Probably, I've been in a similar situation. Closers had to wait til the manger unlocked the front door to let you out at the end of the night. I wouldn't clock out, and others started to also. Wed sit there on the clock waiting for the managers then go punch out.

Also, they got pissed we were working an extra half hour or so to cleanup or sit at the gate, so when my shift was over, I clocked out and stopped working, even if I wasn't done. You don't schedule me til 9pm, then bitch I needed half an hour to cleanup and finish since the fucking door was open with customers til 9pm.

Fucking hated retail. Everyone after high school should work mandatory 1 year of retail or 2 years of military. Would curb a lot of this holier than thou narcissism bullshit really quick and have people treating each other with more respect.

Listen, I get that wearing a uniform and seeing the abyss that is human nature is very honorable, but don't compare that to the military. That's just killing poor people for the rich and powerful.
