From Redditor /u/banterfluff:
I was told just this week that it's against company policy for employees to put their hands in their apron pockets however briefly. I laughed.

(#1) Don't Lick The Reptiles
From Redditor /u/SyNiiCaL:
I work in a large pet store. When going through Step 2 training, [in] our reptile booklet it states, "Do not lick the reptiles."

(#2) Get A Manager's Approval Before Contacting Security
From Redditor /u/thesublieutenant:
I'm not allowed to contact mall security or the police without district manager approval.
I could have been just robbed at gun point in my store. My first call is supposed to be my DM to tell them I got robbed and "Can I pretty please call the police?"
…The store is a high-end retailer, so apparently it's because they don't want the negativity that is the police or mall security showing up being associated with the brand.

(#4) Hide Your Phone… Every Inch Of It
From Redditor /u/lemunplej:
Not allowed to have our phones even be visible on the sales floor, meaning if my phone is even poking a little bit out of my pocket, I'm gonna hear about it.
I don't care though and I don't want to leave it in a locker for my entire shift in case something important comes up (or I need to ID a song on the speakers).

(#6) No Water Allowed During A Shift
From Redditor /u/TheSgnarf:
We aren't allowed to drink water, we are cashiers at a grocery store and even on the summer's hottest days we are expected to go three – four hours without anything to drink. Now I'm a rebel, so I do it anyway because it's necessary for survival n' sh*t and most of my supervisors won't give me flak. But it's still there, and certain people will make a big deal of it.
