lol no.. we're not open on either =]

I really don't think I'd be able to rock up to work on those days anyway.. I'd probably be passed out somewhere..

I honestly wouldn't mind working on the upcoming public holidays. I could do with the money ...and I don't have much planned for the next few weeks anyway.
Unfortunately because my store is inside a Westfield, it isn't open for Boxing Day. Hope I get rostered on for New Years Day though :| I clearly have no life....
Really?
I work at Target in a Westfield and we are open 9-6 Boxing Day.

I hope I work boxing day, it's unimportant to me and as such could use the $20/hr

Oh, oops. I was meant to say only the major department stores are open that day.

Is stores opening on new years day a new thing? I could have sworn last year all the shops in my area were shut, no matter what size. This year they're all open!

I'm working 11 - 3, and am the only staff member besides the managers. God damn I hope the penalty rate is huge and there's no customers, because I'll be ratshitted from the night before.

I think I'm working 8 hours on Boxing Day and we get paid double time for public holidays. I've rostered off New Year's Day though... psyched for a huge party on NYE.

I've got 8-6 on Christmas Eve & 7-6.30 on Boxing Day...though I'd like to sleep in it's really not that bad considering $29 an hour..an easy $300+ in a day :D
