Seriously. When I worked at Sam's Club as a cashier a few years back, they would work us through our breaks and move our hours around to not pay us OT.
Class action lawsuit was filed and everyone who was employed during that time period was paid. I didn't find out about the lawsuit until a year after I quit. Just got a random letter in the mail stating they were getting sued. They gave me right around $1,000 in the settlement.
The same thing happened to my older brother when he worked for UPS and to my girlfriend when she worked at Subway. Older brother received right around the same amount I did and they're still working on the Subway lawsuit.
I was never one to complain about these things because like Phlip stated, it pays for things and some people don't have that. Just hope these companies learn from this and give people the pay they deserve.
The only job I hated was Pizza Hut (had been unemployed for quite some time and wanted to get a temp job), but I was literally there for only a day. The neighborhoods were bad and all of the stories the employees were telling me on the first day made me think twice about it. I wasn't about to risk getting robbed at gunpoint for a measly $20-$30.
Every other job I've had has been cool. Co-workers were fun to be around with and management wasn't bad. Current job is definitely at 0. Absolutely love it.
