I'm just about fed up with work
This weekend at work the boss decided last minute that we were going to have a $9.99 haircut sale to attract more business. You wanna know what a haircut sale attracts? Cheap people who are only there for the price and won't be back until there is another sale, who sometimes don't tip. Which doesn't bother me (unless I'm already having a bad day), unlike a coworker of mine who said: "what's up with cheap ass pieces of shit thinking it's alright to not tip? especially when were doing a promotion where they're saving $3 anyway. scum!!" on a public social networking site. What if the boss saw that? I was kinda apauled that a few of my coworkers liked her status. I may agree that not tipping on a discount price (and in general) is lame, but that's uncalled for.
The boss decided that we'd do the sale Saturday and see how it went to determine whether or not we'd continue the next day. We ended up doing the sale Sunday as well. We're only open 10 - 3 on Sundays. 5 - 5.5 hours, so we never take lunches. 2:50p rolls around and he calls to see if anyone can stay till 4 b/c he wants to keep the shop open an extra hour. I tell him that I don't know the other girls schedules, but I can ask them if they can stay. Around 3 he comes into the shop, stocking us up on supplies, I think, and people are still coming in for haircuts. Normally this is when we'd say, I'm sorry we're closed and rattle off our hours. But since the boss was there, it's not like I could do that, so we kept taking people till 4. We didn't clock out till 4:20. 3 out of the 4 of us went over 6.5 hours without a lunch break. Thanks for breaking CA Labor laws boss. >.< And there was no way that 3 employees could each take 30 minute lunches on that short of notice.
It was a good thing said employee from above wasn't working Sunday. I almost wish she was. But I'm 98% sure she'd bitch about it when he was gone instead of to his face.
Needless to say, Sunday sucked. I was so tired, my legs ached like I had the flu, I was so hungry, and I couldn't think straight. Normally 6.5 hours of work would be fine, but that extra hour threw me off b/c I expected my day to go a curtain way. If I had gotten a lunch break, I think the day would have gone better.
Yesterday my manager got an email from the boss saying that he wants us to do the $9.99 promo for the next 6 weekends and that he wants us to stay open till 5 on Sundays. My manager was dreading telling miss-complains-about-everything about it today. My thoughts, watch she requests every Sunday off or early while the promo is going on. And if not, I know she'll bitch about it then entire time. Me, I'm happy to get extra hours.
None of us are thrilled about having to stay till 5 on Sundays. BUT this coming weekend it poses a problem b/c it's Memorial Day weekend and the schedule has been up for about 2 weeks now stating that sundays hours will be how they normally are, 10-3, and he wants to change them to 10-5 without taking into consideration that only 3 people working that day, which may not be enough people to cover a sale like this. Plus it's ... fucked up to say the least ... to expect people to stay 2 hours later than scheduled on a holiday weekend when they might already have plans since, like I said, the schedule has been up for 2 weeks already.
