Working at Super America is like being in the military. It is.....follow me on this one. Ok, the longer you work there, the more pay you get and after one year you get whats equal to a cheveron. S.A. employees have a strict dress code, which they keep changing so that you have to buy new stuff.....it's like a firkin uniform. AND THEN......and then there are all of the stupid little rules and guidlines that covers everything. Most of them are made by some old guy in an office who has never actually worked behind a register, thus has no idea what it's really like. So when this old dude makes a rule that says we cannot eat or drink in the checkout area, he doesn't realize what it's like to work for 8 hours, standing up, with nothing to drink. It's not like you can continuously leave the area to go get a drink.....it just doesn't work that way......Now, lets look at the army. As time passes, you get higher in rank and get a symbol for that rank. Also, you get more pay with the new rank. Then theres the uniform. You have the basic B.T.U.s which you use all the time, but there are the special uniforms that you use only once. Like the mess dress or whatever. The military also changes it's policies on headgear, making the old stuff obsolete and useless. I'm not even going to comment on some of the Military's rules and guidlines..................
Anyway.....that was my thought as I sat at work (or stood, that is). ONLY 3 MORE MONTHS TO GO!!!
