Anytime they do something like that and insist you do so much whether you know it's going to sell or not, somebody is gett...

Is it acceptable? I cannot for the life of me pronounce one of our manager's last name. I thought of paging him over the intercom as Mr (Firstname) but everyone in my department acted horrified. Now I just say "any available manager" when I need to talk to him and sometimes I get a manager who i...

I'm sick today. It's gotten pretty bad over the last few hours and it seems to be getting worse. Luckily I was off today, but I don't see myself getting better by tomorrow. I'd rather just call off tonight and not have to worry about waking up 2 hours early to call off tomorrow morning. Do they give you a ha...

Yesterday I saw a paper that said, that in a 12 month period, you only get 2 "free" call in instances. Doesn't matter if it's for the weather, for being sick, anything. After that, on the 3rd call in during the 12 months, you get a warning. After the 4th one, you get talked to about it. After the 5...

Do they write on your schedule when you're bumped, or what? Are you supposed to ask someone if it was approved?

Have you guys heard about it? We had a couple of punks in our store do it. What they do is pretend to trip while holding a gallon of milk, and slam it into the floor so that it bursts.
