[QUOTE="MostHelpNeeded, post: 4161586, member: 66806"] This. This 100x...and no one seems to get it here. Times are changing, and changing they are. Retail locations are disappearing. More and more stores close every year. Shopping online is becoming more of a necessity vs a luxury. When I buy on-line, it's because it's something I can't run down to Walmart and grab. If I can't get it at Walmart, there's a good chance I can't get it anywhere locally. It's a lack of options. And most of the time, if I'm buying something it's because I want it. Listen, it's not 1995 anymore. If I order something on a Thursday, I don't want to wait until Monday...or worse, the middle of next week to get it. Especially when Amazon will get it to me the same or next day. Why would I? We might not like it, and none of us want to work weekends, but that is reality. No one wants to wait anymore, and why would they? They don't have to, the option is there. It isn't going away. We either change to accommodate OUR market or we get left behind. If you were running a business and picking a shipping service, you'd want one that wouldn't handicap you at the end of the week. If we don't deliver on weekends, that's exactly what we'd be doing to ourselves. It's becoming an industry norm. Sucks for the frontline worker, but it's reality. With that said, I think we need,as a company, to seriously take a look at work schedules. Monday-Friday just doesn't work anymore. I can't speak for anyone, But if shorter workweeks/longer days were ever proposed, I'd be a serious advocate. Sun-Tuesday and Thurs-Sat shifts at 12/hr per day and split Wednesday down the middle between the two groups [/QUOTE]
