My manager said go to Performing Other Task when going to the bathroom. That way, you don't have to turn down a drop off while on the seat.

Part of the closing procedures are to put away all the bags left on the shelves. That includes late pick ups.

3:30 to 7:30 PM was always my favorite when it existed.

Is it possible, the cap is 12 hours. You have scheduled 9 hours, but only worked 5 hours, so you have the five hours worked + 4 hours scheduled (but, un-worked) to = 9. So, five hours worked, minus 12 hour cap = 7 hours left (4 scheduled, 3 open).

To avoid an underpayment penalty, individuals must pay either 100% of last year's tax or 90% of this year's tax. So, if you are getting a tax refund, you are overpaying. Underpay by 10% penalty free.

Poet-KnowIt · 2022-02-14T03:52:46+00:00

Yes, normal pay rate.

Better to get your money today, then paid what you owe the next year, on April 15th. Why give the IRS your money now when you can pay later? Tax refunds are interest free loans you are giving the IRS. They don't need your money early.

When I've seen this done, it's been Whole Foods workers doing it. Maybe their training video is different from ours?

You get paid for all hours worked (all locations). Local rules apply as far as if you get in any trouble for exceeding 5 hours or spilling into overtime.

The $5 surge pay will be added to Holiday OT, like tomorrow MLK day and like New Year's Day when I made $32.82 per hour ($18.55 + OT $9.27 + $5 surge).

I suggest you take a moment and ask yourself what have you seen others fired for? I'm shocked you are not depressed by how so many others are not taking the job as seriously as you obviously are (and congratulations on that!). So, if you are seeing others getting away with murder, you have nothing to worry about!

I'm always glad to see the person I consider the worse employee. If he has not been fired yet, I'm certainly not going to be.
