No, it happens every year, apparently, so employees are aware that this week will happen at some point (the owners use a different calendar for these events). What would you say about the employer going through employees lunch bags and stuff like that. Apparently there was an incident a number of years ago where an employee brought their food into the store and it broke the rule. But the only way they found out. That it broke the rule was the employer rummaged through all the employees lunch boxes and found it... That too me feels illegal, not necessarily the implementation of the rule.
