In 'delivery', yes, but not 'managment.' I thought I posted that I was trying to buy a franchise. For that, I have to go through the management program, and then save up a butt-load of money.
To clarify, I've been working 'inside' at this PJs the last couple of months, and delivering at a little indy shop (working about 70 hours a week total). While I'm working inside the GM is starting to teach me how to open/close, work the computer, make deposits, dough management, etc., so that when I get sent to Towson for 'certification' I'll only have to be there for a week.

"...and they wouldn't get a fatter paycheck for the time."
No, but the store would be better served overall by one AM who knows her stuff than by two if the second AM has a penchant for slacking off on the job anyway, right?

Yes, but the store would still require a third manager who would be able to cover shifts, so there isn't much of a choice on their part. Really what it amounts to is 'Greg' works a shift, then 'Jane' or 'Kristin' comes in and bitches him out for the lousy job he did, and then he starts moaning about how he wants to go home, and then I have to do all the shit he didn't do while he whines and cries.
Did I mention he had 20+ jobs one year? And was proud of it?

I'm not 100% certain of his reading comprehension ... besides, even if 'Greg' really read this, I don't think he would recognize that I have been clever enough to substitute 'Greg' in place of his real name. 'Greg' would probably tell me the next day, "Hah, that 'Greg' sounds like a real loser."

'Greg' requested off Superbowl Sunday, one of the five busiest days at a pizza shop. So, because our GM and AM are such nice people, they agreed. But then he called out on Monday, and 'Jane' agreed to switch her Saturday closing shift for 'Greg's' Monday opening shift.
Well, come today (Saturday), and 'Greg' tried to call out. "Oh, my girlfriend's grandfather died, and she needs me." Okay, nevermind that he's already called out one day (to cover for his football related hangover, no doubt), now he's trying to get out of his coverage shift, which would mean he'd be getting 10 hours over on the store's labor (he's paid a very high amount of salary with the expectation that he'll work 50 hours per week).
Anyway, our GM called our DO (Director of Operations), her direct boss, and the guy who hired 'Greg'. Well, he's been none too happy with reports on 'Greg's progress (i.e., opening late, changing his clock in and out times), and it looks like 'Greg' may finally be on his way out ... to be replaced by me (except since I'll be a "shift leader" which means I'll be paid hourly, but also means I don't have the extent of the responsibilities, or the requirment to work 50 hours a week)! Anyway, it'll just be nice when he gets canned ... I can hardly wait ...
