A Question for Everyone

So when you start working, they always train you not to do things. NEVER do this thing, or you’ll get fired. But then when you do the job you find out you have to do that thing or you can’t do the job. So you can get fired if you do it or if you don’t. What are those things? I’ll start. I used to work at a large chain grocery store. Obviously if unpackaged food fell on the floor, it was trash. But we were so short staffed, there wasn’t actually time to restock the items that fell. So if it fell, it got dusted off and put back. Otherwise you got in trouble for not stocking all the items. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Anyone else experience this?
