What's in your pockets?

[WishfulSpirit]

I don't really use my "pockets" for much (stupid women's pants) but I have a keyring clipped to my belt buckle and my phone in my back pocket when it isn't charging. During my commute my pepper spray lives in my coat pocket.

[TheSHAD0W]

Wallet, keys, change, spare eyeglasses, and a little bitty flashlight.

On my belt, however, I keep my phone, extra keys and a Leatherman.

In my last two jobs (both working on shop floor in retail) nothing except my inhaler and a mobile phone (with permission) when my sister was in hospital.

When I'm not working my coat pockets have two sets of keys and a trolley token in them, sometimes money I've chucked in there and forgotten about. Everything else lives in my handbag and the craft bag I often take with me places.

[lonnolan]

Keys, some cash, phone, sig 229 9mm, extra mag or two for it, small flashlight.

((I help out at a Lazer tag place that is in a very bad area and have received training.))

[Becks]

Now I can add cough drops, cold pills and allergy pills.

Am I turning into a druggie?

That's like the policy where I work; you're only allowed to carry a phone on you if there's an emergency situation. This rule was introduced purely cuz of sucky employees; when mobiles became a thing, at first you were allowed to have a phone on your person. But then some people were abusing this rule and playing with their phones on the shop floor and in front of customers, so the rule was changed.

[Dreamstalker]

I think the 'official' policy at my place is no phones (save for managers), but you can have them if you aren't openly texting/etc. I have mine mainly to keep track of it (just because customers shouldn't be down in the locker rooms doesn't mean they don't do it) and I also check stuff for customers when possible. D once bitched at me about having my phone visible, but I was checking on a serious salad recall (CW's wife had texted him a photo of the package and I was confirming the date code)...CW then went off on D for not allowing me to ensure his kid's safety.

Glad to see you received proper training - would you believe that some jurisdictions allow untrained people to carry keys, cash, phones, and flashlights?

As for places that only allow carrying a phone if there's an emergency situation, what happens if an emergency suddenly develops (i.e. employee's kid gets hit by a car while they're at work)? Employee's phone is in the "locker" (quotes because no provision for locks) room - or walking out the door because a customer got into the "locker" room, so they won't get the call, and manglement won't pass on non-work related calls to an employee who's on the clock, so they can't be reached if someone calls the store.
