Why do I bother?
This is the last time I'm ever doing a seasonal job.
This is how my work schedule was SUPPOSED to be:
Tues: 10-1, Fri: 10-1, & Sat: 9-12
How it turned out:
This is the 2nd Tues they called me early letting me know I didn't have to come in. Last week cause the shipment never came and this week cause they barely had enough shipment to break down. I worked today (Friday) and we had a shitload of boxes to take care of (me and another woman worked together for a change). By 11'ish, one of the smaller managers came to us telling us to stop what we were doing, finish putting up all the boxes we opened and to leave at 12. >___________< THEN she points out that we also need to take care of some of the gift set boxes before we leave too. Uhh...yeah...SUUUUUUUUURE.
For ppl who don't know, the B&BW I work at is a MAJORLY fucking small store. The stockroom is like a cubby hole to the point where we have to store things in the men's bathroom (don't get used anyways). This store has SUCH A MASSIVE EXCESS of products that doesn't get sold so much or quick and yet, what do we get in the fucking shipment??? MORE OF THE STUFF THEY DON'T NEED or AREN'T SELLING!!!!!!! Whoever working there that is handling this shit doesn't seem to know what they are doing. It drives me batshit INSANE!!!!!! The lady I worked with today went out to check the shelves to see what might need filled and came back to me in a fit (which I don't blame her). Some asstard filled areas of the shelves with nothing but lotion and left no spot for the shower gels. All day today/yesterday, I kept hearing some customers asking about the gels.
We pretty much ran out of shelf space in the stockroom to where we just stack everything on the floor regardless of where it should go.
Yeah, anyways, so we seasonal peeps hrs were cut cause they haven't been as busy as they thought they were going to be during the season. Sure they were packed on Black Fri but when I went to work the day after, it was so slow, I could hear some of them talking in my ear piece about how bored they were. (course my hrs were cut that day too). By the time all was said and done today/yesterday, I left almost at 1 anyways. The main manager chick also told me and the other lady not to worry about coming in tomorrow.
We also got our hrs for next week and I like to see if I'll actually get to keep the hrs I work. I'm to the point of quitting but I'm going to stick it out till the end of the month and just tell them don't worry about keeping me on till Feb. 14th.

Make sure you take advantage of your discount before you're done there, though. And the semi-annual clearance sale right after Christmas has some crazy deals. ^_^

So far I took advantage of my discount. The only thing that sucks is having money to jump in on the sales too with that discount. Thats the only time I'll buy something.
What pissed me off is how quick they start and end their sales. I jumped in on it when they had the Anti-bac soaps 3 for $10. I got 3 for me and 3 for my sis (so easy to get x-mas gifts for her that way). THEN a week or so later, they had 5 for (I think) $15. I was sooooooo pissed, I should've still bought from that sale cause I love their anti-bac. My sis got me hooked on the Kitchen Herb when I was home on vacation.
I was surprised when the one lady told me that for the holiday stuff, we get 40%. I should get on that cause I like the Van. bean and the cranberry scent. Plus the pine candles.

Glad you told me about that. I'll have to totally keep my eyes open for that.
