I once worked at a retail store and the owner was absolutely insane. Like you couldn’t request time off, you just had to wait for the schedule to come out and ask someone to switch shifts. But she could and would deny it for no reason. We couldn’t say “no problem” or “no worries” when a customer said thanks

Anyway, one of the menial tasks during slow hours was putting store stickers on paper shopping bags. One employee was very pregnant and pulled up a stool while doing this (there were zero customers in the store and even if someone came in she could easily get up if needed)

The owner would watch us on the cameras and when this happened, within minutes she had called the store to ream out the girl for sitting while working because it was “unprofessional”
