i work retail and the only thing consistent about that is that i have two days off in a row

it could be a sat/sun or a mon/tues or however you want it set up but it doesn't bother me that it's not consistent because i know i'll be getting my 2 days off and that's fine with me. :)

When I worked retail, I don't know how you got assigned your two days off but it was retarded. They would together one week, split, then together a few times, then split a few times. It was some formulated bs they were using, and it never rotated to a sat/sun unless you raised hell, or did like i did, and just gave yourself an entire weekend off. I convinced them I requested off for school business (it was actually going to install another chapter but they never would have given off for that), and after I assured them it was school business my supervisor wouldn't let upper management write me up.

My husband and I work 4/10hr days now, (9:30-8pm). It's really tiring, though. They wanted to give us both the long weekend (Fri. or Mon.) off scenario. That would have been preferable. Instead whatever day he has night classes that 7 week class period becomes our day off because he has to be there at 6pm. So every 7th week our schedule changes, but we have most weekends off unless we have to switch some hours around & work part of the day on Saturday. Other than it being a long day, I have no complaints. :)
