They're supposed to be opening the new deli and bakery section in less than a week. We've been told they need to hire at least 15 more people in order to run the place smoothly. How many have they hired so far? Zero, and they said it would be four weeks before they do anything about it.

I found out today that this practice is WRONG. People with more seniority (based on hire date) are being screwed out of d...
I posted awhile back about certain cell phone stories. Here is a new one going on at my store: We got a new manager about three months ago. Very nice older man, but an absolute idiot.
