Posting this for anyone who was not aware so they can use it in the future. Under Federal Law via the FLSA (Fair Labor and Standards Act), salaried employees are owed their full salary for any week in which they perform work, and it cannot be deducted on the basis of reduced work quality or quantity. What this means, is that if you quit or get fired in the middle of the pay period, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR FULL PAY FOR THAT WEEK.

I've had people try to Quick Change me. It's when people will start taking items out of the scanned bags, get angry, and say that you did it wrong and they want to rearrange it. Then they start asking for things unscanned off the belt to put in the bags (ex. “This has vegetables in it. Hand me that lettuce over there so I can put it in). After they get free stuff, they try to confuse you even more by talking nonsense, and if there's more than one of…

Having workplace anxiety is absurd because I could have the smallest task like updating zoom meeting invitation with an agenda and that gives me a stomachache. I’m in my 30s and I’m a (relatively) competent, confident person but that all falls apart with dumb shit like making a document or sending an email TLDR – I am like Jerry/Gary/Terry from parks and rec except that people like me
