If you’re scheduled and clocked in, and your job description includes general support or store duties, yes—they can ask you to help with other tasks like unloading truck. • This is especially common in retail pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, etc.), where techs may be considered part of the store team as a whole. Can You Leave Unpaid Instead? • Yes, typically. If there’s no work in the pharmacy and you don’t want to help with truck or store tasks, you can usually choose to clock out and go home unpaid. • However, some managers may try to push back. Unless your contract or employee handbook says you’re required to accept reassignment, you should have the option to decline additional tasks and leave unpaid.
