Target apparently forgot all about the Christmas spirit and fired seven overnight workers from their Walden Avenue store for buying Zhu Zhus. I don't know what a Zhu Zhu is and I don't want to know. These poor guys are making $10/hour to unload boxes overnights. Give them a break. What's the big deal? They paid for them. It's not like they stole them or anything. They didn't purchase more than the maximum of four each.
From the comments under the article, I fully expect these people to be given their jobs back, especially if they return the stupid $8 toy. It would be a bad PR move for Target as worker's rights types are talking about boycotting the store until they are reinstated. What about the cost of training new employees also? People should show up at a prescheduled time and throw Zhu Zhus at random Target executives.

ReplyDelete"Before leaving for the day at 5 a.m. the next morning, he and six other employees lined up to buy a few of the plush hamsters each."
also...
"employees were not allowed to purchase “popular items” until the store opens at 8 a.m"
So, they bought what is known as the 'hot toy' this year, and has been sold out of many places, ON THE CLOCK (which they are allowed to, but there are restrictions which they broke), BEFORE ANYONE ELSE COULD (which they are allowed to, but there are restrictions which they broke).
And they were punished for it.
Boo Hoo.
