This employee got stuck working with a supervisor they were particularly not fond of. That happens in life. You can't always work with your work bestie.
It makes a huge difference when you have fun coworkers. You both have to be there for an entire six- or eight-hour shift, so you may as well try to make it enjoyable. Some coworkers have a great sense of humor. Others you'll get to know on a deep level and know all of their interesting lore. Having deep conversations while folding shirts together barely feels like work!
On the other hand are the workers you don't necessarily vibe with. Maybe you have opposite personality types, or maybe you have the type of manager who refuses to ever crack a smile. You just know that shift is going to drag on and on.

This person thought they were going to have to do an inventory shift. That's actually an ideal place to be for some people. You can listen to music or a podcast while doing that, since it's not a customer-facing activity. That's a pretty sweet way to spend a couple of hours at work.
As a bonus, the OP added in a comment that they spotted their manager a few years after this incident. Check out the whole story as well as the bonus comment below.
