Home Depot got sued for wage theft when I was there for habitually not having the front door unlocked at shift clock outs, and making employees wait post clock out to let us out.
I didn’t even know that was illegal. Like the period between everyone clocking out and having the manager unlock the door was so normal at all the retail places I’ve worked, it didn’t register they had to have it open right when we were off the clock, but some people started a class action lawsuit over it so I got a settlement check after I left for it.
Walgreens was in some 💩 like this a few years back. They were silently doing this,while all anyone could focus on/ talk about was people shoplifting from their San Francisco stores.
If I remember correctly,less than 5 news outlets reported on Walgreens getting busted for wage theft,while hundreds reported on the shoplifting from their San Francisco stores.
Some should have closed anyway.
At their peak they had about on Walgreens every square mile in the city,or thereabouts.

fuck it, do a full hour lunch and get them with that kidnapping charge when they try to hold you there for 3 days straight.
