Why? Does he perform a function that's worth $20 an hour? If he left Albertson's, could he find a similar job for a similar wage? What makes him worth $20 an hour to the company? Time in doesn't cut it. This "I'm entitled because I've put in my time" shit has got to stop. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. - Yes, he is worth $20 an hour to the company...After 15 years of service he has saved COUNTLESS hours of labor that would have been spent training other replacement employees to do his same job, as well as COUNTLESS hours of hiring processes, that would have been spent getting someone else hired. He also is a trainer for new employees, and is very valuable because he has done just about every position besides managing. So he is a versatile trainer, and is also able to fill in for any employee who is unable to work their own shift due to illness, etc. Which, by the way, he does cover for other employees whenever he can. In fact, he's been covering some girl's overnight shift, as well as his own day shift, for the past three weeks. I agree that it's not just the time put into a job that counts, but the quality. And my brother gives 100% effort, and the quality of his work is 100%. I do repeat myself to you and skydiverrick...he damn sure does deserve the wage he gets!

I have a friend that has worked at Safeway for over 20 years. Why shouldn't he earn over $20 an hour? Exactly! My brother has worked at Jewel, an Albertson's store, for 15 years now and makes almost $20 an hour. In my opinion, he damn sure does deserve the wage he makes. He's not as high functioning as the general population so finding another job would be difficult and stressful for him. But he shows up on time, every day, does his job perfectly, and has to put up with asshole managers who treat him like they're better than him because they are no longer grocery checkers. He's always done what was asked of him, and realistically knows more about the store than any of the managers. He's paid his dues, and deserves that wage. A lot of his friends are in the same boat as him, and they too, deserve to be paid well. Anyone who puts in a lot of time and good effort at their job deserves to be compensated well, regardless of the job's status. ]

YEAH! What a blast my Pink Mafia jump was! Phyllis and Leanne were great, and honorable mentions to the pink muff Barbie who just barely made it through my jump. She was a trooper. Kept her pink disco arm muffs and stilletto heels on and all. Barbie really CAN do it all! Get business taken care of during the day and still look great for an evening out afterwards, huh? Thanks to all the PMS's for a blast. All ya'll ladies look me up in Eloy if and when you make it out that way! YEAH!

HA! Right as I'm reading your post Andy, Louie starts to bark. He's one mean mutha. I wish I had gotten a picture of you holding him like a baby. Suddenly things seemed so serene with Lou in your arms...well, if you come to Eloy for the holidays, maybe I'll snap a shot then. Keep in touch and let us know if ya'll come on over to Eloy!

Hey Rob, it's Ronnie's girlfriend, the one with the greyhound and the little terrior that likes to try and beat up Bear! I don't post on dz.com ever, but saw this one and couldn't resist...I don't know if you heard, but Ronnie and I are moving to Phoenix. Well, Ronnie's already there, and I'll be heading out in two weeks for good. We're gonna miss our new Hollister buddies (we just all met), but anyway, if a group of ya'll come out for the holiday boogies, or any other time, make sure to contact us, cause we'll arrange to be at Eloy on the same days!!! Same goes for all you Hollister peeps! It was nice getting to know you all, just too bad it was short lived...but hey, we'll always have Eloy And why aren't you guys... AND you too, Lizzie, going to Chicks Rock?????

Hey girls, I have a "small" problem...I just started skydiving and want to buy some good goggles. I HATE the little flexi things and want a good pair of real goggles. But I have a VERY SMALL head and face. In fact I have to wear children's eyeglasses and snowboarding goggles. Any suggestions on who makes small goggles that I could wear with my Mindwarp??? THANKS so much!!!!
