Thank you for your feedback on your experience with us. We thank you for your thoughts and appreciate your transparency. It is uncommon for us to have drastic fluctuation in part time hours each week. This practice is not indicative of how our stores operate. We would like to look into this more deeply on your behalf. Please contact Ed Kruger, Human Resources Business Partner, at e.kruger@osjl.com so that we can set up some time to discuss your concern.
