Is United putting customers health at risk??

[Okie]

I've tried to tip them in the past and was refused. I think that they are not allowed to accept tips. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

You sound like a angry parent or something. Did you poor little baby get fired. Maybe if kids wouldnt lie about being sick they wouldnt be short handed. Ive heard complaints from other kids that work there about that. They say there sick then you see them out on the town. Thats why they are short handed...Makes the ones that have to work mad because they have to work extra time.

You know in bigger cities and military bases most people tip the worker who helps carry out the groceries. Might not be a bad idea here.

They don't allow the employees to accept tips/

I am not a mad parent, and my child didn't get fired. I am sure that there are some who call in when they are not sick, but you really shouldn't write the ones up who are really sick. I continue to think that United sucks. I will not shop there. My money is better off spent somewhere else.

How do you know that they are writing up sick kids unless you are the manager. Otherwise its just hearsay. Did you actually see a kid getting wrote up. Probably not.

[really]

why are we just talking about kids that work there? i know of at least a couple adults that work there that call in sick and are worse than the teenagers that work there.

indeed, i'll bet it would be best spent somewhere else. you're less likely to get roaches in your groceries if you shop elsewhere, too =P

You can get roaches at any store. Thats gross but its the truth. They come off the boxes of stock. So do spider and mice too. EWWW Scary. I guess we shouldnt shop anywhere. Then we could avoid all the bugs & rodents.
