So after much procrastination I've decided to finally ship my old acer to a repair depot. The procrastination, however, is not fully my fault as the acer warranty service is crap (much like all other companies).
So the issue I have is this. Purolator boasts that they have 550 shipping locations in rural areas and that they are always there for you.
I found out (on saturday) that there are conveniently placed shipping depots all over where I live. The problem? The operation hours. All 3 locations near my house has operation hours of 9am to 5pm (mon to fri.), which happens to be when I work. Not very smart of purolator companies to set their operation hours the exact same as most full time work shifts.
How are full time workers supposed to ship thing during the day? I mean sure I can buy the box, the padding and pack it myself and then ship it , but I'd rather have a professional do it for me, and it's simply ridiculous how they can't just change the work hours to maybe 9 to 7pm or hell 10 to 7 pm. I doubt they get much business during the day so why not under staff a bit and manage the time a bit to accommodate the extra 2 hours of work time?
ps. Vote STV
pps. I'm da boss.

Which would you choose?
Pretend you are a professor with a lab in which a summer student has tried to apply for the work study program at.
You are now faced with a dilemma.
The work study program has a strict policy that if the program subsidizes $9/hr to the student's salary the minimum wage is $13/hr. This is excellent as all the you'd have to pay is $4 an hour and gives the work study program student a great salary.
The problem is that your graduate student in the lab who's going to be supervising the workstudy program student currently earns $12/hr, and that you were intentionally only going to pay the work study student $9/hr.
The question?:
Option 1. go with the work study program and save money.
Option 2. go with what you feel is the hierarchy of the lab and simply pay the $9 an hour to the work study student.
on a side note... researchers get paid jack shit...
