For those of you with time clocks:

Not an issue now at my present job. We don't have to punch or swipe a time clock. At stores where you do, they can be real strict about clocking out at nearly exactly the time you were scheduled. As easy as that sounds, it's not always that easy. You may have a customer who delays you. You can get in a lot of trouble if you punch out 5 minutes after rather than 3, 2, 1, or 0 after. I guess if you clock in 1 minute early and then take a 59 minute lunch hour and at the end of your shift, get delayed and clock out at 5 after, that's 7 minutes and somehow they have to pay you O.T. At Safeway stores people get written up for that. It's serious. I had the same thing at my previous store which I left 9 years ago. I never really minded staying a few minutes after if something happened. But it could be stressful when it became a situation where you can get in trouble. What about the customer? What if she/he's a secret shopper?

Oh that's another thing. Secret shoppers. They are one of the lowest forms of life. But I already did a thread on them.
