Well the pay for one thing, because I have been there for 1 year, 7 months, and 9 days, and I only make $8.00 an hour. And that’s only because of the law. The always changing schedules. I used to have a set schedule every week, but then all of a sudden, my boss starts changing it on me. I put my availability as cant work past seven pm, but for the second week in a row, I have worked till 8:30pm on Monday, and 10:00pm on Wednesday. I also wish i had more hours as well. I'm also not being recognized as a valued employee. I'm afraid that if I quit, no one will notice, except for a select few. My best friend would be one of them. I so feel unnoticed there, that it’s not even funny. And the really not attractive uniforms. No customer really cares what we wear. We could wear clown suits and they wouldn't care. Aprons, and then whatever we want underneath would be a perfectly fine uniform. For example, Lowes and Home Depot. I also don’t like the, "no jeans" rule. My old boss didn’t mind, so when we changed management, I kept wearing those same pants. But apparently I was wrong and got in trouble for it. The only problem was, I was the only one who got in trouble. Even with our green shirts and black pants, customers will still ask me, "excuse me ma'am, but do you work here?" My best friend said she gets asked that same question as well. The "no cell phone on the floor" rule annoys me as well because what if there is an emergancy, and we cant access the store phones? Tehn what? We are asked to keep our phones in our lockers, but the combinations to the lockers are kept in the managers office, and the door is rarely closed when not being occupied. So theft is another reason why i dont like that rule. I would understand if they said, "we prefer that you dont carry your cell phone on you, but if you must have it, then at least turn it off." I would be perfectly fine with that. But unfortunately, that is not the case. My other issue is with the breaks. We only get ten minutes. I believe we need fifteen. Home Depot gives fifteen minute breaks. And today my coworker took a 21 minute break and didn’t even get into trouble for it.
