The less experienced clerk is 24 years of age, the other is 60. If you were to decide which candidate to hire, which one would you choose? Both applicants would need to be trained on store procedures and product knowledge but...

unclestan Hi sid556, Some good examples. Good to hear you have an open mind. It's good to hear that you would make the requirements of the specific position the key priority.... rather than age.

I have been making a little money on the internet here and there, but I need to make A LOT of money, like full-time income. I know that the only way that's going to happen is if I can refer a lot of people to my website and blog....

I worked 40 hours plus 18 1/2 hrs. overtime last week. I don't think I'm going to get paid for it. They normally pay me on Thursday. They said they would probably pay on Friday. Now they say there is a problem with their account....

unclestan You're probably right...it might be perceived as intimidation. Maybe just persistently following up is the best approach ....letting them know you aren't going to quietly go away. A glimmer of hope to report in my situation. Today I received a notice of an...

unclestan Hmm. Have you subtly mentioned to the couple that you are in possession of that bow and arrow? That you are highly proficient in it's use? And of course, have a highly volatile personality? Maybe they have over-active imaginations (watch too many...

unclestan Yes, it catches you off guard when there is no advance warning. I had to quickly sell some of my audio equipment to cover the shortfall. If you have any assets you're not using .... utilizing free classified ads or eBay may be a temporary solution to help...

I love the show but this is one of the things that bothers me. Why not have the favorite "couple" as the winners? Seems odd that a competition which depends on the dynamics of a male and female working in partnership... throughout...

unclestan That would be great if you did write to the show to provide some constructive feedback. Another thing I would like to see ... are the actual results (total votes for each contestant)televised.

unclestan Hi maezee, Thanks for your input! Just curious to see if extensive experience in retail is generally viewed as an asset or a detriment to a retail operation. For example if your store sold new technology i.e. cellphones,Ipod's and video games ... would you be...

Seems a little senseless that the contestant sings the same song that was trashed only 24 hours earlier. Not much of an opportunity to impress the judges. The judges aren't likely to suddenly rave about a song choice, they...

unclestan You make a good point about where they might use the save. I agree it should go .....or at least give the contestants a legitimate chance to showcase their talents. Maybe each contestant could have a personal favorite song prepared for their elimination night...

unclestan I just feel the process must have been frustrating for Alexis Grace. Here she is supposedly given an "opportunity" to redeem herself ....with the only tool at her disposal... the poor song choice, from the night before! Like being given another chance to put...

Did I hear correctly that the top male and top female are chosen first and second...then the next highest vote-getter is third? Is this system actually fair? For example...if three female contestants received the highest votes...

unclestan It just bothers me that "deserving" singers may be missing out,because of no fault of their own. Isn't the ultimate goal to arrive at the best overall performer? Maybe they should have two winners at the end.......Best Male and Best Female. Or have all males...
