That explains why the guy above me was so adamant.
It was a Wal-Mart, by the way--the old standard model was about to close and the new Super (which is now the standard model) was opening up in town, so they were on a hiring spree.
God, those cheers they made us do in orientation and the break room. So corny. Ugh.
Major corporations are the most strict about it because they try to "one size" the policy within the company to hit every state's regulation so they don't have to have a shit ton on the books for every different states. Double so if they also have to comply with a union too.
I'm thankful I never had to work a Walmart, my retail store days were bad enough without all the humiliation rituals they put those boys through.
