[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the process for using the restroom?
What is the breakroom like? Any freebies like soup, coffee, hot chocolate?
Do you have to have your bags and body searched upon coming and going to work? [/quote]
You can just go to the bathroom but must scan in/out of your station. The problem with bathroom breaks is it cuts into your pick or work time. Your rate is tracked and if you are too slow you’re fired.

No freebies except for vending machine coffee and pedialyte ice pops (because they don’t want people passing out from dehydrated) in the break room and this goes back to a core tenet they preach which is frugality. The lunch room looks like a high school lunch room without a cafeteria. There are drink vending machines, junk food (chips, energy bars, cookies, candy etc) and some very suspect looking salads and sandwiches available for purchase. There is no hot food available and they are definitely making money on their junk food. A Luna bar is $4 there and a bottle of water was $2. Only thing I bought during my time there. I was told they used to have food trucks come but they felt it was a distraction and took too long for people to get their food so they banned them from coming.

Your bags are only searched upon leaving not entering. They are not concerned about worker security as much as they are concerned that you may steal something.
