While I had my weekend, Wally World had its first black Friday type sales event. Like those of the previous two years, it was a bust. I get tomiss the next one as well. All of us do have to be here for the actual Black Friday event, which the way things are going willContinue reading “Eventless days”

Bye-bye daylight savings time
After 16 years in Kansas following 23 years in Arizona, I just can’t understand the concept of day.ight savings time. Most of Arizona does not have daylight savings time. If you want to take advantage of the early sunrise, you simply went to work an hour earlier without bothering anyone else. The only reason theContinue reading “Bye-bye daylight savings time”
Keeping employees happy
With the economy as bad as it is, employers are trying to keep employees from leaving without spending cash on wages. Along with feeding employees occasionally and giving plaques for jobs well done, they recognize anniversaries. Because they have to deal with the trophy generation, Wally World actually recognizes one month and even one weekContinue reading “Keeping employees happy”
Free food
Wally World doesn’t pay that well, but during the busy season which started this week they do feed you. I haven’t touched my fridge in the last three days. Now it’s the weekend, I’ll have to familiarize myself with it.

One of my coworkers at Wally World actually said this. In forty years of work this is the first time I had a coworker actually say this. I don’t think she is going to last very long.

Fall Cleaning
Started the fall cleaning and realized I needed more storage bins. Fortunately Wally World had them on clearance. I also got some Swiss chard plants on sale at my favorite local greenhouse. Back to work tonight.
I hate Mondays
The bad thing about working in retail is the schedule. Hardly anyone working in retail works 9 to 5 Monday through Friday. In my case, I start my week on Thursday night. At Walmart it’s always Friday for somebody, just not me tonight.
Wally World sale
Many retailers, including Wally World got caught holding too much of the wrong goods and are having selective sales together rid of excess inventory. Ask me how I walked off with a 7 cubic foot freezer for under 400 dollars even after our outrageous sales tax. Most of the sales have been on the generalContinue reading “Wally World sale”
