ALMOST "wriiten up" By Sam Luckily I have a sense of humor and laugh at the silliest things. Yesterday I really really didn't want to work over my scheduled time at work. I even expressed the fact that "No How Now Way No I do NOT want to stay over at work. "Plezzzzzze, we're desperate, we'll dance at your wedding."  So................ This Morning one of the big bosses and the personnel director walked up to my cash register. "Do You Realize that you worked SEVEN HOURS without a Lunch Break. You better watch your hours or you'll get written up next time."  After the bosses left, the customer remarked "They should be glad that people are willing to work." "And their point is..............." I chuckled while ring up the lady's purchased. Eventually the shift ended and I drove myself home. "You are home early." Mr. Joe remarked. I told Joe the story and he had a good laugh too. So I did what I was told even though I didn't want to or even have to do it and get into trouble for it. Oh Well! Nobody ever said that Life is Fair. Mr. Joe works in Management and says it's not good management to reprimand an employee in front of a customer. Dang! I am just a humble associate and even I know that. They are building a new Wal-Mart at Zion Crossing. I think I'll become management and transfer over them. So............I counted down the Cash Register - Thirteen Thousand Dollars and only four cents off.  Abracadabra  |

Star....the typical American response to working your fanny off....no matter what you do, management can find fault with it. I agree with the customer. They should be grateful they have associates like you.

Kinda makes one wonder what Sam Walton would have to say about today's Wal Mart. I read where he would sometime go to a Wal Mart as a regular customer. Would have been interesting if he would have been behind the customer you were waiting on and heard the personnel manager say that to you in front of a customer.

wal-mart and others have run up against the law for having employees working off the clock... which is where your lunch time would fit in. i was also told i had to take my lunch break - from a different employer, but for the same reason. they don't want any labor issues... funny how that works, right?
