Going crazy...

One of the employees decided to not show up for work on Friday and has not come in since. It must be nice to be able to screw everyone else over and not care. Now everybody else's schedule is screwed up and no one can get a weekend off all summer.
I need a new job....

One thing I have always hated about retail is the turn over. Most places are always running short and slow to pick someone new up. Meaning somebody else is always picking up the slack and paying for it in personal time.

Yep, bc of the turn overrate I now have to drive to a store that is 30 mins away from my house when I was working at one that was only two minutes away.
Wish they would pay me the difference in gas....

i never call in. well, i called in one morning when i was puking everywhere. but i never call in (been here little over a year), my coworker never calls in (there's only two of us working here), so i never have that problem. i have to cover his shift sometimes due to his golf/college schedule, and my boss is very adjusting around my school schedule, so all in all i'm happy. though my boss does sometimes leave randomly. heh.
