Supervisor talks to me like I'm stupid.... what can I do about this?

Everyone tell you to take it, are just wrong man. You are a human being just like them I dont care if their shirt says superviser, they dont have the right to treat you like crap. Ugalde-

I usually dont confront them.

I keep my friends close and my enemies closer so I would totaly suck up and better her up and manipulate.

However, you can always confront without being an ass.

If you plan to stay there long, you have to negociate your pay, and how you are treatedin general before diving in too deep with responsibilities and stuff

[QUOTE="KungfuKitten"] It's kinda weaksauce to let other people treat you like that. That doesn't sound like a good solution at all.

Sometime that's just how it has to be when that person is your supervisor, you don't like them, they don't like you, but you just have to put up with them because they're in a position above you.

No, it's like not needlessly causing drama at your workplace. The fact of the matter is there's going to be people at your work that you just don't get along with.  Dealing with it rather than causing drama is part of being an adult.

If you continue to be effective at your job, someone will witness her being abusive to a quality employee and she'll get her ass reemed. Also try to get noticed by her superiors. If you can get them to like you, then it won't matter what she has to say about. Also understand that in retail management turnover can be just as high as hourly employees, so it's possible that if you stick it out long enough that she'll be gone. 

Basically, I'm working this grating retail job to make ends meet since I just moved to a different city.

I have 4 supervisors and one just took this immediate, unwarranted disliking to me. I do all of my work well and I do it on time. I help others. I've made fast friends with my coworkers. But this ***** always finds something to harp on me for. Lately, she doesn't have my work to criticize so she will speak to me like a toddler. I feel like she's trying to get me to lash out at her this way.

Anyway, I'm still in my probation period since I haven't even been there 2 months. I really want to talk to her and tell her that her way of speaking to me is very disrespectful but at the same time I'm worried if I bring it up, they'll label me a "problem employee" and just fire me before my probation period is up. What can I do about this?

Report her to HR for harrassment and then just drop it.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do about this sort of thing. All you can really do is avoid this person when possible, and bite your tongue when you can't. I worked in a fast food job for five years with several managers, and I can point to a time where I liked each of them more than the rest, and times when they were just the worst person in the building. It was very odd how they rotated from best to worst that way. 

Hang in there I know it seems impossible, but your view of that person could very well change over time.

Sabotage the supervisor.

It is only difficult because you are a coward and you are not used to doing those things. With practice it becomes easier. It is certainly the best thing to do. I have been in those situations and resolved things through honesty without being cruel or disrespectful. It may not work 100% of the time, but it is certainly worth practicing.

Do your work and don't have her get to you. She isn't important.

Unfortunately, you just have to deal with it. Use it as motivation to get out of retail as fast as you possibly can. You have to understand that these stupid-visors that have been working retail for awhile are nobodies. Most likely with GEDs. They enjoy the power trip. The only way to beat them is to become better than them.

My advice would be to spend your free time looking for another job. Not only to be happier but if that person really has it out for you then it will eventually result in you being fired.
