So I just heard from my coworker (very small grocery store) that when they work morning shift they need to be there fifteen minutes before the opening hours and prepare things, like: open the store, reheat sausages, count the register, check the dates for the fridge stuff and reduce the price from them. and they are not paid for this because the custmores aren't there yet. i got so pissed about it and told them that it is not fair and they should get paid for it but they think its fair because why would our boss pay us if we dont make any revenue. it is a job meant for a few months at maximum but its sickening. i worked a larger grocery store before that had rights and unions and stuff (not usa sorry) and its actually really weird how it works in the more low-income jobs.
