Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Tonight I was working the late shift at Starbucks, and was told to work at the register for my shift. I was also given a list of things to get done while there were no customers wanting to order. With tonight being valentine's day, we were very slow, so I burned through the list fairly quickly. Now, the way things work at Sbux, there is only one assistant manager "in charge" at any given time, no matter how many are working. Tonight, I happened to be working with 4 other managers. I asked the one in charge (who I'll call C) what they wanted me to do once I finished the list, and they thought about it for a second, and then told me to just watch the register. As I walked back over there, she also told me specifically to not help with anything else except maybe making drinks if we got slammed. With how slow we were, this got boring pretty quickly, so I started absentmindedly doodling on a whiteboard we have nearby to leave notes on (making sure to ring any customers who came up immediately). C walked by about 10 minutes later, and I asked her "Are you sure you don't need me to do anything, I'm honestly bored just standing around here." She looked around and said, that everything looked perfect, and just to keep watching the register. Sometimes I like to leave stupid jokes on the whiteboard for the openers, so this time I figured since I had nothing better to do, I might as well do something more extravagant. I started drawing a fairly detailed picture of a giant monster, and wrote underneath "Merry phblthpka, praise be to " and then a bunch of nonsense characters I made up on the spot. At one point another assistant manager (who I'll call B), who has been known to have anger issues in the past, tells me to wipe up the counter behind me because it looks terrible (even though the C said it was perfect). I spent another 15-20 minutes cleaning everything in depth again, then went back to the drawing. After B was leaving for the night, he caught a glimpse of my drawing, and flipped out. He told me that this was my last chance here, and if he ever saw me writing on that whiteboard again, he was going to write a note to our district manager (not the first time he's threatened me with that). He demanded that I drop everything immediately and erase it, and again told me that I was on thin ice. He goes on these rants so often it's a running joke at this point. I figured I was due for another one soon, so I wasn't worried until I joked about it with C, and she took his side, and so did the other employees there tonight. I asked her if she had a problem with me doing that, and she got quiet and didn't really answer. This was also weird because she has no problem calling me out when she thinks I'm not working hard enough. I could see an issue with someone getting offended maybe, but the picture was totally out of view of the customers, and I know everyone I work with well enough to say I would be genuinely surprised if they were. So am I the asshole here, and if so, why?  
TL;DR: I was told that I had nothing to do at work except ring people up. Noone is here so i draw a picture on a nearby whiteboard (still ringing people up, no customer complaints) and other employees get angry.
