I'd like to thank :P Fry's for having three straight days of  "One Day Only" sales on days I had to work.

actually, it was actually kinda smart on their part in my opinion, that way they didnt have to worry about all of their epic sales from 5am to 11am on ONE DAY ONLY.

if anything, you should "THANK" your job, for not letting you get the time off u wanted. [jokingly scarcastically, not in an offense way by the way]

and really, each day the most you could 'legally' work is 8 hours, so your say you had no time wat so ever to shop? in a 10am to 9pm time from? unless you somehow works 12+ hour shifts...

I totally call shenanigans on you sir. :P

Yeah, but I work from the mid afternoon to midnight (and worked overtime as well), pluss i had to deal with getting parking, traffic, and the fact that there was no Fry's on the way to work (closest one to me is in Industry, twelve miles the opposite directionof work).

And to be clear, you can work past eight hours if your employer wants you to.  However, they have to pay you more for it (from eight to twelve hours, it's time-and-a-half; from 12 until 16(?) it's double-time)  That's why most employers don't want workers putting in more than eight hours unless there is really good reason (like working Black Friday).  Of course, the skeezy ones try to have you do it off the clock (which then puts it into illegal territory...WalMart got taken to court not that long ago for that kind of thing).

well, im sorry to hear that your work gave you so much over time.

I used to work in HR for over 5 years, so im familar with the policy and procedure...

that and i also know about several companies that try to be shady on a regular basis and thats not even considering the holidays.

unless your job pays well enough for the time used up, better luck next time? or maybe there will be other opportunities. :)
