I am a female so I was treated rudely by the only other female worker due to jealousy issues which her attitude made my days seem unbearable. She had a tattoo very visable on her neck and she made me cover my nose ring bc we were not allowed to show piercing or tattoos even though for some odd reason she never had to worry about her large neck tattoo showing. We also worked in the back where nobody would even see us. I worked eight hour days and by law you are to receive a 15 min paid break and a lunch break that I clocked in and out for. Well forget taking a 15 min break they don't allow it and they worked me hard so that 15 min break was well worth the time had they allowed their staff to take it. I got a lecture and told we don't take breaks when I took mine, needless to say I called the labor work dept and asked them if that was legal, and was told it was not and if you were working over 6 hours you were intitled to a paid 15 min break. I explained that to them when I returned the next day, which they didn't like. If you have any issues or concerns don't even waste your time bc nothing will resolve any issues. Oh and if you can live on getting paid once a month more power to you. That's how their pay days roll, once a month. I ended up sticking up for my rights and received a phone call the next evening from the stocking supervisor lying and saying they were running low on customer orders and I didn't need to come back as their wasn't enough work for me. So needless to say it was a horrible experience for me, I as was lied to, pay sucks and I'm glad I didn't go back. Their are way too many other jobs out their that will give you the 15 min breaks you deserve and abide by their own rules not just make the employee abide by a rule and feel bc they are management they don't have too. They work you hard and you can't trust anyone their so just don't talk to anyone and you'll do just fine...unless you get sick of being treated like trash and getting stepped on and lied to as I did lol. Just prepare yourself for a phone call with a made up story of why they don't need you to return!!
