@WrCombs okay I'm done with the topic. It's making my head hurt lol.
and that is the Gas Stations in the local area.
Wanna hear more?
NO? okay well..we didn't get clock in clock out lunch breaks and they said because "we are a gas station, and legally as this type of business, we are able to withhold your break. " which i talked to a lawyer, and since they stated it up front in the interview, in the training and before you finished the application process they could actually do that legally here in Nebraska.
Couldn't sit down anywhere. there was no sitting involved. you were required to stand all day, regardless of what was going on.
If you were a clerk you were required to work in the kitchen at least 20 hours a week, and had a daily list of assignments that needed to be complete before you could leave, if someone called in and there was no coverage, youd be stuck running the kitchen and floor by yourself, most times you only got 2 clerks and an assistant manager running the stores. They ran you down and stressed you out for (at the time I started 8.25/hr) about 10/hr.
You got bonuses based on Secret Shoppers, if you failed you'd get the report and a meeting from the DM to walk your store within 24 hrs of receiving the report.Is that $10/hr for an adult worker?
The business would be taken to court for underpaying / exploiting workers here.
LOL
Minimum wage is $9/hr in our state, there would be no courts being bothered here.
There is no wage minimum difference for adults versus children. There are some jobs where the minimum wage is lower - waitressing is one, but the expectation is that tips make up the difference to get to minimum wage.Most of the US has lower wage options for children. Not for normal jobs, but for jobs that only kids do.
really? like what?

Having time wasted in a meeting rather than getting to do work.
You're getting paid still. If they want to pay you your hourly rate to sit there and listen to ideas etc, take it as paid time off from your day job.

IIRC there are a few jobs where kids are allowed to legally work, like a farm hand (drive a truck etc) that is allowed to be paid at a lower rate.

Yuck... just got a bunch of equipment back from a guy who got fired... who was out with pink eye a couple of weeks before he got fired. Glad I keep rubbing alcohol at my desk. Too bad I'm out of nitrile gloves.

That's lovely. . . I've never had to deal with that myself fortunately.
I once had someone hand me their computer and then sneeze on it right as they were passing it to me though. . . that was gross.

I would have purposely dropped that computer right on their foot, and then make them sanitize it.

Bussers and Dishwashers can Start at 14 with a work permit for lower wage than minimum wage.

you guys are soft, you should try working in schools, everthing is covered with slime & goo & snot and stuff that sticks. Tables, desks, ipads, laptops, screens, mice.
And then there's the stuff the kids leave on the equipment.
