Q. I work at toys r us and my boss says that because december and january are our "peak" time, i have to quit if i want to go on vacation during those times. My vacation is a christmas cruise...
A. This subject is quite complicated and much depends on whether you have a written statement of the terms and conditions of employment, that the correct notice of your request for a holiday is given, that the employer gives the right notice of refusal and whether any agreements regarding holidays exist.

If you are still unsure of how this affects you personally, I would recommend making an appointment with your local Citizens Advice Bureau asap.

How quickly will ipod touch 4g sell out on black friday at target?
Q. Oh, and all I have heard about black friday are bad things. Should a fifteen year old go with her mom? How long will 8gb ipod touch supplies last at target? Should we go in the morning or later tonight? I have heard people have died. I'm kinda scared. Some reassuring words would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.
A. A fifteen year old should definitely go with her mom, as it is the busiest few hours of the year. (I went to Wal-mart around 10PM, and it was pandemonium. I left within 20 minutes.) Electronics are especially popular. Target's Black Friday sale started at Midnight. With sales starting earlier and earlier each year (instead of the middle of the night), more people will venture out to the sale. I'm sure this item is gone within the first 5 minutes of the sale.
If you're really interested in getting any Black Friday items, you need to be at the store (in the appropriate department) at least an hour before, if not several hours before hand. [Depending on the item] Best Buy has individuals camping out a few nights in advance. It all depends on how much your time is worth to you.
BTW, Amazon had a Black Friday 'Lightning Deal' on the iPod Touch 8GB at Midnight -- and only from the 'Lightning Deal' page.
I added it to my cart as soon as the sale started, but within ONE MINUTE, all items were sold and I didn't get it. :(
Why? The price was $145(!), which is the best I've seen it anywhere. Even better than the offers Best Buy, Radio Shack, Target, and Toys R Us were offering -- around $190-$199, plus $30-$50 gift cards.
Perhaps your best bet is to visit Apple's site and see what offer they'll make. One site implied the price would be $178, but I can't figure out what time their Black Friday sales starts.
Apple's Black Friday page is currently down -- if you want one you'll need to keep refreshing the page. Hopefully it starts soon, instead of at 5AM-8AM.

In any event, there's always 'Cyber Monday'. Besides, the current iPod Touch is over a year old. Even if you don't get it, the next generation (hopefully) will be much better, since Apple didn't upgrade the hardware in October.
Yet, for $145 I think I could have lived with it.

What would be a good first real job for a teenager?
Q. I turned 16 a few months ago, and got my license about the same time. I am thinking hard about getting a job after school so i can hopefully get me a fairly nice Silverado/Sierra before i go to college (am a Junior as of now). Anyone have any ideas of something I could look into as an alright after school job?
I know we don't live in the same town, but all towns have a sort of general job selection.

A. Get a seasonal job, companies are hiring now and hiring plent of teens too!
Two industries you can count on to hire extra workers during the holiday season are retailers and restaurants. Party suppliers and holiday decoration centrals, like Party City and Target, and clothing and toy stores, like Old Navy and Toys �R� Us, all hire seasonal workers. You�ll often enjoy store discounts at places like these�and you can�t help but get into the holiday spirit when surrounded by wrapping paper and twinkling lights.
With employers hosting holiday parties and visiting friends out for nights on the town, restaurants see booming business during the holiday season. You�re likely to find plenty of hours available for work and enjoy larger tips, as people feel more generous around that time of year.
You�ll also find seasonal jobs at hotels and winter attractions (like ski resorts and ice skating rinks). And don�t forget the mall�Santa could probably use a few extra helpers in his winter wonderland this year.
Companies hiring now nationwide :
Amc Theaters
Jcpenneys
Toys R us
Sears
Macys
Burger King
Good year
Dunkin Donuts
Ski Resorts
Mcdonalds
Pizza hut
Dairy queen
Grocery Stores
All these are great first jobs for a teen, I like hostessing though.
Also try linkedin.com to look for local job postings, good luck on your job search!

Do you have to buy the wii in a bundle?
Q. If you wanna buy the wii do you have to buy it in a bundle? Because when I called a bunch of places they said A) They are are out of stock of the wii and B) they only sell it in a bundle which is like $500-800
I don't want to buy it in a bundle since it's pretty expensive. And also does anyone know where you have get just the wii?
And also if I traded in my gamecube for a $130 giftcare and bought a seperate $120 giftcard could I buy the wii at gamestop?

A. Stores like wall-mart and toys-r-us are taking advantage of the demand for wii and trying to rip off children and fans. My son wanted to buy wii for last Christmas holidays but we were not able to get one (even after spending several hours in queues, my son tried several months calling each and every store we can reach). I am surprised to see how wii is marked, there is so much technology out there why can�t the stores sell wii in advance or give priority reservation on internet (by limiting quantities using id etc).
You can notice that Majority of wii are ending up in eBay bidding for more price. My recommendation is not to buy wii and please write to FTC about these greedy corporations trying to bundle up game consoles by adding non relevant (unsuitably rated) games. Wait for some time, PS2 or even Microsoft will come up with better systems with both Graphics and motion sense features.
