Working Dumb Hours 4 p.m. Yankees OR Washington at Baltimore Dear Annie: I work in health and wellness for the largest retailer in the world. I love my job, but there are so many things I don’t understand. Management is always on us about making money (which I understand), but no matter what we do, it is never enough. We At the Movies reside in a depressed area and really do quite well for where we live. With all the pressure management puts on us about sales and eliminating waste, our district manager demands that we work such wasteful hours. We are at the office until 8 in the evening even though no one comes in that late. I keep looking for something to do. We work from 12 to 5 on Sundays, and usually there are no customers -- just people walking by ask- ing, “Why are you working on a Sunday?” On Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and other holidays, we work from 9 to 6. It is not unusual to have customers who are on vacation and want trial contact lenses because theirs are ripped or lost. When we can’t give them what they want (we need a doctor’s permission to give out contacts), they become irate. Sometimes it gets intense. This is pretty much how the day goes -- dealing with irate customers and getting no sales. What can we do to let members of management know there are better ways to treat their employees and still save money? They simply will not listen. It’s typical top-down manage- ment. Things are good for those who are on top but frustrating for those who aren’t so far up the ladder. -- Love My Job but Just Don’t Understand Dear LMJBJDU: Many companies today have wised up to the value of employee feedback and started conducting peri- odic reviews. If your employer does, take the opportunity to share your insights. Focus on what the company stands to gain by cutting back during low-traffic hours. Your case will be more convincing if you can offer some concrete examples -- so the next time you’re working one of these shifts, take notes on sales, staffing, etc. Because it’s such a huge retailer with stores nationwide, there may be blanket policies that your managers have to follow even if they don’t make much sense at your location. But it’s worth at least proffering your two cents. If management brushes you off and things continue not to change, it might be time to channel your frustration into filling out some job applications -- preferably with smaller compa- nies, where you might be able to play a bigger role.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 29, 2018: This year you will need to find a bal- ance between spontaneity and overthink- ing. Sometimes even your friends aren’t sure whether they will run into the impul- sive you or the practical you. The issue for you is learning how to manage both quali- ties. If you are single, your changeability DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker could be rather enticing. Potential suitors will find life with you exciting. If you are attached, the two of you open up to more understanding. Learn to respect and accept each other’s differences. SAGITTARIUS displays multiple characteristics that intrigue you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Others seem to be more recep- tive than they have been in a while. Tap into your intuition, and you will know what to do. Listen to someone else’s news. SCARY GARY Mark Buford A friend makes it clear that he or she needs you to understand where he or she is com- ing from. Be open. Tonight: Speak your mind. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could have your hands full. At the moment, you cannot handle multi- ple issues or problems simultaneously. You might opt to stay closer to home. Think through the ramifications of a finan- cial matter before acting. Tonight: Observe what is happening with a special friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords HHHHH You have choices to make, some of which might be uncomfortable. DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni You could have difficulty explaining what is happening within yourself. Perhaps if you relax and try less to meet someone else’s expectations, the right words will come to you. Tonight: Defer to a loved one. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be emotional about a personal or work-related matter. If you note a tone of sarcasm, it is because there is anger that needs to be discussed. You might feel pressured to act in a certain way. You have the ingenuity to get past any hurdles. Tonight: Know when to call it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) B.C. Mastroianni and Hart HHHH The Full Moon affects you by stirring up your personal life. Some of you will find a new partner as a result. Others will notice that your focus could be a cre- ative project or hobby. You could be a bit impulsive at times, but everything will work out. Tonight: Let the fun begin. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Pressure builds as you deal with the present Full Moon. You are between a rock and a hard spot. Try not to get so irritated or finicky, as this phenomenon can be provocative. You find that you have a tendency to overthink. Go with the moment. Tonight: At a favorite spot with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie HHHH You could be intense about com- munication. You also could misinterpret what someone says and make a mountain out of a molehill. Use your ability to con- firm what you hear to make sure you are on the same page. Do a better job of listen- ing. Tonight: Be fun and spontaneous. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be pushed to make an expenditure. You might feel very differ- ently about a certain matter from how a partner does. If you can put the issue on hold for at least a day, one of you will see a solution or a different path. Tonight: Try not to go overboard when out shopping. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett HHH Your high energy emphasized by the Full Moon allows you to move through problems with clarity and quickness. You cannot be stopped once you commit to an activity or a situation. A partner or several close friends come toward you. Tonight: Act as if you have a magic wand. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Understand what is driving you to do what you are doing. You might not be consciously causing a problem, but one exists nonetheless. You are likely to dis- Cryptoquip cover that you have the power to over- come a hassle. Play it easy and relaxed. Tonight: Consider your options, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe HHHHH Your thoughts are focused on a long-term dream or desire. You could feel pushed by a friend to finally go after what you want. This person might not always be 100 percent right, but he or she is 100 percent there for you. Tonight: Recognize what is happening around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Today’s Full Moon could be bur- densome, as it is likely to cause unexpect- ed rifts and/or demands. Your ability to hold out despite pressure and others’ demands emerges. You might not realize how well you handle pressure until you are in a heated situation. Tonight: Till the wee hours.
