Same thing with my son who works at Fred Meyer (now owned by Kroger). They're short on help but he (and all or almost all of his fellow hourly employees) aren't scheduled for full time. Most of them work full time, sometimes overtime, but the benefits only kick in if they're "scheduled" for full time. What they do is schedule him for six hours (or so) a day but then ask him to to stay another two or three hours. They're about to lose him as he's been offered jobs by local businesses and he's getting less and less willing to play this game and work the extra hours. Now he usually just tells them he's made plans (unless he feels sorry for his supervisor, which happens a couple times a week).
