thanks for your replies ladies. I have filled out my availability sheet when I first started, but apparantly weekends is all the hours I can get I spoke to the 2IC yesterday while at work and she said to go directly to the store manager and find out if there is anything that can be done, which is what I might do. Its just a shame that I have to take it that far iykwim.

I have put in for a weekend off in march and all hell has broke loose now because they can't find anyone to fill in for me and the deli manager will have to do it, the poor thing (*read, who gives a cr*p). She actually said to me "oh I guess i will have to come in and do it, even though its not my weekend to work". I just felt like saying to her, well be in my shoes who has to work EVERY single weekend!! grrrr that made me so angry.

I really love working there, the ppl are great and I have made some good friends, but the hours suck!
