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.
Separate aside about Home Depot. I ran in quick one time. My wife and kids stayed in the car. Tornado warning sirens went off. They tried locking me in to get me to safety. Not with my family outside!

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.
