If a pharmacist manager is supposed to take all the responsibility (even if they're not working that day), how come the pharmacist manager blames everything on me all the time?

I'm literally only an intern. I'm not a registered pharmacist yet.

I've noticed that if i do a mistake, i get told off (rightfully). But if an actual pharmacist makes a mistake and I'm involved, I get told off. If a pharmacist makes a mistake and I'm not involved, no one gets told off.

The pharmacist manager is just taking out their stress on me, right? Because deep down, the pharmacist manager would know that in a court of law, everything that happens in the pharmacy is their fault and they can only try to convince the judge that it's the intern's fault.

In any case, I don't want to work here any longer.

The other pharmacists dont have anything to worry about, because the pharmacist manager never blames them.

But I get blamed all the time, so I should leave before things get worse. Because the manager has shown me time and time again that he will not hesitate to throw me under the bus.

I see job ads for rural pharmacist manager positions that say "newly registered pharmacists welcome". Would it be a bad idea for newly registered pharmacists to take this position?

I reckon it's hard for rural pharmacies to hire and retain pharmacists. So that's why they mention in their job ad that newly registered pharmacists are welcome.

But wouldn't a newly registered pharmacist struggle in a pharmacist manager position, because you need to manage a rural pharmacy.

The salary is good, but is it a bad idea?

The responsibility would be high.

Is it normal in aussie work culture for a senior staff member to click their fingers at you? Is this what I need to accept to get a paycheck?

I'm the intern. I've been here for almost a year.

My boss has yelled at me at the top of her lungs on multiple occasions in front of staff members. Clearly I should've resigned after the first few times she yelled at me. But I'm still here. Anyway, my boss has stopped yelling at me. She is now just criticising in a normal toned voice. She calls it constructive criticism, but the way she criticises me is very dragged out and unnecessary.

Anyway, another senior staff member clicked her fingers at me. I was not expecting for her to do that. She had her fingers right up close to my face, about a few cm away. And then she said, "come on!!! Hurry up!!" I felt like a dog.

After my boss criticises me, she calls me good girl about 10 seconds later.

Since my boss hasn't yelled at me for a few weeks and it doesn't seem like she's going to yell at me again, do i just put all of the yelling in the past, as in put it behind me and forget about it.

My two options are to quit or to stay. If i stay, I won't be yelled at anymore. But I will definitely have to listen to my boss criticising me every now and then, but calling me good girl in between.

I can't just quit my job because i need a paycheck. I'm worried that I'll get picked on like this in future workplaces.

TLDR: is a senior staff member clicking their fingers at you, and your boss giving you constructive feedback (but it sounds like criticism) just normal aussie workplace culture and banter?

Edit: small independent business.
