Why do people get mad when I look up to them?

you lost your job because you didn't behave appropriately

do your job
do it well
go home

What exactly was inappropriate? Not only did I lost my job, but I’m not even allowed in the store as a normal customer!

every one of those behaviours is inappropriate

each one is slightly creepy and stalkerish

all three?

not good

___

do your job

do your job well

go home

they were concerned about your stalker-like behaviour

All of this.

Look up to someone at work? That's great. Do so during working hours, do your job well, and then go home or anywhere else because you are done for the day. Your supervisor had to do her job and not corral you, explain you away, or otherwise deal with you. She had other issues and you were getting in the way. And, as ehBeth said, also behaving in a stalker-like fashion.

Stalking is a very serious word. So is creepy. And obsessed. People had described me with all 3 words.

Being thought of as mentor is a great feeling. Teaching and molding a young, inexperienced mind is always something to strive for. Having said that, having that young person not learn from the advice given or subsequently, argue their position as an equal and not a subordinate would make that relationship uncomfortable.

When you come in on your days off or stay after your shift, you became a distraction to the manager on duty. Not only does the manager have to watch the business and supervise the working employees, she now has to babysit you and watch that you don't get hurt on company time, and not do any work that you don't get paid for.

When you sat down during a meeting adjacent to your manager and district manager, you failed to take in account they could be talking about how to re-evaluate the staff, cutting hours, increasing hours, who to fire or who to promote. All that information is supposed to be confidential.

You need to learn to maintain a healthy business relationship versus a personal relationship. You can ask a mentor how to calculate a employee FTE model to further your knowledge in staffing hours for the business. But you ask a personal friend for advice about something other than work or to go to the movies with you.

In other words, you treated you mentor as a friend, not as a respected person whose experience and knowledge who you value. Next time, make sure you know where your place is in the chain of command. (Hint: not management)

Before my supervisor ever got mad, a few of my coworkers already called me out on my behavior. For instance, one particular day, I came in on my day off the 2nd time within the same day. My coworker b*t ched that I should leave. When a brand new girl called my coworker out on being rude to me, my coworker replied, “she just wants to bother [supervisor].”

Another time, right after work, I got called to my campus to meet with someone. After I met with him, I immediately returned to my workplace just bc my supervisor was still working. A coworker asked me why I’m back, which I ignored. An hour later, my supervisor said to go home, which I did but only AFTER I walked her to her car as she was also leaving. As I was walking her to her car, I asked her if she work Wednesday, the day I was scheduled.

Her: yes
Me: good. I was worried.
Her: why?!
Me: cuz I wanna work with you.

Was that wrong?

And she and I used to joke around and talk about non work related stuff, the way she does with everybody. But I’m the one she eventually rejected for admiring her.

You are confusing being "friendly" to "friendship."

A good supervisor is one that takes an active interest in who you are as a person as a means to create a positive work experience. A happy worker is a productive worker! But you took that to mean your boss is a good friend of yours and that simply just isn't the case.

Your co-workers tried to get you to realize to back off but you didn't listen. It probably seemed like you were trying to suck up to the boss to get better hours or pay. And that just doesn't sit well with others.

Again, retain a professional distance from supervisors. They have a job to do and most probably their own family to worry about. It seems to me, you wanted more of a mother figure than actually learning how to become a shift leader/management.

If you want a friend, ask a co-worker to an event or movies or whatever.

Yeah I hung out with coworkers outside of work before. It was company policy not to allow managers to hang out with crew members, only each other. I'm sorry other people thinks I'm infatuated with my supervisor because that is simply not the case!

If you knew that was company policy to not hang out with managers and after being told by your coworkers, why did you keep going back into work when you weren't scheduled?

So what does this tell you?

Hang out means going to the mall or movies, or at least thay's what I thought. I never knew it included hanging out at work on my days off.

Find other things to do on your days off.

Most people do chores, meet friends, rest, exercise, do a hobby, or go to appointments - all of those things are away from their places of employment.

This is the creepiest shite I've read in a long time.
Jesus Christ mate like...
How did you even last five years?
It doesn't sound like you "looked up to her" - this is stalker behaviour and she most likely felt very uncomfortable/intimidated by your behaviour.

Like, seriously?
How can you not see how utterly disturbing your behaviour obviously was?

Bloody hell if I weren't sitting down I would need to sit down.

I lasted only 2.5 years at that fast food joint. On the other hand, I been here 5 years at my current retail job bc I ain't look up to anyone here.

Dude you're not "looking up to them".

You're acting massively inappropriate and creepy and in a way that was clearly unwanted.

The problem isn't with them - it's with you. Realise you have a problem and deal with it.

that is not the problem

the problem is your inappropriate behaviour

do you have a job coach you can talk to about this?
