We all know that some emergencies are bound to happen, but let's get serious. I happen to work in a restaurant and a liquor store. Well on Christmas Eve(a very busy day in a liquor store) the other girl that was supposed to work had some one call and say that she was sick...she told me the day before that she didn't want to be there but I digress. Now this morning three people called out. Seriously people? Then wonder why they don't get many hours. These jobs are not the bomb, but plenty people would love to have a job. Your Thoughts?

Calling into a job and lying saying your sick or making up some other excuse is so wrong. The last job I worked at I called in ONE time in a year that I worked there because I had one of my seizures and I literally could not work. I warned the job the day I started that I do have seizures and that would be the only reason I would not come in if it happened...Other than that I never called in and I would never lie about being sick or anything else! I think it is a very immature thing to do...And your right, my husband would LOVE their job right now since he is having trouble finding one!

I know how it feels when you are tired of working and just want to take an extra day off. Sometimes working so much is really stressful and not healthy of course. But maybe they should have been more thoughtful of their co workers. They know better if they leave someone working alone in a store in this busy season, it would be very stressful for that person who's left alone.
