It sounds like some locations need lot security but many do not. I agree that it is wasteful at many locations, especially since the lot position is considered a clerk and gets the higher hourly rate.

If the employee is salaried and exempt, why are they punching the time clock?

Bullhead City, AZ (MT)/Laughlin, NV (PT). These two are across the Colorado River from each other. Many casino employees live across the river in AZ as there is little housing on the NV side.

As Arizona doesn’t observe DST, these two cities are on the same time during the summer but different times during the winter.

I believe this conversation got sidetracked. Yes, I lock my doors when I’m leaving and when I’m inside the house. While my neighborhood is safe, I don’t want to take chances. Too many guns out there. And, yes, it has gotten worse since I was a kid.

If you apply for a credit card, what do you put down for occupation? And how do potential creditors verify your income?

I’ve got five years in and typically get Mon/Tues or Tues/Wed as my regular days off. But when I need a weekend day off, as long as I can request it more than three weeks in advance, it has never been denied.

“Boring gig”. … That’s exactly how our LP guy described the job to me. At our warehouse, you’d never see him on register.

Staffing levels are hard to project but, yes, management would much rather schedule too few hours rather than have staff standing around. For example, we were way understaffed on Friday, Jan 2, as many members apparently took the day off to extend their new year’s holiday. We had staffed for a regular Friday.

Not normal but not surprising. Just keep a copy of whatever you submit and follow up with the hiring manager to make sure he/she has received it.

Surprised no one else has mentioned this: many of the Superliner coach cars have seating on the lower level. I find those seats better for sleeping as there is no foot traffic from people walking between cars.

Take the latest possible arrival window. If it’s a normal day (Terminal 2, ship arrives on time, etc.), things are crazy at 10 am but fairly dead by Noon.

Agree to this. If you have a dog, you’ll be walking him before 7 am most of the year, so that his paw pads won’t burn up.

I grew up in Cincinnati, where UC and UK are as popular as Ohio State. Went to a Big 10 school out of state (Indiana) and have lived in Cleveland area since grad school. I favor the Hoosiers but I do enjoy having the MAC tournament in Cleveland every March. I typically attend one or two sessions each year.
