I Work In Retail

Are most retail jobs understaffed? I seem to get called in a good bit because we are always understaffed and a lot of employees are not reliable. I feel like a chump for agreeing to go in so much but then I feel sorry for the managers I like being in such a bind most of the time.

See the reason I don't bother applying anymore is quiet simply that I know that people other people are not reliable so what it in effect means is I will not get any life to myself because I have open availabity so I will be scheduled to perform 8 hour shifts and no greater than 12 hours later be expected to go back into work which means I might be able to get home an watch a single episode of something 30 minutes long and then hit the hay, managers are often in a terrible situation and people like me are the sacrifical lamb they throw at the problem. Work life balance ? hahahaha.... i could be their hero but I'm not willing to be that devoted.
