No bag was provided for it?

Depends on where you are. In San Francisco it's hard because they're really crowded. In la some of them you have to pay. In Stockton or salinas they're not as crowded but you might get shot  :D



Wow,I don't think I'd want to push carts in California. They'd mistake me for Tom Cruise (that was the nickname they gave me in Garden City Park)

You could carry it in your pocket but that would be too heavy to be in your pocket.

There were probably some of those... but I also noticed that the "30 years ago" thread in the 1980s section somehow got erased, and I know that you and I both contributed to that one. It has now been restarted.

Man, I hate when that happens.

It's even worse if simultaneously ripping open bills (and trying to light them on fire with your gas stove) you decide the only way to console yourself (and your papercut eye) is by making your own Buffalo chicken wings and hot sauce and garlic salt end up in your eye.  :\'( ;D

They all said they weren't avail to cover....  I was looking at a being stuck in here for, at the very least, 38 hrs!  Thank god the one who I couldn't reach called me at 7pm and said he'd be in so I only had to work the 14 I was scheduled for.

Yes. But not at path mark. It may sell those things but not high end versions people are looking for deals on.


Yeah looking at the weekly ads it's mostly food.  Since most people shopped for food prior to thanksgiving, and most are planning on eating leftovers on Friday, their energies will mostly be spent on finding deals at department and electronic stores.

Kmart
Walmart
Macy's
Sears
Jc penny
Target
Best buy

Those are the kind of stores that will have most of the activity.

What Philip said...  Howard the managers are there to manage problems that arise. if something bothers you you should bring it to their attention so they can handle it.


Personally I would've told the girl to sit her ass down but maybe that's just me.

happens to me with everything I own on VHS... I know it's on a tape somewhere but none of my tapes are labeled and I have a few hundred of them so it'd take me hours to sift through them all...


dyhiw you think of a project you'd like to work on, like organizing a couple hundred unlabeled video tapes but you just can't seem to find the time to do it.  I need at least two month of uninterrupted time!

You complain to the management not the girl, you went to BK to eat, not to lose your appetite.

why are you complaining that it was warmer than it should be... I mean you hate the heat and you hate the cold so a mid temp should be just right for you!

Les Misérables In Concert-the 10th Anniversary.

The other day, I was talking to my sister and we started talking about it. Come to find out we were talking about two didn't shows. Little did I know there was a 25th Anniversary show and little did she know there was a 10th Anniversary show. I love the 10th so much but I put the 25th on the queue at Netflix but I wanted to watch the 10th (and play it for SIL who has never seen it) but couldn't find it.  :\'( :\'( :\'( But, yeah, I did download it. Now, I have to wait until the 25th comes up on the queue which will be a few months (there are a bunch of stuff on there before) which is fine because even though I could watch them back to back, I'm sure Hubby & SIL wouldn't want to.


Oh, SIL really enjoyed it. And if you have never seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it. (You can watch clips on YouTube-or get them from Netflix) It is a very powerful performance. The singing is just outstanding. And be prepared to cry. I can't watching it without bawling my eyes out.

unfortunately, other than the fact that I really do enjoy the Castle on a Cloud song, I've never had much interest in Les Mis. :-\\

I'm just talking about the temperature outside not the way I feel about it.

It was probably not properly presented to them as a safety concern. If it was presented to them at all

This is a total guess but Howard, have you told the manager you'd like to speak to him/her about a potential health hazard?

Having said that^

The truth is Howard exhaust fumes are a known hazard of the job so you have little leg to stand on.

With regards to the smoking, is there a designated area for the smokers to smoke? If so, try staying away from there as much as possible when people are smoking and make it a primary focus when the smokers are not there.

Can I assume that there is no trade union involved here?

Were health issues mentioned when you applied or had the interview?

He has a union.

He has a union.
There is the answer.

There is the answer.


It's not like he can claim that he was unaware he'd be inhaling exhaust fumes or that people would be smoking outdoors. He's did the job for 2 or 3 yrs at another location and did it at this one for the past year.

Bur, if it's really an issue, he should tell the manager he's having difficulty and request they provide him with a mask. If they won't comply then he could go to the union.

The question is will he do these things?
