I have never actually picked up shifts and don't recall everything I need to do for it. I can easily go ask HR or a co-worker on the details but I am wondering at most stores how easy it is to consistently pick up shifts?
Being on flow I am only able to pick one of the days I'm not working, and since I am getting scheduled for very few hours, and our days are never more than 4 hours(3 if we finish early), I am not bringing in enough income for my needs.
I was forced to move due to family problems and have been with a friend who let me stay free of charge till I got on my feet. However the current income is JUST enough to cover my part of rent/utilities and feed myself. Between an overdue phone bill and owing friends for their support after I moved I owe about $800 as of right now.
I can't even pay that back as of now and after paying that back I need roughly $1500 for a new computer and a plane ticket for a trip I need to make when available. Just a little frustrated that I keep getting scheduled for 12-16 hours after I remember our HR lady saying we were promised minimum of 20.
However, if I can consistently get 6 days a week by picking up the missing days in other shifts I should be able to save my target amount of ~$300 per month which would let me get the debt paid back and plane ticket purchased by my ideal deadline.
so TL;DR[: How easy is it to consistently pick up shifts for overnight flow for the days I am not scheduled?
