I'm working in a store that has a perfume department for 5 years. I don't want to be manager but I have a lot of responsibilities that require someone that is reliable.
Recently 2 new girls got caught in the most stupid attempt to steal some perfume. Since then ALL of us, no matter how long we are already employed, has to go to one of the managers whenever they want to leave the store on their breaks, to let them look in every bag and pocket. Not only do I feel this is not fair, especially to employees that could do much worse than stealing a perfume and for 5 years I had trust of the management with never giving them a slight reason to question that trust, it also takes away around 5 minutes of two breaks every day, that's one break every 10 days gone.
But the thing that makes it even more ridiculous is the fact that every employee could rent a sprinter at his day off, and fill that with anything they want since there is no camera between the storage room and the underground garage or the loading dock.
That makes it just a useless punishment and stolen time for a crime none of us committed. Because someone else almost stole something, the company now steals my time. That's what you get for your loyalty in big retail chains. I wonder why they struggling to find good employees so much.🤔
