Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

I can't say anything nice here about that...
Sorry, I can't bring myself to type the words Cast Member.

Re: Clocking Out (Possibly for good)
The cast member was still officially on the clock and therefore was supposed to be in his work location working, not making private purchases. He should have waited until he was off the clock before buying the tickets.Goofyernmost wrote:I know I'm not a CM and therefore don't have a need to know, but I really don't understand what was being said here.

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

Re: Clocking Out (Possibly for good)
I would imagine in this case, since they pulled him up on CDS to look, that it wasn't an innocent mistake. And I would like to assume your situation is fairly rare.kurtisnelson wrote:And this is roughly part of what caused me to voluntarily leave the company, except in my case since I manually clocked in and out it was a typo.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Clocking Out (Possibly for good)
Is it possible that the CM got an ER that didn't make it into CDS?

Re: Clocking Out (Possibly for good)
Anytime I was ERd, I still clocked out on CDS.

I doubt that as normally if you work in an area that uses CDS you clock in and out on it as well.Amphigorey wrote:Is it possible that the CM got an ER that didn't make it into CDS?
