"Splits" arn't all bad... When I was working in Whistler last summer they used to do 9-8 with 3 hour splits at the shop I worked at. Nothings better than working for a few hours and than going to ride your bike over you lunch before coming back to work. Perhaps not ideal in every day life but when living as a "ski-bum" it's pretty freakin awesome!

That said I've been in the retail random weekend situation and it defiantly sucks. Worst off was missing out on biking/skiing trips because you had to work. I finally graduated to Sun/Mon's which all things considered are pretty awesome! That said I'll take my current "9-5" job over retail hours any day. Oh man the joy of finally getting paid stat holidays off...the odd flex day sure doesn't hurt either
