I had a friend who was hired there 2 years ago as an on-call employee, with the promise that he'd be able to be moved up to full time regular at some point. He has to be available full time through the week, but only gets 1 or 2 shifts a week and is still waiting to get full time hours. He's had to keep working in a kitchen on the weekends to support himself, but cant work through the week in case he gets called in for mail delivery. Its actual so unreasonable.
