As most of you have written the job I hav...

Has anyone ever been sent home early? Tonight the managers went around and asked if anyone could go home early, I told them I couldn't be done by 8 but I could get out of there by 8:30. I left at like 8:20 leaving one person to close up for the night. I was told sales were down and they needed to cut back on hours...

I thought we were to get pay raises with this contract starting 3/24 but it says my pay rate is still the same as before. Does anyone know anything about this? Figured I'd ask here before I ask union rep

My shifts are pretty much open-ended and sometimes I have to work late afternoon/early evening. Of course this also means I have to deal with the lazy kids.
