Big ****ing deal, I work six days a week from now until New Year's. No days off. Only have Sundays.

Oh, no overtime. I don't get paid at all for extra hours worked, actually.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

There is hope.

Due to state laws, stores in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and Puerto Rico will not be open on Thanksgiving Day.


But not much.

Instead Kmart and Sears stores in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island will open at 12:30 a.m. on November 29. Stores in Puerto Rico will open at midnight on November 29.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Why is "World Class" capitalized and in quotes? It's like they don't know what it means; they just heard other people use it and so they're treating it as some kind of regional colloquialism. How do you maximize gross margin dollars? What the **** are gross margin dollars? Why not just say, "sales"? How do you train and coach a report? Aside from printing it out, there's not much else you can make it do.

I maintain a no-troglodyte policy for job applications, so unfortunately I'm going to have to pass on this rare opportunity to enchant and delight the K-Mart shoppers of Annandale, Virginia.

I have heard many corporate types talk like that for many years. It never ceases to amaze me that they really don't understand that they sound like complete nitwits. I honestly believe that they think that kind of illiterate jabber makes them sound smart.

Fortunately for me, I don't have to shop for Christmas gifts, as my family members and I don't exchange gifts on Christmas anymore.

I like to surprise, Service and delight my Member every day. Maybe I'll go into K-mart and do it there. That would be a Black Friday they wouldn't forget for a very long time.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Prolly not a great place to work.

Owned by Sears, or vise-versa. Neither of them are doing very well. Neither is expected to survive much longer. If you've been in one of their stores lately you know why.

When they go under you'll have to hunt up another job and pray you get your back pay. Better go go with a more successful employer right out of the gate.
