Yeah, thank god we had amnesty for calling out. There was no physical way for me to get to work Saturday or Sunday. Even today my neighborhood is pretty yucky

I let my store's phone ring for a few minutes. They'er not responding.

it's 20:00 ans nobody is answering the phones.

I did. They're open.

Yeah, definitely. I'm in VA

We'll see- it's still snowing hard but it's supposed to stop tonight. Basically if I can make it the first 1/2 mile, I can definitely make it to work, but I have a LOT of digging to get to my car and my neighborhood isn't high on the list to plow. Plus the people my apartment complex hires to...

My store did not close and we got about two feet of snow. I'm on the fence about going in tomorrow- my state's department of transportation says stay off the roads, but it will have stopped snowing and the major road I take into work is a high priority for plowing.

Thanks guys! I don't think I'll need short term disability- the inpatient part of my treatment (if any) shouldn't be more than two weeks. Once I switch over to outpatient, a lot is going to depend on how well I tolerate the treatment. A lot of people are able to work, but some have side...

Thanks. I don't mind sharing the details with an outside agency and I'm sure they'll approve the request- I just don't want to deal with the rumor mill at work. I should find out in a couple of weeks if I have to go inpatient or if I can do outpatient treatments instead.

I might need to spend a couple weeks (give or take) in the hospital soon. I really, really don't want anyone at Spot to know why. I don't want to disclose my doctor's specialty or the name of the hospital where I will be treated and I especially do not want anyone knowing what sort of...

I'm supposed to work CO on saturday morning, go home for 6 hours and then come back and work a closing GSA shift. I'm guessing at least one of those three things is not going to happen.

The problem is when the guest has three dozen items on their receipt that would have cartwheel savings. If I don't do wrong payment (which is a bad idea for the reasons listed) I have to go through, calculate the discount from each item, add it all up and do it as a missed coupon. All this...

I used to have a boyfriend who didn't even know how to *check* the oil in his car before he met me. Yet I always had to take him with me to get my car worked on because we lived in East Bumfuck, Texas and mechanics would either constantly lie to me or flatly refuse to speak to me.

Good morning and welcome to Jill of All Trades' seminar on how to get a reasonable schedule at Target. Today, we will be tackling a tough phrase. For some reason this phrase is very difficult for most TMs to master, but it's worth the work it takes to get it right. Repeat it to yourself in...

I don't doubt that you are speaking the truth here, but that really sucks. TL opportunities are scarce, and being expected to "stay loyal" to a store that is basically giving you TL responsibilities but no pay vs. a store that will hire you as a TL is ridiculous.
