All of our team leads were off last night. A pair of associates also called in, causing the janitorial staff to help stock shelves. The bare minimum of cleaning got done. A night or two won’t be so bad. Another week or two and we might not have any help left.

Danny Boy, the sequel
Any town big enough to have a Walmart has another grocery store. For people who get fired by Walmart, this gives them a second chance to show their worth. In some cases they confirm Walmart’s judgement that they are as useless as a bag of football bats. Our hero got fired by Walmart after lessContinue reading “Danny Boy, the sequel”
Is the promotion worth it?
I stayed late at work today because one of our two team leads called in and several people left early. Normally team leads come in two hours early and can stay two hours late or even more. Going home early is not an option. Even with a four day workweek, I have to rethink aboutContinue reading “Is the promotion worth it?”
Looking at a transfer
I was talking to one of the team leads at Wally World and he mentioned there were several team lead positions open in Indy and one in Coffeyville. The one in Coffeyville would be 1-10pm and involve what I was doing when I started at Wally World. I like my current job, but the raiseContinue reading “Looking at a transfer”
No need to advertise
At work there was a customer with a t-shirt that said “I (heart) mentally unstable women”. Dude, you don’t need to advertise around here. They will find you.
Mr. Attitude
We lost two more people on overnights last week. One thinks he can be a rap star and quit. The other became known as Mr. Attitude because he didn’t want to do anything you asked him to do. This was compounded by his complete lack of social skills or any other skills. He talked trashContinue reading “Mr. Attitude”
Getting through New Year’s Eve
My new year’s eve got off to a bad start as soon as left for work. It’s not a good sign when someone runs over a stop sign at the first intersection you come across and it is only 9pm. I made sure I took the back roads to work to avoid traffic after that.Continue reading “Getting through New Year’s Eve”
Black day after holiday
At Wally World we never got the big Black Friday crowds. But this morning we got the biggest opening crowd since we put the Halloween candy on sale half price. The Christmas stuff went out the door quickly. People are not going to pay the outrageous prices for non necessary food items. People I talkedContinue reading “Black day after holiday”
Back to work
After one day off for Christmas, I have to go back to work tonight. I get Wednesday night as my other night off this week. I should be more grateful I get a holiday off. The next two years Christmas will be baked into my normal weekend.
Christmas is just another workweek
I thought I would at least get an extra day off for Christmas. No, the schedule got adjusted. Instead of Tuesday and Wednesday nights off I get Sunday night off for my holiday, work Monday and Tuesday nights and get Wednesday night off. No sleeping in for me next week.
