Honestly, you've got to trick your employees into doing their jobs half the time these days. The challenge is to do it as cheaply and discreetly as possible.

I've jacked around at work when there aren't customers to attend to but when I do my job I do it properly. I hate cleaning up after people who do a half ass job because I'm some what of a neat freak/ perfectionist.

Maybe, just maybe, if they paid more then 5.25 an hour, someone would be motivated.

Other then a kid, who can live on that type of money?

Not all jobs start at minimum wage, Kh. Even people that get fair amounts more than that will jack around and such. Besides, who's going to give you a raise if you're not doing your job the way you should be doing it?

Agreed.

I guess my problem is more about the government needed to raise the minimum wage more then anything else.

Honestly, minimum wage should be handled in local government more often, the same flat rate does not work across the country.

What enables you to live well in Southwestern Virgina would have you on the street in Southern California.

...Minimum wage is different everywhere....



It's 6.50 here.

5.15 here but for the thing about security and all that shit, it's 4.65

Yeah, ours just went up from 5.15 I think. Or it might have been 5.45 before..

Unsure.

i hate my islands political system.
You people in the US drive WAY better than us.

I've been told that I'm anal on the job quite often from my fellow employees. It's true though, I am anal about the way I do my job. As soon as I punch in, you'd think I'd have OCD or something along those lines with the way I organize all the drawers, separate the coupons from the bottle and coinstar slips, organize all the lotto tickets that have been redeemed by size, stock the cigarettes and actually enjoy doing all of that with a smile on my face...but that's just the way I am. I find it hard to function in a work environment that's disorganized and where plastered smiles and ass-kissing are an everyday occurance.

I though i was the only one who smiles at work....erm....Ignore that comment.
You do all that and still keep a smile on your face?
Your starting to scare me, oh well! I scare my self!

i love old people at work

Ha. There's this greeter at work named Bill. I was in the learning center with him one day while he was working on re-taking some learning CD's, and I was looking over his shoulder while he was doing the "Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace" disk.

Haha...

"Bill, you're so going to fail this one."
"It's a miracle I passed it the first time."


Anyway, I have to keep busy behind the service desk, because where it's positioned at the front and center of the store it feels like everyone's staring at you when you're doing nothing. Working up there has given me slight paranoia.

Just stick a phone in ur ear and pretend like ur talkin to someone.

Or paint eyes on your eyelids, and sleep:)

LMAO

but what if you suck at art?
