Sorry to jump in on the original discussion in the middle of the new tax/healthcare debate...
I'm salaried. However, we are paid on the 15th and last day of the month. If either of those days falls on a weekend, we are paid on the first business day before. Hence, the pay periods are not always the same length of days, and our paychecks increase/decrease accordingly. Reimbursements are handled through separate deposits, but things like overtime pay are added directly to the bi-monthly paychecks. Additionally, meals eaten in the employee cafeteria, enrollment in gym classes, etc. are deducted from our paychecks. I suppose I could keep a running tally of the cost of my lunches and run the math on the taxes for different length pay periods+overtime, but honestly I'd rather just check my pay stub.
I also like to check my pay stubs periodically to make sure my vacation leave is properly subtracted. My name is very similar to another girl here and sometimes her vacation has been accidentally taken out of my leave pool, and vice versa.

How can you live on this planet and not realize that you are inconveniencing the cashier?How is helping the cashier not to run out of small change inconveniencing the cashier?
Indeed. I cashiered for extra money in High School and part of college, and my coworkers and I always appreciated when a customer paid in change and small bills. When everyone pays in twenties and tens it means you're calling the manager to replenish your change supply quite often, which inconveniences everybody. We all kept small pocket calculators by our tills for the event of last minute change (ie, people realizing they were going to get 94 cents back in change and digging out a penny and a nickel.) It was never a big deal.

I'm a girl, though I have a feeling I'll regret revealing that.

Hahaha, that was me... I had mod points and I couldn't help myself.
What happened? Has the Swamp Curse silenced you all? Has Swampy successfully travelled to the year 2012 to save the world?
