(#14) No Yodeling Or Simulated Sex
From Redditor /u/yolandabequelle:
No yodeling over the loudspeaker, and no pelvic thrusting towards customers.

(#4) Hide Your Phone… Every Inch Of It
From Redditor /u/lemunplej:
Not allowed to have our phones even be visible on the sales floor, meaning if my phone is even poking a little bit out of my pocket, I'm gonna hear about it.
I don't care though and I don't want to leave it in a locker for my entire shift in case something important comes up (or I need to ID a song on the speakers).

(#8) Lock Up The Garbage
From Redditor /u/Art886:
I used to work retail. We had so many ridiculous and pointless rules that I learned to stop questioning when something made zero sense. But one thing that comes to mind is that we had a garbage shoot that led to the dumpster, but it was locked and only managers had the key. Our district manager was insanely strict about this. We were only allowed to unlock the garbage shoot four times per day. So, naturally, garbage bags would pile up in front of the garbage shoot, backing up the warehouse area. Seriously, only crazy people lock up their garbage!
