So like I say things like “unfortunately, our policy is to record all business calls.”
Or, “I wish I could help you but unfortunately, corporate has my hands tied.”
Why should big corporations be the only ones to hide behind sweeping policy and not be held accountable for thier actions and outcomes.
So, the most recent job I had as a part time stocker. My hours are pretty set in stone and the one manager I dont really speak to “asked” (told) me I have to work truck day because staffing or whatever. I say I cant and shes all like “out policy says yadda yadda yadda”…
I'm like. “I'm terribly sorry. I really want to help. You know I do! But our policy is that we have to charge (blank) per hour extra for working that day.(theres a reason).
I'm excited to try it on a cop next time they demand ID without RAS. “Sorry officer, it's our policy not to identify unless you can articulate a reasonable suspicion that's I've committed a crime. Soon as you do that I'll be happy to give you what you need.”
