then I totally have the right to complain. 😉 Getting that holiday pay makes it easier to swallow, yes? ✅

Holiday pay? Yeah right...doesn't generally exist in the world of retail/customer service.

Well, I work at Gamestop now, and we're not open on Thanksgiving and Christmas so I don't need to worry about that and the only other 'holiday' I care about is Halloween.

But when I worked at the movie theater, we always had to work holidays and got nothing extra for it. But then again, who gives a shit about the part-timers? There was a ton of us and if someone left, they'd be replaced within a week.

I also worked in a coffee shop which was pretty much the same way. But then again they also expected me to be able to do everything normally when I came back after getting in a car accident and was told I couldn't lift anything heavy or do anything too stressful...

well, you get to hang out and play free games all day, thats a plus. That reminds me. I am looking for a copy of the original Tekken for ps1, and a copy of the original MGS for ps1. What are the odds of me finding these games at gamestop or gamecrazy?

Gamestop, almost completely non-existent. Very very very few stores carry any PS1 stuff anymore. Game Crazy, chances are a bit higher as they do still have some older stuff but most Game Crazies are shutting down.

Best bet would be to look on Amazon.

And I adore my current job 😛

I like the older Tekken and MGS games, better storylines, but you get crappy graphics. Tekken 2 is my fave, I got lucky and found that one at gamestop.

you know I am a Dante freak. 😛

also, is it just me, or did the last two Onimusha games suck?

DMC4 isn't out yet, I don't know when off the top of my head (don't like DMC and thus don't really care), and it's going to be PS3 and 360.

Tekken 3 is the best 😛

And I've never played Onimusha so I wouldn't know.

Tekken 3 is great, but 2 has the best storyline, IMO.

Never played Onimusha? Its like Resident evil based in fuedal Japan..GREAT game, 1 and 2 anyways.

Just in case there are peeple around here that are not familiar with all of that...here is a key:

PS1 Play Station 1
DMC4 Devil May Cry 4
MGS Metal Gear Solid
PS3 Playstation 3

You've got to watch out for this video game nerds....they speak in code.

Halloween? What a joke, of course you're expected to work then, everyone is.

Basically, if you want stability and flexibility in a job, you need qualifications to get it. If you haven't worked to get them, either start working for them, or, stop moaning.

I believe it's called, venting.

When there's a clear solution to a problem, or the person has previously not done what is required to avoid the problem; I'm not interested in reading about it.

My advice: get a diary.

oooooooo..I have one.😊

Note that I had holiday in quotes when I said Halloween. Nor was I complaining about working on that day, my point was I don't give a damn about most holidays (Easter, Labor Day, New Years, etc). I just think it's a fun day.

And I'm a college student working a part-time job to pay for school. I've been working towards those qualifications for a few years already.

And as I've said, I love my current job. I left the movie theater two and a half years ago because it was not worth the hassle. And 'flexibility'? That's the one main advantage of working a part-time retail job - because it IS flexible. I can rearrange my schedule as I need without a single problem.

So, er, try reading before complaining.

Today was a god day.
