I am sure there are people on this forum that would love to have a JOB and be working on Sat. or Sun. When you take a job in retail (service or sales), you work when the customers want to buy.

The service dept was open 7:30 AM - 6PM M-F and Sat (I think) 9-3. They had less hrs than the sales dept.
BTW, the HD dealer's service dept closest to me is open M-F 10-7(used to be 9-7) and Sat 10-6. When business is slow, they let some of the techs leave early.

My local dealer's service dept is closed on Sundays. That's OK.
When they are open, they'll always get you in. Actually, they are great.
