Why use military time?
Dec. 16th, 2003 08:58 amReason #712
On my schedule, today was listed as 7-12AM I had Sunday 7AM-12. I showed up at 0700, and began work. Then found out an hour later that I was supposed to have come in at 7:00PM (1900). So now I'm going back for 3.5 hours tonight, probably to just restock and recover.
This is why military time makes sense. Had my shift read SUN 0700 - 1200 and TUE 1900 - 2400, there would have been no confusion. Another cashier made the same mistake, but she has a lot farther to travel, so she's working the morning shift. Leaving us one short tonight.
Tonight I get clarification on my remaining shifts. And suggest that they find a way to make these things clear.
(Have a I mentioned that all out alcohol sales sheets are still in 19__ format for the date?)
