They will send employees home (without pay) if the sales are down for that day or they will send them home if they are getting too close to 40 hours in a week. They also hire people for a lower-paying job (janitor) and then assign them to work a higher paying job (cashier) but they get paid the lower rate.
There is no union but they have an "open door" policy where you can go talk to a manager about a complaint and they wont hold it against you.
I know someone who was told to do something that was not part of his assigned job and in the rule book it says he is not supposed to do. He refused so they, right on the spot, accused him of doing drugs. Of course he denied it (because he wasnt doing drugs) they then told him to take a drug test right then and there. Angry at the accusation he said no. They fired him on the spot for "refusing to take a drug test in compliance with his employee obligations." The managers were bragging about having him fired in the break room later that day.
