'We don't pay you to be 2 minutes late': Retail employee discovers "interesting detail" with strict boss's plans to halt late employees

Requiring your employees to clock in at exactly their scheduled start time each day is guaranteed to add some extra stress into their lives. It's not as if most employees are trying to be late. Most of them are stuck in traffic or caught on a train that won't move. They rush into work as fast as they can—they might even sprint to make it!—but if they're even two or five minutes late , their boss is still going to be annoyed. All that rushing around to try to make it on time, and the boss still…

'They confirmed... it was a top priority': Store managers decide customers should never have to wait more than 15 seconds before checking out, employee maliciously complies

Just how long should a customer have to wait for service when they're checking out at a store ? It depends on a lot of factors. For example, if you check out at a store at 6 PM and there are no cashiers to be seen for a minute or two, you might be confused and annoyed. At 2 AM at that same store, you'd probably take it in stride if there were no cashiers , knowing you may have to go find that person and tell them you're ready to pay.
