Reply #66: It is one of the dumbest protest ideas ever [View All]

I worked retail until I graduated from college. And I have had a few part time retail gigs since then. No way would any store I worked for pay me overtime to restock shelves. When I worked in a small card shop, we had to clean the store every night. And yes, restock anything the full time day people had no time to do. And that store was often much busier at night when the part timers worked.

I have a friend who works retail part time now. She called me last night to cancel a breakfast date we had this morning. She was supposed to be off today but was called in to work to help clean the store - at 7 am. They aren't paying her overtime, but letting her go home two hours early tomorrow.
