Immature OLD woman?

I work with this old lady at a fastfood resteraunt. She is really old and she has been at this same job for years. I've had this job for four years. I just graduated from highschool and as soon as I start college in August, I will no longer be working there! Hooray! Welll...this old lady has been sooo bitter to me! When I made a mistake on the job, she tried to make it into a big deal and make me look stupid. Whenever I smile and conversate with another employee, she will go over to that person and talk about me to them while looking over at me! She acts so immature. But, I continue to treat her with kindness anyways and smile in her face. I can't help that she is OLD and is still working at a fastfood resteraunt. I just want to know what her issue is. What do you people think?

Answer:
Sounds to me like this bitter old woman is jealous of you. After all, you're young and going to college soon. She may see you as an example of what she could have been but isn't. She probably wants to make you feel stupid so that she will seem like the smartest person working there. She may see you as a threat. All you can do is continue to treat her with kindness. She's not worth trying to fight with or worry about. After all, you're the one going to college soon! Good luck! :-)
HELLOOO! She a hundred and flipping burgers, and your about to go and improve your life. Shes jealous because when she was your age she was probably running the streets and laughing at the kids working at the burger joints about to go to school, and now shes wishing she would have thought about her future like Ur doin

You figured it out, flip burgers in high school so you dont do it when your older
GOOD Luck!
She is jealous of your youth and beauty, just keep up the smile and don't let her bitterness get to you.
Well here are 2 choices:

you can either go on during the day doing the best that you can and just count the days that you are going to be leaving and making something out of yourself, or
you can go up to her and try to find out why she is being that way towards you. do it nicely, show her that you are the bigger and better person.
People's emotional ages don't always equal their physical ages. She may be shaken up by the fact that you're young and full of potential, and she's old and can do nothing better for herself. That's no excuse for her ignorant ways, though. The people who know you will see the type of person she is. Your true friends will not discount you for her bitterness. (Not all old people are like that.)
You two better talk to each other about your issues. Tell her that you dislike what she does and ask her why she do it for. Sometimes, things aren't what we think they are. According to you, she's like this, like that. Are you sure you have done nothing wrong at all?
It seam to me, by adding the 4 years, and multiplying then by 365 day's that is exactly the time you expend with such an Old lady?, apparently, if my math doesn't play a game on me. I don't know how old you are but you appeared to be young, and inexperience in this sort of things? .
In the other hand, from may 1, 2007, to august, is about 3 moth, so let say, between.., do, you see what I mean, perhaps you are a bit to young to exactly and perfectly know what Immaturity means?, but if you which to learn, read this again?, Because my self I have been acting with you very Immature, but positive. take this as a constructive Criticism, and know that what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger.
You know the old saying respect your elders, well you have. It's not a case of her being OLD the immaturity of this lady cannot be changed and will not change. My personal opinion is that some people are born with something wired wrong in their brain. Or it may be that they have had a long rough life and possibly been mistreated by the youth of today who knows. You could go the extra mile and talk to her about this or simply tell her off the choice is yours. Ultimately you're doing the mature thing by just smiling and being nice, that's awesome on your part.
its either 1 of two things, she has a hard life at home, or she likes annoying you.

What i do with situation like that, i just say 'Yes ma'am' In the most cockiest way possible.

about the friend thing... i would do something real bad... hehe

start rumors.

Well i hop i helped you feel better.
When older people are bitter like that it might indicate that she is dissatisfied with the way her life turned out. You are young and still have plenty of opportunities, so she might resent that. It's pretty sad, really. But, it's not your fault. I don't know if you can change her, it is just something she needs to deal with on her own. So continue to be pleasant and ignore it. At least you won't put up with it much longer.
Jealosy. She leads a sad life and she is jelaous your moving on I see this all the time because I also have older coworkers who act like immature teenagers.Keep acting with class just know that you have so much more left unlike her whose life is clearly has stopped/
Is easy. She honors you. She sees more in you than she does herself. And that is the greatest honor to hold. Continue to be respectful to her. She will teach you something you will need and that is honorable. Stand fast. You will enjoy the benefits of her knowledge for many years to come.
Maybe she wants you to make company to her. Did u try to talk with her about her life what she wanted to do whats her fave things hobbies etc...Sounds funny yeah.. but she might acts like that because she thinks you're smarter & luckier than she was and seems like she's jealous of that.
Maybe she tries to get your attention with the things she does. She might feels like you're 'cold' to her (u say noble & kind) she might see it the other way around (!)
Try to make her feel u are just any other girl in the world (u have a job want to study afterwards to find a job again) just normal, and talk to her when something dissapoints u! Ask her why she does that! Make her trust you in a way! You're not cinderella or the richest brat kid! You are a normal girl..make her understand that she doesn't have to jealous anything of u. Make her see her life and priorities even now. She might want help or advise.
But even it is nothing of all the above talk to her! she tries to see your expressions with this acting. When you pretend you don't care or didn't see you make her feel worse! You make her jealous worse because she realises you have better things to do in your life than giving a damn to her and that might hurts her and then.read again from the beginning..
