  • Have you got a cloning machine in the back?

    I got up to a message from the store today: "Hi, I know you're already working, but would you like a 2-6 shift in the front of the store, sanitizing carts?"

    I have no idea how that was supposed to work, since my shift at the register runs from 4:30 to 8:30 ....

      Well, then, I should've taken it ... we close at 9 p.m., LOL, so it would've been a damn easy shift!

        2-6AM would have had a few wrinkles as... *Bang bang bang* "Hey, are you open? Why aren't you open? You need to be open. I just need a few..."

          I assume sanitizing carts involves using a spritzer bottle of some sort. When the customer bangs on the door, a spritz or two in their direction should convince them to leave.

          Hey, it works on cats.

          On the other hand, cats are smarter than those customers.

              Speaking of clones, I am reminded of a video I first saw back around 1986, Clones In Love.

                    I once had a manager who considered putting a reference to Bill Watterson's Scientific Progress Goes "Boink" in a memo about staffing.

                      I once said to my manager "I don't mind working a double, it's the being two people for one hour that I can't do".

                      See, our schedules ran Friday to Thursday. The manager had a habit of posting the new schedule when he arrived on Thursday morning. He also had a habit of doing the schedule at home (where he didn't have access to the current schedule).

                      I was available for any shift, but almost always worked overnight.

                      The shifts were oddly staggered: second shift was 2pm to 10pm, but of the two people working overnight one worked 10 to 6 and the other 11 to 7. And of the two morning people, one worked 6 to 2 and one worked 7 to 3. That last was the manager's preferred shift.

                      So, when I worked 10 to 6 on Wednesday, I left before the manager arrived and posted the schedule.
                      And when I came in to work my 11 to 7 on Thursday, I found I was also scheduled to work 6 to 2 on Friday.

                      "Why didn't you call me?"
                      "What were you going to do about it at 11pm Thursday night?"
                      (The 10-6 guy worked a 10-7 so we had two people.)
