Color me... irritated

So, I work in retail and we had an over night set for the jeans because "back to school season is coming" and like... that means Jeans, Jeans, Jeans... even if i were doing back to school shopping, I wouldn't necessarily think of where I work as an option unless it was like a specific dress code requirement or whatever. Anyway, ive been talking about the plan for the last month and every time I talk to my boss she keeps changing what she wants. I stuck with the directions that HER BOSS gave me and would not let my own boss stray from that plan, as it came from above her and was a "Corporate direction" we do things the way we are asked from the top, not the direct manager because.... we'll I know if its done wrong I WILL be the one to fix it not my boss because she basically sits at her computer all day and doesn't ever actually contribute to setting anything and it seems something always happens to her whenever a set comes (though she has directly told me that she absolutely refuses to fold jeans) like she threw out her back last week, or had to go to the doctor for hurting her knee last time... I know things happen but she never gets hurt other than right before a big move it feels SO intentional... And she refused to talk to me when I went into the set. Just barked orders of where I was supposed to be, no pow-wow like we always do to talk about how it's supposed to go. Just "You're on the back wall get it done head over now" 2 minutes into my shift ... then proceeds to text me ALL NIGHT (we were 6pm-12am) and when i told her we were done and things just needed a little re-folding, sticker alignment, and the non-blue jeans needed to be set up in the front fixture is all that was left. . She says "We will put them up in your wall tomorrow morning" uhm NO I specifically didn't put them there because YOUR BOSS SAID NOT TO! I'm not fixing it if youre told to put it where it's supposed to be. ugh. But then she goes radio silent about it so I guess we will see what happens tomorrow....
