*is impressed* It needs a lot of courage to go back to work on the 1st day of the year.

Hey kat, nice to see you poking around! And, you have to use up your leave hours for a holiday like the New Year's?

well the way our work leave works is that our leave for holidays is built up with our regular leave... so they don't have to pay holiday pay if you have to work, because you still get the day off... you just might not get it on the day of the holiday

Well that's cheap, you should be home today, not at work (which I saw as my husband is getting ready to go to work at Wal-Mart *sighs* )

And that's the way a lot of hospitals work Jea... if they didn't then they'd have to pay a BUNCH of people holiday pay... because hospitals can't shut down

Ah that does make sense i suppose. And yes, Wal-Mart is evil, hubby is desperately trying to get out of it!

by chance, there's still no wall-mart here in Belgium ^_^

 

I don't know if there are any wal-marts outside of the states *shrugs* It was definitely something to get used to while I was in Spain. I actually had to go to just a grocery store, then just a clothings store, and I didn't mind at all lol

I don't mind wal-mart. My wife got 25% off an entire purchase for working Thanksgiving morning, along with holiday pay. The discount saved us about $60 on household items and gifts that we were going to purchase anyways. Individual wal-mart managers, however... maybe not so much.

Don't you leave!

That percentage off was nice for getting Christmas gifts, but the way most customers treat cashiers on a daily basis, especially during the holiday season, just flabbergasts me!

Good to see you Kat!!  *clears throat* In the words of Walter...."Welcome to Wal-Mart...."  And I'm sure you know the rest. hehehe, sorry couldn't resist.  I hope you had a great holiday time for Christmas and New Years, even though you had to work.

well, if i go once to the US, i'll have a look at that famous wonder XD
