I currently work in the fuel center for the *major grocery store* chain I am employed by.
The hours of the fuel center are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 days a week.
I was told yesterday that no overtime is allowed.
For the past couple of weeks there were only 3 people working at the fuel center.
I either opened the fuel center or I closed the fuel center.
There are several duties for each shift that need to be done before clocking out.
So, according to the department head over the fuel center, when you are the closer, you need to start your closing duties at 9:30 p.m. and close the fuel center window at that time.
The closing duties are...
The department head feels that beginning at 9:30 p.m. customers should only pay at the pump. The problem with that is if and when the customers debit card or credit card is rejected at the pump, the customer cannot pay at the window since it is closed. The same goes for customers who pay with cash.
The fuel center also sells tobacco products, soft drinks, bottled water, and candy, but customers cannot buy any of this after 9:30 p.m. since the window will be closed.
Apparently my employer does not want the closer clocking out after 10 p.m.
