First: I talked to another coworker once for thirty minutes until the end of my shift, during which it was obvious I hadn't completed my task. I still have NO idea how I got away with this since this same coworker reprimanded another for doing the same just two days later.
Second: Same store. I took “bathroom breaks” every ten to thirty minutes for an eight hour shift and got very little done. Scrolled this sub on my phone during each “break”.
Third: Different store. I'd often walk around with my phone out, hide in the backroom, hide from customers, and extend each bathroom break an extra five minutes more than it needed to be, and often took anywhere from one to four “breaks” each hour. Also, yep, you guessed it – scrolled this sub on my phone. Quick edit – also would sit down in the aisles I was supposed to be stocking because fuck killing my health for a measly $200/wk.
How did you commit time theft recently?
