    Party of free choice???

    So whatever happened to the idea of: If you don't like a place, don't go there? I mean, it's pretty simple idea in my opinion. If you don't like your work environment, don't work there. Anyone else find it ironic that some states are increasing the tax on cigarettes to help fund public...

    How to stop this from happening...

    So I called up HR today and they said I completely have a case (Wow, HR siding with me). Apparently this guy has had so many complaints I can't even go through our HR Case Manager and I have to go through the Regional HR President.

    He claimed that he had figured that out when talking with HR about another employee. He didn't say anything further. I told him I was not going to discuss it since or do anything today since(I've written up many people and I know how things work) another manager wasn't there to witness it all...

    According to the handbook, a doctor's note can be requested (but never was) at any time. He then told me that even if I had gotten a Doctor's note, he could still write me up.

    Haha, let me rephrase. Anything I can do LEGALLY? I'm actually considering seeing an attorney based on principle alone...

    How to stop this from happening...

    Well, I have actually documented EVERYTHING that has happened over the last 2 1/2 years that was either questionable (legally) or downright illegal and unethical in case anything happened to me. Anything I can do with that? Or just satisfy myself with a nice little read every time I'm too...

    How to stop this from happening...

    So today, I got off of a 13 hour shift (retail employee) where I was scheduled for a 1 hour lunch. I also live in virginia and have worked for the company for 2 1/2 years. At the end of my shift, my boss pulls me into the office and tells me I'm being written up for two things: 1.) I...

    UF student arrested at Town Hall with John Kerry

    It's definitely interesting to watch just one video and formulate an opinion. After watching all the videos, you can easily tell that the police were in the right. Now, I don't necessarily agree with him being tasered, but the police really did give him plenty of time and opportunity. I mean...

    Federal Exise Tax on Cigerettes and Cigars

    I already know MANY people who have resorted to other means of getting their cigarettes without paying high taxes. Generally, online, you can get a carton for $15 shipped. For heavy smokers, that's a huge difference in cost per year.

    Back to School Suggestions

    It's Staples haha and we're mainly going to be selling school supplies. Walmart/Target would be the closest I could think of, but they're going to have wayyyyyy more staff and business than we are.

    I can't really do that, however, maybe have 1 register for check users or post a sign asking people not to use checks?

    It wouldn't be as much work since there would probably be around a 24 hour turnaround time. This would allow the nightcrew or the daycrew (during downtime) able to collect all the items.

    Back to School Suggestions

    Oh yeah, from what I've seen, it just works better. That, and when a register goes down, because it's back to school time and I know it will, it will create less problems.
