Hoping for some clarification. I am a part time employee who generally works longer shifts. In the past I was able to take half day PTO and it still comes up as an option. I don’t get a lot of PTO so this was a way to take off when needed. Did this... — read more
When is the next closure list coming out?
Why are they leaving us in the dark. They should have already announced the next round? One would think no news is good news but with the way business has been there is no way we are safe.
No water.
Hot and humid with temps in the 90's and the store A/C struggles to keep up. Now we've been advised to 'bring our own water'. No water deliveries until the end of July in our store. (sigh). Not clear what the reason is, but the end result is the same... — read more
