Kmart Queenstown. The student’s dad, who doesn’t want to be identified, says his son had worked two days a week for Kmart Queenstown for several months. Both the dad and his son, who returned from the 12-day camp last weekend, visited Kmart’s Queenstown store manager on Tuesday. When he’d asked for leave, the store manager hadn’t realised he was going on a school camp, "in which case the leave would have been approved". "It’s one of those unfortunate ones where I think the store manager didn’t understand the extent of exactly what the leave was for."
