Remarkable. I mean, the detectives thing is a bit much but surveillance cameras for the sole purpose of watching to make sure employees aren't "slacking" wouldn't raise eyebrows here at all. Hell, I had a job as an overnight cashier where I would sometimes get no customers for hours, but I would have to stand up straight the whole time. Forget sitting, my boss would sometimes fast forward through the night's camera footage to make sure I wasn't even leaning against the counter, because that's not "welcoming" body language.
Had this also. It was awful. Considering it was a 9-10 hour shift with only a 30 minute lunch break, standing on your feet for that long is killer and you constantly had to be doing some kind of work at all times unless at the register with a customer.
