Unprofessional supervisor

Hi,
I've worked at a community organisation for a couple of months. But I am getting fed up with the unprofessionalism by a particular supervisor.
Two supervisors came up to me as we were closing 'the shop floor' which had a team of colleagues and members of the general public saying that the third supervisor was looking for me like it was a state of urgency. The woman in question came up to me and said 'why did you take an extra tea break on christmas eve?' This was very strange as this was almost a month ago and nobody has raised this before. I haven't stolen time, taken additional breaks or anything else for that matter - and most worryingly of all I was away that time out of London for christmas (this was approved by the management team). I felt embarrassed that she conducted the conversation on a public floor and not upstairs in a discreet place. I told her that I was away before christmas eve, and that my pay is only deducted for lunch breaks so I don't need to put tea breaks on my timesheet (that was confirmed by her manager!). The day before she only mentioned feedback from someone that I come in too early which could cause a health and safety issue. Any advice?

She sounds like a jobsworth. I would be asking her have conversations like that in private. Personally I think I'd ignore her, if you are in the right.

Can you change jobs easily?

Further to the earlier post- you could raise it her her Line Manager. However it's often not worth the bother. Alternatively, wait it out until she moves on

I've had a talk with her in private. She's apologised multiple times. I said next time hold the conversation in private. I didn't have a timesheet for that date approved, and I had my leave approved from 22 December, returning on new years eve, so it's really weird that a manager raised the issue with her. I was furious.
