Maybe companies should stop understaffing their workers then. I worked in a theatre, and the payroll system was a joke. 17 theatres and 2 ushers assigned to clean them on Friday/Saturday nights. And people wondered why garbage just got shoved under the seat, hallway/lobbies didn't get swept of popcorn, and napkins/straws/butter were slow getting restocked.

that's not always the case. I worked at Wal-Mart and we were staffed properly, but a ton of people were young and chose to call in sick instead of actually coming in to work. Now, the blame isn't entirely on them, as Wal-Mart were assholes when it came to time off and scheduling. People would have Thursdays as the day they cannot work under any circumstances and Wal-Mart would schedule them for that day. They changed my shift the day of, and expected me to work 3 extra hours despite me telling them no. They also yelled at me because I brought a coffee in from Tim Hortons during Black Friday(I was working carts), because "If I'm not allowed to have my coffee then your not allowed to have your coffee".

I don't like to curse, but shut up B****, just because your moody in the morning doesn't mean we all have to be. I left work at 11 last night, and came in for 6, which is under the 8 hour minimum and your still getting pissed at me. I came in because the person who was supposed to be working called in and said he couldn't work. So I worked the previous night, and then proceeded to work 11 straight hours because they couldn't find someone, all the while getting written up and being threatened to be fired over a coffee. I reported her, and still nothing came of it, because the managers care more about the management staff than they do the workers.
