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...

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. Well one evening lazy kid comes in and tells me that I only need to worry about the corral furthest away from the lobby. I get there to discover that...

My store continuously schedules us for closing Midnight and opening the next morning at 6 a.m. When we complain, we are treated like there is something wrong with us and it is a big pain in the a__ __ to have to redo the schedule.

It seems like every night at least 6 or 7 times i will try to stock something and find the wrong item where I need to stock something. Does this happen at any other stores. I have talked to the department he...
