do I have to listen a guy that everyone calls one of the "unnofficial seniors" in my department?

Question: This guy acts like he is the boss of the entire geek squad at our best buy store, but he is not even an official senior. He constantly asks me to do things, when he is not busy himself. He is not any higher of a level than I, he is just much older. I am 24, he is 43. We do have an official senior in our department that is good friends with him, but do I need to take orders from this guy?

I guess he "used to be a senior" so he is some sort of unnofficial senior now.

Answers:
Sounds like it's probably best to act like he is senior to you, especially if the rest of the staff do. I'm not saying you should suck up to him but unless you get a counter-command from the 'official senior' you can't really tell him where to get off. It depends how much you need your job - and maybe promotion.

If you are a new worker there it is a good idea to follow the example of the other workers.
