But they often want things like impossibly large discounts or merchandise that the store simply doesn't have in stock. Some customers see items that are supposedly in stock online, and then they'll spend 10 minutes insisting to the cashier that the item actually is in the store. If only they'd check in…

What would you have chosen if you had to choose between fighting for what is rightfully yours and keeping your job? This might sound like a terrible choice to make, and it is, but unfortunately, many employees have to make that choice whether they like it or not. Imagine you discovered that your company has made a mistake in your paycheck and has been paying you less than you deserve for over 7 months.
