I have been trying to figure that out for myself, I guess that you have to be that way yourself if you want to make it. Maybe that is why these DMs are such pricks! I will add that it is not just in retail...............

If you haven't, you should watch "Les Miserable"......one of the originals in black and white. I swear by every thing Holy, it is a training video for DM at Family Dollar and SM's and ZM's at Lowe's.
Dirty &%*)^^%$# stand around watching people suffer and refuse to get their hads dirty. |

| Here's more news on the lawsuit. Family Dollar is appealing to the Supreme Court. Can you believe these people? They already lost three times and are still trying to win this thing. They are so stupid! |

| A link to a story? I can't find anything on it. It makes sense for them to try to appeal it though cause this won't be the first payout. Some Managers are already filing suit now so what does FDS have to lose by appealing it? |

Supreme Court lets stand $36 million Family Dollar ruling

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Family Dollar Stores Inc said on Monday that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided not to hear its appeal of a $35.6 million verdict finding in favor of store managers who said they were denied overtime pay.
The suit alleged that Family Dollar violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by classifying the plaintiffs and other store managers as exempt employees who were not entitled to overtime compensation, according to Family Dollar's latest quarterly filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Family Dollar has said it believed the store managers were exempt employees and that they were properly compensated.
A Tuscaloosa, Alabama, jury found in 2006 that Family Dollar should have classified the plaintiffs as hourly employees entitled to overtime pay, and the trial court entered a judgment for $35.6 million. Family Dollar appealed the ruling.
In its regulatory filing, Family Dollar said that as of May 30, it had accrued liabilities of approximately $51.2 million related to the suit. The retailer said on Monday that the court's decision not to hear the case will not have a material impact on its financial condition.
The suit was originally filed by Janice Morgan and Barbara Richardson on January 30, 2001.
Family Dollar shares were up 19 cents, or 0.7 percent, at $26.82 in early afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
