"I don't want to speak to a part time worker"

Where I work, that might be a problem especially at night. Most of the employees are part time.

I am the only who thinks that with the present WORLD-WIDE down turn most jobs available for the next few years will be part-time only?

I know that in South Australia the number of full time jobs dropped by 25000 and the number of part time jobs went up by 40something000.

I'm going to Home Depot where a REAL MAN with knowledge of grills can help me!

Good luck to the guy with that one.

This is something that really bugs me about retail.


People demand to have their own personal butlers. They also demand to have this kind of service while shopping at places like Wal-Mart.


IT. DOES. NOT. WORK. THAT. WAY.


If you want me to be your personal butler, fine. I have absolutely no problem with that, provided that I get the pay and respect of one. On the other hand, if you're going to pay me a starvation wage and treat me like a piece of trash, you're going to get the bare minimum of service. I'm going to do just enough to not get fired, beyond that, I can't be arsed to care.

You get what you pay for. The reason why products are so cheap these days, particularly in big box retailers, is that the employees are paid a joke, treated like little more than retarded monkeys. They're not going to be experts on the topic. They're not going to care about your petty needs, beyond avoiding getting fired.

If you want an expert, you're going to have to pay for an expert!

Your store actually got info booklets, and (I assume) the customer could pick them up themselves? Interesting! Either my store got them and didn't put them up with the floor models (I'd not be surprised), or they quit giving them out by the time I worked there.

They'd usually be gone about a month into summer, which is why I grabbed them as soon as I knew they were up. Lots of stuff in that store I had to stay alert for just so I could make my job easier. Like...I swear I was the only one who kept up with posting recalls, or studied the things. Or handled the 'paid and left' merchandise correctly. (You were supposed to log it in the computer AND the book--most people did one or the other.)

That was probably the only good thing about closing every. single. freaking. Sunday. I could spend two hours getting things back in order so long as I kept out of the MOD's sight--most of them liked to grab me away from guest service to go fold tables, so if they noticed me, I never got to finish my own work.
