rant: so, work has been slow, which is usual for this time of year. shop owner decides to run some specials, one of which is "half off all oil changes with coupon". we all think its great, maybe get some more customers in etc..... this was 2 weeks ago they came up with the idea, and yesterday it went into effect. well, today we are told "oh by the way, you guys are only getting paid half of your time for oil changes as well".....what in the literal FAWK is this ****? i went off..... im so pissed right now. I realize it doesnt sound like much, but an oil change isnt just an oil change, it includes tire pressures, test drives, a FULL vehicle check out(basicaly a safety inspection) and we would normaly get paid .6 of an hour, now we get .3 while this sale is going on. boss says "oh its only about 6 dollars per oil change".... whats it to them to give us the 6 bucks?!? :rant over
