I get tired of hearing that line over and over. "Oh, you're off already? Lucky you. I wish I could go home at 2."
And then every time, their attitude changes as soon as I tell them "You want my schedule? I come back in again at midnight tonight."
People really need to just learn to appreciate what they have. Working 11am-7pm every day is not all that bad. It's certainly better than constantly having rotating shifts extremely close together where you barely get any sleep between them. Though I guess as they say, the grass is greener on the other side.
i'd rather have rotating shifts than work crappy 11-7s all the time.... ugh that wastes your whole day, it's dark when you leave and unless you get up at 5am, you spend your whole day at work.
but i like variety too much even if it means going in close together.

I just love these new hires who come in and they're like "I was told by human resources that I would be working mornings", and the ones that get mad cuz they have to work nights. We just tell them to get over it its a union job, seniority rules.
I'm in Drug/GM and most of our department has either 7am-3:30pm or 8am-4:30pm shifts (30 min built in for mandatory lunch), no one in our department EVER works past 10pm. At our store we virtually never get called to work the front end either.

In some cases it happens. I did get a few morning shifts during my stint. Best shifts ever not even because I had the rest of my day but because all the snotties come out after 5. Only had to deal with the little old ladies who wanted their 10 slices of meat and go home.
I still think that a full-timer should work at least 1 night shift though, especially since they liked to bitch about the night people not doing their jobs...yeah, it was 2 of us, both with 5-hour shifts doing a job that ideally 4 should be doing. It is what it is though.

The thing is those full timers used to work night shifts. So they already know what it's like. One of the perks of being with the company for so long is having some freedom on what time of the day you want to work. Someone who has worked for the company for a few years has no right to complain about a veteran of 15 or 20 years or longer of never working a night
Depends on who you are. I used to do the rotating shifts (leave early afternoon, go back at midnight... work til 2am, etc) I honestly really liked it because it worked with my schedule.. a few years later it didn't work with my school schedule at all and it got annoying and I eventually found a better job.
Generally new people know they'll be working later shifts.. at least I always made sure they did when I was service director years ago. maybe it's different now, idk.
For a while at my store they wanted all full timers to work 1 late shift per week. not everyone did though so I don't really know where it went lol
