That's what I'm saying.
I know somebody that worked for Home Depot a good 15 years. They gave him stock in the company and he used it as collateral to buy his home. What other retail outlet is going to treat it's employees that well?Originally Posted by Chux

I've been giving this a lot of thought recently.Originally Posted by Chux
I have a feeling that I can get away with doing next to nothing there for a few paychecks before they catch on.
The store is huge... like I couldn't find somewhere to hide and take a nap?
I've also heard CostCo treats their employees right too.
You don't have to be smart; you don't have to know the facts, you just have to be confident.

I'd assume so, it took me 30 minutes to find a folding chair the night we were camping out.Originally Posted by Josh
I worked at Babbages for about a year in 1998-99. I had just gotten out of High School and was still living with my parents, so for a low paying part time job it was O.K. The best parts of the job were the discount (25% back then), being able to bring games home for free, and the occasional gaming-educated regulars who I could chat with. Everything else about the job was crap.
I've been working at a grocery store in the dairy department (Giant Food in Maryland) for almost five years now. I get paid decently, have great benefits including really cheap medical and dental insurance, and there's always plenty to do during the day so my time at work usually goes by really fast. I work eight hour shifts that just seem to fly by, and I remember those four hour shifts at Babbages lasting forever.
They require full-time employees to be ready to work all day everyday. If they call you up and you can't show up, you're gone. That's the only negative I remember, apart from the ridiculous amount of time you have to be in-training in front of a computer.Originally Posted by Josh
But yeah, you can take a nap. I clocked in and then went to Burger King for an hour a few times and no one knew.

In my district, during non peak-seasons (back to school and Christmas being peak seasons) management was always scheduled five 10 hour shifts, 8a-6p or 2p-12a. Peak seasons were more like 65-85 hours and that included shifts like 4p-4a. I once worked 4p-10a. Needless to say that was enough for me. I jumped ship as soon as I could. My total time there was a little over six months.Originally Posted by Chux
Though I will say, if I would have been single it would have been VERY difficult for me to leave. And I'm not talking about just looking.
