I think I
could even handle working Christmas or Thanksgiving better than this. The weather is going to be gorgeous outside and I'm going to be stuck waiting on
people going to and from barbecues, the lake and fireworks. I'm going to be so jealous!
July 4th is the worst holiday for me to work

Yeah, I'm scheduled 5 days in a row starting tomorrow.

I'd rather work on the 4th than during the autumn/winter holidays. I hate getting together with my extended family, and I can usually avoid it then.

Five days in a row covering the holiday weekend IS horrible! Tomorrow is going to be busy since it seems like everyone has Friday off. Friday, Saturday and
Sunday will probably be slow but I'll be so jealous of people who are off and just roaming around in nice weather. I bet those days will drag too. Monday
will be super busy/stressful again. Not to mention everyday is 2-10pm! Ugh.
July 4th is my favorite holiday. |

I have the same schedule and work in retail and could honestly care less. We close early Saturday so I can't complain.
Just wish I could get paid an extra day for it. |

You'll be making sweet money. Have a party some other night.

Its because as far as I remember as an associate you don't get paid extra but I'm a manager and we basically get paid an extra day. Since I haven't
been there for 3 months they won't let me have it.
But by Labor Day it'll be fine. |
