I remember working in a retail place - you couldn't leave until you cashed out your drawer. Well, it took an hour for that to happen and the time was not paid for. You could put overtime on your timecard but it had to be approved by a manager that night and the managers deliberately made themselves scarce.

When I quit they tried to keep the last check and I had to threaten to report them for illegal labor practices. Upon observing my detailed typed report they decided to give me my last check after all. Retail is brutal sometimes.

“Retail is brutal sometimes.”

Employment is serfdom sometimes.

About 15 years ago I was cutting meat for a supermarket in the Pittsburgh,PA area. The guys that worked night stocking shelves got caught stealing shopping cart loads of food and were fired. The store tried to keep their last paychecks but were told they could not do that because they worked on the clock and the theft was a different issue.
