Brenda. There had to be something wrong with Brenda. I knew her daughter from school, and she was a little messed up. Meeting Brenda explained it all. She would never go on tills because she claimed that she was allergic to the nickel in 5p coins or something. The assistant manager ended up buying her a pair of marigolds to wear on the tills. She was also in charge of kids clothing, and any time she was away and someone else did it, something would always be wrong when she got back. One of the most common problems, and by far the most entertaining, was the shoes. Most people would put them on shelves with the toe facing the front of the shelf, or if they went on hooks, just whichever way they happened to be facing when they were grabbed. This made Brenda incredibly irate! Apparently the shoes all had to face the fromt of the store so that they would "welcome customers walking up the shop"!
