Should I start looking for another job?
I just started a new job at a Superstore in the Apparal department. The store hasnt opened yet so right now we are doing the set up.
I am concerned because I've only had two shifts since I got called in last week. My boss called me in to work today, we had a two hour orientaition about health and safety. But get this, after the orientation everyone else in my department got jobs to do, and me and another lady got sent home!!! Then I found out that everyone else except me and this other lady had been called in all this week and had been getting tons of hours!! I asked my boss when my next shift would be and she said "I'll call you".
I have a really bad feeling and so does this other lady, neither of us has had a shift since last wednesday.
I don't understand why everyone else is getting hours except us.
Should I start looking for another job? And should I ask my boss what the heck is going on?

Yes. You need to ask your boss why she is doing this. If she isn't responsive, yes, you should start looking for another job.

You definitely need to ask your boss what is going on, and if there is any problem. But I'll give you this to think on too.
I've been on crew opening three different stores now, and in each case, they have overstaffed at first. They always hire more people then they need because people always seem to leave before the store opens anyways.
If the manager has you pegged as someone who will leave soon after it opens or as soon as school is in, then they aren't too worried about training you or making you happy.
This doesn't mean you should stick with the job, only you can make the choice if it is worth it for you, just something to consider.
A little rule for life, ALWAYS keep yours ears open for good jobs, even if you don't have the skills for them yet, apply to them. It's a great learning experience and you might just land a dream job. Don't stop looking altogether just cause you have a job, don't be afriad to shoot for the stars.

Hey!
You certainly need to ask your boss what is going on. Let her know that you know all the others have had shifts and you're not happy.
If she says she doesn't want you, ask why. You can always use these tips for your next job.
If she has no reason then she's being very unfair and you should let her know that you could try as hard as the others, given half the chance.
Good luck xxx
