Got the job.

Well, not quite. It's at a different market than I mentioned here . But it's pretty much the same--union job, with good pay, excellent benefits, and other protections. The bosses try to schedule shifts for the benefit of the workers rather than the store, because they know that happier employees benefits the store. They also keep the shifts pretty much the same from week to week, with minor adjustments.

Pretty happy right now~



Edit: thanks everyone

I'm in a Union shop grocery store. 31 years. If you know what your schedule is ahead of time, you can plan your life around your work schedule.

Duh, corporate a$$holes!!!!! especially WalMart.

"Write if you find work."

Guess you just did.

Just got back a little while ago from the year-end concert. I've got to be up before 5am so good night and good luck.
