Pros

My husband gets 10 days leave for Christmas and we planned to go see family but my boss tells me I'm not allowed to request off over Christmas. That everyone has to work. I think it's BS! How can I get around this? The employee manual doesn't say I can't request off. I need this time off.

Cons

I don't want to quit

Dusty sometimes and some of the stuff can be gross but that's just part of working at a thrift store, having to handle that stuff
