That entirely depends on the job. I worked retail management for a store that had a lot if single parents that had two jobs. I’d cut them slack if they were late getting from one job to another. Im a lot less inclined to tolerate lateness when someone doesn’t have other responsibilities. When their lateness forces others to stay late to cover them it is a problem.

    I'm all for tolerance but why should the circumstances of the individual matter? A single non-parent might have just as good a reason for being late.

    If they are chronically late then they aren’t going to have good reasons.

    Retail isn't important enough to be on time for.

    Then don’t take those jobs. There’s no justification for being selfish.

    The principals of retail is capitalism whose driving force is selfishness.

    Why stay late? Just leave. You're not getting OT.

    Company's shit is company's shit. End of shift ut stops being your problem.

  • If you are salaried you can’t “just leave”. If you are hourly you can but you might want to be seen as the person willing to help out when needed because that dies get reciprocated presuming your managers are normal human beings.

    At this place part timers were getting full benefits so most would be willing to help because only a fool would give up that job.
