My last job forced its employees to sign forms saying they're willing to work overtime. But this place kept employing someone after finding out he was sleeping on the job and using work computers to search for voyeurism pornography. They also fired someone else for taking two days of stress leave after his wife had a miscarriage. Not the most honest workplace.
They're failing now as a company. They will always pay peanuts and fire when someone raises a fuss. Me and another couple people left after they fired him for that, and they've been struggling to keep people in our positions ever since. Feels good.
I can't ring up my own items on a register. I have to have someone else ring them up for me so I can pay for them.
Also, I can't ring up family members.

That first one makes sense but the second one is kinda dumb, We’re not allowed to say no to a customer that likes to touch our hair.
That’s a common policy in many retail stores. I can’t check out myself or family members. They don’t enforce it where I work but I was still taught that during training.

I work at a grocery store lmao
It’s only one customer but she spends so much she’s like one we can’t lose so when she complained to our boss that we wouldn’t let her touch our hair we had a “meeting” saying we can’t so no
oh god ill never work retail ive got cousins that like to touch my hair because its soft and curly all the way down my back and i can just see a customer wanting to do that too
Worked in A state run Veterans Home as a nurse, and they would forbid any family or outside staff coming in the building sick, but employees had to bring a Dr's note if they wanted to call out sick, and if they didn't they weren't allowed to use PTO hours to make up for the missed hours and we got written up (for being sick), some people were too sick to even get to the Dr and stayed home and came back to work facing write ups for everyday they called out. So there were a lot of people who had to come to work sick because they couldn't afford the Dr, or to lose hours.
One place I worked at didn’t allow you to play music or listen to radio while you worked! So all day you had to listen to the hum of the machines you worked around!
When I was 16 I used to have a few families I would babysit for.
One told me I had to WIPE THEIR DOGS ASS after it went outside to potty.
The freaking dog was so used to it that if you forgot to do it it will cry wimper lol. It wasn't even a pamper purse dog it was a large huge Great Dane it was like I wiped an old man's ass!
My work wants everyone to come into the store happy and to have fun. But everyone is depressed cause the people in charge are assholes and they hold grudges.
Also can’t wear two sets of sleepers in your ears.
so I work at sonic right, a lot of people don't know that the carhops make 3.25 an hour and that we make tips. we're not allowed to advertise or even say that carhops make tips, we can't ask, and we have to give exact change even if the customer says to keep the change. the only time we get to keep the tips is if they go out of their way to give you a dollar or more outside of the bill
Legally speaking if you don't make enough in tips to have a total income of minimum wage your employer is required to make up the difference. Either way you would on average be making the same amount unless you make less than 30 bucks in tips in which case they would be required to pay you minimum wage on top of the tips still resulting in the lowest average pay of any job in America tho.
If they aren't you should take it up with the associated authority as they are breaking wage law
I worked at a daycare where we weren't allowed to sit on the floor, we HAD to sit on chairs. Otherwise it would "take us too long to get up if something happened with a kid out of reach"
No headphones, or radio/speakers, as they are too dirty for the kitchen area. Yet there’s a computer that we all use, the contains a KEYBOARD. The DIRTIEST surface in the WORLD.
When I used to stock up shelves we were neither allowed to talk to each other nor to listen to music. I almost died of boredom, it was such a stupid work.
