I'm interested in hearing other employees situations and what it is like to work at other stores. Are they all the same? Does your store operate the same as this one? ........
We have to buy our own pens (even the ones the customers have to use to sign their credit card receipts). Trying to get paperclips is like pulling teeth.
Cashiers don't get paid for time before/after a shift to count their tills. Sometimes the employees don't get done work for a 1/2 hour later, without pay. Sometimes they have to wait 10-15 minutes for a manager to open the safe so the employee can put their till in the safe. The employee cannot leave the till unattended, they must wait for the manager, unpaid time for employee as well.
We have to clean the public washrooms during our regular shifts. Yet we cannot take a coffee break in a 5 hour shift.
We have to pay for 50% of our uniforms.
We work for minimum wage, no incentives, no raises, no benefits.
Our schedules are usually only posted 3 days in advance (if we are lucky).
How often is the Dealer in the store? We are lucky if we see our Dealer once a week.
Is your store air conditioned? We have air conditioning but it is usually so low that very often the temperature is 80-84 degrees.
There is no communication, if there is a problem, a note is sent from the office.
When something changes, it is up to the employees to inform the other employees in their department.
Does your store still use the old CRT monitors (black background with green print)? The ones with radiation.
Feel free to let me know what you think of the above situations.
Thank you.
