    Walmart’s been mandating this for decades. I’ve never been to a Walmart where it was reliably enforced. My partner did get fired from Walmart for being too depressed with the excuse being they violated this policy, so it may just be a defacto justification for firing people.

      Yeah had it that way at the beSSt buy I worked at too; same with the local grocery. BB was mostly for security, and groceries was for “that small-town feel”. Maybe the groceries were for security too - but I wouldn’t stop any one lol too busy pocketing a power bar and beverage. Consider it a balance against being paid minimum wage, and being scheduled such that I’d not get the mandated 30 minutes break lol. Fuck retail.
