GameStop is a company that had similar tactics. Had to close the registers, process and late trade-ins, and close/clean the store. Then they trusted me to take thousands of dollars to the bank and drop it in the slot. But all of it was unpaid.
- pfooti 10y agoThose practices are largely illegal. There's been a number of successful cases prosecuting wage theft.
- cavanasm 10y agoWas it GameStop, or the store manager? I'd bet money the GameStop corporate HR people would have fired the guy on the spot if they heard about something like that. My own retail experience (big box office supply store) was so metrics driven I can absolutely imagine a scenario where the store manager tries to illegally cut work hours to make his store's numbers look better.
- rhino369 10y agoYou were getting screwed. Most stores that close at say 9pm, still scheduling workers until 11pm to "Close" the store. The worst part is it was probably just some shitty manager making 35k a year looking for a good year end review or a tiny bonus. There is no way the corporate policy was unpaid overtime.
