Half my store quit all in the same day (including the manager!), the temporary replacement thought I quit, so I get a week off. Go mass quittings!

Then when you come back after your free week off you discover that the temporary replacement already replaced you because he thought you quit and you're now fired.

Hooray for getting $140 worth of fireworks (banned in Australia) for setting off during my 4th of July fest here in the US!!

Boo the the fuckwad politicians in Illinois that decided that I cannot set ANY of them off while visiting my firends here because: (a) I dont have a $1 million insurance policy covering personal damages; (b) my friends do not have same; (c) actually banning most of the items I purchased in LA, MS, MO, and IN on my way back to IL (including bottle rockets.... wtf I cant set off little fricking bottle rockets!!)

.. so basically I have a crapload of fireworks in my car that I cant set off tomorrow.... theoretically


Fortunately, however, my friends are some of the most senior officers of the local State Police, and Air Force National Guard... and they've got even more stuff than I have (most of which is even more illegal than the bottle rockets I got)... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

The cops here don't care if you set off fireworks on any major holiday.

It's one of those laws that only gets enforced if the cop's having a bad day.

I'm not sure, the only information I get is from a guy who rents between 3 and 6 movies a day. He says that Nikki (the manager) got pissed off at the district manager, probably over wages or the fact that she isn't the nicest person alive, and got everyone to quit. I heard that they all got jobs over at Movie Gallery.

I have never set off any illegal fireworks here in IL. Nope. Definitely not last year.

Edit: the cops only really care if some neighbor calls the police on you. As happened last year D: They didn't get confiscated though. Just told us to stop.

The mall I work in is about 40 miles outside of Vegas. I get to close, which means I get to drive home through Vegas during one of the biggest party nights of the year.

If it was over wages, it was probably over a raise, OR... they changed it here recently, so that they no longer give raises after 90 days of working. Maybe that's it!

Fucking Hollywood Video. It's hard enough to hire people around here as it is...

I bet Movie Gallery pays better.

Thats like SOP for most places, even if they are not corperations. I mean that 90 day's raise is usally a pissant one like 25 cents.

I have to be at work at 4:30am the day after a holiday weekend, and I was not made aware of that fact until 6:45pm the evening before. I may roll into work with a fucking shotgun in my lap.

When you start at 5.25 or 5.40 an hour, you'll take whatever you can get.

I worked for $5.25/hr from 6pm to close! rockin'!

Fortunately we started the closing routine (which takes an hour easily) at like 8:30 and were out of there by 10:30. We lock the doors at 10 on weeknights.

July third was ridiculously busy and our manager predicts it will have been the busiest night of the year.

Last night was like the slowest night ever. It's crazy, because I was thinking that putting out the new releases would take awhile, so when I did the close out I just clocked us out at 1AM. But an hour before close I gave my GSR a fresh drawer and when we finally locked the doors at midnight (okay, 11:50, sue me) he only had like $10 in there. Our Monday night guy is crazy, so he had all of the new releases out in like 10 minutes. We ended up leaving at like 12:15. So basically I got paid time and a half for 45 minutes that I didn't work.
