“Then everybody quits and y’all have to run a shift with 3 people,” one user said.

“Be having like 7 cashiers on a tuesday morning but 2 on Saturday,” another wrote.

“Swear they send mfs home when it’s not too crazy then when it start jumping it’s like 2,” a third added.

Others complained that their jobs under schedule for “important” shifts, leaving just a few employees to handle the busier hours and closing.

“Always scheduling Hella people on the slowest days,” a commenter vented.

“THEY LET EVERYONE LEAVE WHEN ITS SLOW AND THEN 3 PEOPLE LEFT ON RUSH,” another said.
