Probably, I’ve been in a similar situation. Closers had to wait til the manger unlocked the front door to let you out at the end of the night. I wouldn’t clock out, and others started to also. Wed sit there on the clock waiting for the managers then go punch out.
Also, they got pissed we were working an extra half hour or so to cleanup or sit at the gate, so when my shift was over, I clocked out and stopped working, even if I wasn’t done. You don’t schedule me til 9pm, then bitch I needed half an hour to cleanup and finish since the fucking door was open with customers til 9pm.
Fucking hated retail. Everyone after high school should work mandatory 1 year of retail or 2 years of military. Would curb a lot of this holier than thou narcissism bullshit really quick and have people treating each other with more respect.
They do expect were dumb. We’re training growing up with wrong info. You know how many people I’ve met that they think if they get a raise they’ll make less money?

I’ve been saying the same thing since I worked retail many years ago. Would either save the world or destroy it, and I’m not sure which would be better.
There’s a certain set of people who would still treat retail workers like shit b/c “I had to put up with it, so they can too!” And I want to take my foot down their shins just thinking about it.
Listen, I get that wearing a uniform and seeing the abyss that is human nature is very honorable, but don’t compare that to the military. That’s just killing poor people for the rich and powerful.

Why is it that so many companies steal their employees wages?
It’s like they expect employees not to know better and contact an employment attorney and sue.

True, but I think more people would stand up also and call them out. I’d hope so at least.
