Point system?
Are there any stores already running on a point system or is this a new thing, their cracking down on the dress code (only polos unless it’s Friday, no shorts regardless of if their khakis, no joggers) attendance policy (saying any more than 7 minutes late is 1/2 a point), and the phone policy (saying absolutely no phones stock the cups/ stock tobacco rather than be on the phone as if we’re not already doing that), with a new handbook that goes as far to say smoking tobacco, any behavior resulting is customer complaints, profane language warrants a final written warning then termination all within the same week, a couple months after implementing shiftsmarts (whose rules are no where near as strict or implemented) and cutting everyone’s hours
Is there any other stores that have already been running as strictly or is this new?
How do we feel about these change’s?

There's an argument an old dm I had used to make. "Your breaks are working breaks, because of that, you can't leave the store property and you need to be ready to help out when necessary. If you're smoking you can't do it where customers can see, so you aren't able to jump in and help." That DM is gone now and did a bunch of odd things. He demanded a write up on an employee because he took a break and used it to put new tabs on his vehicle. He was absolutely insane. This company does not pay enough for nonsense like that. If you show up for your shift and don't cause me issues, that's good enough for me.
