tbirdistheword
My job's dealing with this right now cause we had a bunch quit and they let too many people have vacation, couple people have a 6 day week
FFFS
Plot Twist : It's an employment office.

Look at those damn Mexicans taking away jobs again.

Only in the deep south.
MrSmilingDeath
Knowing DG like I do, this literally could have happened at any DG in the US.
NirvanaNik
Fair enough
Rayjuss
This isn't that bad. Trains here in England cancel because of driver shortages. They announce it too
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
That's that kind of All-American work ethic that is being stifled by immigrant labor.
Strostkovy
The metalshop I work at occasionally does this.
Blamblam101
Because of the eclipse.
ProfessorYaffle
At half 5?
cookiebody
They didn't even lock the door when they left. The police had to go and escort customers out of the store.
MrSmilingDeath
Worked at a DG for over 2 years. Got fired for a mistake made by a brand new assistant manager. Then they tried to say I made a scene.
MrSmilingDeath
I literally just grabbed my stuff and left without saying a word. Hardly a scene. Teared up a bit because it was my first job, but just left

Yea, we don't all want to admit that we are in Louisiana
promdates
I spent a couple weeks there after Katrina. Town was mostly nice. Had a Walmart. That's about it. :(
lazyassCajun
Sweet little Louisiana town- just...yeah...haha
ClitMuncher69
@OP you live in VillePlatte? I've got family in that shithole
FirstPostMcGee
Lafayette. Close enough.
headabroccoli
Hey, at least the fishing good.
beaubrent
I think it is great stores close for life sometimes. There are more important things to life from time to time.
ilikecamels
completely agree. From what I hear Europe is much better than the US about this. There's some stores/restaurants here that literally only
ilikecamels
close once or twice a year. Like fuck
angrybook
I had a woman scream at me because I opened the doors at 8:01 instead of 8:00 the other morning. Not my fault every single person was late.
TheJonatron
Was it too late to close them again?
beaubrent
I moved to Belgium and learned quickly that stores close at a decent hour, it shows life is important. 24 hours creates expectations.

That's a summation of the entire welfare dependent population of California.

And here you are, working really hard on the Internet...

Automation expert. Just have to sit here and watch my processes run and play on the internet all day to collect a check. :)
shtposting10101
That's really cool that you're able to look down on everyone because of your job. I wish i was able to be that kind of asshole.
KittenLifter6
Wait, so as long as your name is hired under a company its ok to just sit and do nothing?
jbaker734444
When I can automate just about anyone out of a job & save the company a salary, benefits, training, and the results are always correct. yes
DrewBerg
So you actively cut people out of jobs then critique their laziness of not having a job. Good job buddy! You're an asshole!
MaplePhoenix
...and nobody want to grammar, either

I can do you a better sign... for money

No that is just Ville Platte
fistermatic5000
It's ville Platte. It's about as Cajun as you can get. For many English is their 2nd language.

Beat me to it lol

I've been seeing brief store closing due to coverage where I live, and in other rural areas. I'm not sure it's just laziness...

I imagine the traffic in those areas is also going to be nuts. Imagine having to drive through all that to get to work.
talkingmonkey89
8 bucks an hour? I would rather hunt and gather..
SquirtleSquad420
Pay your workers more they may be more inclined to cover a shift on their day off.
SquirtleSquad420
Or be able to retain employees that don't call out in the first place.
PrincesssButtercup
There's a store in my town that has only three employees. Some days they have to close it down because they don't have anyone available
notme222
It might even be an emergent rational decision, if they don't make enough during those hours to be worth incentivizing with more pay.
gizmoismycat
This! My family owns a business and it's a mix of no one wanting to take shifts in the summer and evening hours not bring in much money
lazyassCajun
This is my hometown- I can say that it's most likely just laziness. This is literally the worst store there.
TheLetterKay
A lot of little stores are understaffing their closing shifts which is pissing people off in my area. So they just close early to have time
TheLetterKay
To clean up and do all closing stuff. I'm agree with them.
tomatoboy
...but rather a combination of laziness in some instances and a combo of better jobs and JIT scheduling in others. Mostly the latter...
tomatoboy
...as I've heard a lot of bitching about people rejecting shifts offered on 0-30 minutes notice.
d0o0o0d
Less than 24 hours' notice to come in on a day I'm not getting compensated for being on-call? I'm busy.
bayardthebloodhound
It's probably a mixture of both. Good employees get tried of covering for the lazy ones.
LikeTotallyNotTheNSA
Q: If jobs allowed employees to come in whenever they felt like it but required them to work 8hrs, how consistent would business hours be?
tomatoboy
It depends on the job and industry. Many office/knowledge type jobs no longer depend on strict business hours. Anything customer facing...
LikeTotallyNotTheNSA
lets say it was the "rule" for all business, do you think it would naturally stabilize? weird question but always wonder what others thought
tomatoboy
I think there are hours most people prefer working, ignoring outliers, so yes, it would probably stabilize. Plus, there are hours people...
tomatoboy
...prefer doing business/shopping, and likewise if those shifts were somehow more desirable (higher pay), it would stabilize. However...
tomatoboy
...or industrial in nature typically will require employees present at set times. That's pretty much obvious. My comment was about JIT...
tomatoboy
...scheduling, not about flexible schedules. Obviously, retail workers need to be present for a store to be open. However, the trend...
tomatoboy
...has been for companies to adopt just in time (JIT) scheduling, by which employees are often given little notice they need to report...
