I'm a Best Buy greeter.
How may I help you?
*update*
So after working for about a month...
I'm growing increasingly irritated, and care less and less each time I go in. When I went in for my interview I specifically said, as well as wrote on my availability sheet, that I cannot come in on Saturdays at any time. The GM of the store who interviewed me said that not working Saturdays was just fine.
Great I thought, a dumb part time job that a chimp can do that will work with my hours :thumbsup:
Fast forward to now. They schedule these meetings that are "mandatory" almost every other Saturday from 7:00AM to 9:30AM. :roll:
I blew the first one off, and a manager was like "you missed the meeting." I told him I was aware that I missed it, and that if he checked my availability he would see that Saturdays have a big X through them. He tried telling me that it doesnt matter, these are mandatory :roll:
This Saturday is another retard meeting in the morning. This time I told the dickhead ahead of time that I have an overtime project at my full time IT job all day (which is true) and I cannot make it. He told me I "have" to be there. Yeah, I'll miss out on OT pay at a good/decent job to drag my ass to Best Buy for 2.5 hours making didly shit. I'll be right there.... :laugh:
On top of that, I checked my next weeks hours last night and they scheduled me for next Saturday evening. :laugh: Not just a meeting anymore, a full on 8 hour shift. I'm really debating just not showing up...
Oh, and they only sell Cat6 cables. I asked one of our "computer guys" why we dont sell Cat5e and he said "Cat6 is better, I know, I used to work for AT@T" I lol'ed.
