Still, I work Saturdays 9-3 and gross the same as staying 9 hours on another day. Saturdays are advantageous for me. I'm with you. I won't work Sundays. I'm not sure why comments are displaying twice right now. Yah, it was the managers looking it up on the wire for the optical gross sales.

I’m with you. I won’t work Sundays.

The corporate managers or other OD's? When I worked retail I found Saturday was busy from about 10 am to 1. Lots of no shows but walk in's usually made up for them. After about 1 people were busy and no-shows were high and walk in's few and far between. I think the eyeglass numbers and sales were big for the retail side but these are people bringing in outside scripts. From a numbers standpoint, the managers what you there on Saturday so they don't miss an eyeglass sale. I was even asked to work a Sunday here and there (I refused) and I think almost every state except Utah mandates Sunday coverage in lease agreements. I think it will be here in the next 5 to 10 years as well. In short, look at Saturday by the hour. I think you will find the same thing I did. David:
