Here's something creepy that makes me want to stay far, far from any shopping venue on Black Friday.
The OSHA.gov website has a bunch of documentation for
keeping retailers safe during major shopping events such as Black Friday. Things about not blocking egress, how not to get trampled, setting up lotteries to avoid rioting...
Now, I work for a company that does compliance training for things like HAZMAT, Bloodborne Pathogens, Confined Space Hazards... so I understand that bad things happen in the workplace.
But the idea of someone who makes $6/hr having to prep on the finer points of crowd control? That is MESSED UP.
And I'm not a snob - I have worked plenty of holidays in retail. I'm just saying $6 isn't hazard pay.
