Right because that's what I've come to love about Apple: that they do all the same stupid things that every other company does. Think different, alright.
Didn't say that. I said they should get their crap together and do the bag search on their own time, before the end of the employee's shift.
Actually, that's exactly what you're saying. You want your kid to stop working early when not everyone else gets to, but still collect the same money as people who are actually working. How incredibly selfish of you.
Wow, you get really aggressive about this? I take it you've never worked for an employer that makes these kinds of unreasonable demands or you have and were too weak to recognize that it's wrong. It's not about being special or deserving something special. It's about the company having demands but not wanting to pay for that. If they want to search bags, they need to do it on their own time. People have lives outside of work and an employer should take the fact that they employ human beings into account. Sometimes, people have to bring things to work. That's not unreasonable.
Actually, it's about YOU having demands for free money. Spare us all the "think of the children!!" nonsense. IF you need to bring things to work, then that's a YOU problem, and YOU can spare the time to make sure you're not taking anything from the store. I worked in a retail store, and this was the same thing that everyone did there every day, and we sure weren't a bunch of crybabies over it because it made sense. You act as if a normal person can't go about life without packed luggage on them every day.
Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about. The employer should get their act together and either do the bag search immediately after the employee clocks off or shortly before. And clearly, you have no idea the pittance that retailers are paying nowadays. It's not like a company is losing tons of cash because an employee isn't working for a few minutes at the end of their shift.
You sure are a fan of repeating the whole "get their act together" line. Perhaps you are just not a worthwhile employee and you, AGAIN, follow up by asking for the store to pay someone to NOT work when everyone else does work. Hand out much? And sorry, but it's retail. Want to complain about it being a pittance? Perhaps get with reality and understand these are jobs generally meant for very young people to have spare cash. If you are trying to work in a store and raise a family on that, then that speaks a lot more about your own choices than any obligation Apple or the world has. Exactly how much skill does it take for you to grab that little box off a shelf and hand it to me? How much do you think you deserve for that?
Do you think a big, national retailers expecting their employees to wait around 15-20 minutes is reasonable?
Yes, yes I do.
The entire freakin' industry does it. And guess what? That doesn't make it right. In fact, I'm disappointed to hear that Apple is just fine following the herd and treating their employees the same, disrespectful way any other retailer does. They should be ashamed.
Their job is to make money. If you think it's so shameful, then apply different rules at YOUR store. It's not Apple's job, nor anyone else's, to tip the scales in favor of some entitled brat millennials who think they have something to prove.
So people don't bring lunch or something else to work? What indentured servitude system is at work there?
Use a lunchbox. It doesn't have to be in the bottom of a giant purse along with 4575847548945789 other things. Those are the ONLY bags that take any time to really look into. As for other items, what do you really need to bring to work to stand around an Apple store? Honestly. Do you need a spare pair of shoes? A change of clothes? Makeup? Do you need all that other junk in the bag? No. You need your person, your outfit, and you SHOULD get ready before you leave your home like a professional.
Also, it's not indentured servitude, but it's not an office either. That's one of the realities of working in retail. The same as wearing a uniform to fast food, and washing your hands repeatedly in restaurants. You're coming very close to comparing it to slavery, which is pretty insulting to those who actually WERE slaves and indentured servants.
