The whole concept of searching your employees after their shift just pisses me off. Just install security cameras and track your inventory. If your inventory is off, check the security footage. This isn't rocket science.
I really didn’t think Apple would ever get into search.
>The court’s decision is retroactive. This seems like a pandora's box. If the employees are already off the clock to endure this delay for the searches, how will they be able to show how much time was lost in a way that would be worthy of a payment?
Of what? Damages can rarely be calculated perfectly.
It's not the court's fault Apple falsified timecard data.

> if only because I’m not sure how you could steal more than $10 worth of stuff without a full garbage bag. People who have an idea how to do it, please don't write it here, as it can lead to worsening of the situation for store workers.
Your regular honest worker is better off, when dishonest coworkers won't steal.

Does Apple really have a “process” for picking items up? I ordered a maxed out iMac Pro for around $15,000 and waited nearly a month for it to finally arrive at the store. I got a voice mail and an email instructing me to come pick it up. Only upon driving all the way to the store was I finally informed in person that they “accidentally” gave my iMac Pro to the wrong customer an hour ago who had merely ordered a base…
Why are you ordering this to the store and not to your home?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Tim already has you covered, it's called shipping with required signature. They can deliver to your home or work.
So you're saying "he's ordering it wrong"?
in all seriousness though, yes? if you have to wait for the item to be shipped regardless, why would you order it to a store instead of your front door? it's the worst of both worlds.
As a thought experiment, what if companies are made to pay for commute time? How would that change the labour market? Would they hire local? Provide better transportation? Work with cities to reduce congestion? Encourage more remote work? Decide it's too expensive to hire workers and cut hours? Work towards more inclusive housing?
That is way unfair to the company, when you will have certain people who are 'happy' to travel 1.5 hours each way. This seems insane to me, but there are plenty of people who do this and see no issue at all. How would a company hire local anyway, by rejecting candidates who live to far away? What if they promise to move, but don't end up doing it? > Work with cities to reduce congestion? The only real working way to…
I commute a bit over an hour. Because I cannot afford to live close to my job and rent a place for me and child.
It would cost me triple my current rent.
> Employees are supposed to find a manager or security officer to do the searches after they clock out. Employees estimate that waiting for and undergoing the searches can take five to 20 minutes, or, on busiest days, up to 45 minutes. This also seems to be their process for picking up orders at the store. It's pure chaos, and I find it at least somewhat amusing that at least Apple treats their employees and customer…
