This didn’t happen to me, I witnessed it.
I work at a grocery store stocking shelves and receiving. Yesterday I came for my morning shift at 7:00 am. There’s a night shift from 10:30 to 7:00. The night shift guys are leaving when I arrive.
“Jacob, please face aisles 3 and 4” I heard on the intercom at 7:01. I don’t know Jacob but he looked like he just got out of high school, no more than 20 years old. Jacob is punching out. Jacob walks towards the exit, and is met by the night shift manager. “You heard what I said” says the manager. Jacob proceeds to the door as he should, his shift is over.
The night shift manager rushes in front of him to the door and puts himself in a starfish position, physically blocking the exit. Eventually, Jacob goes back, and spends about a half hour facing aisle 3 and 4 off the clock.
I know that facing each aisle is the standard expectation for the end of the shift, but this seems ridiculous.
