Hey, we had purse inspection in my dollar-store workplace. That felt unusually invasive ...
         One of the inspections against us is an unannounced showing up of an overseer late at night, after we've already closed everything: we start rolling down the gate and the overseer comes into the scene. We have to return inside, all the registers are checked again, all the books and we have to show the contents of our purses. I am amazed by that every time, since we are not really allowed to approach the customers about thieving, we are in fact discouraged to even be on the lookout for probable shoplifters, even though we find evidence (empty boxes and whatnot) by the dozens every day. But cashiers, we are to have our purses inspected. At least on the boat, they were looking for firearms and explosives, which made sense. Here they just seem to look for more ways to degrade the workers. 
          Guess how many people think that is normal?
