a while 1 enjoy this but i have been faced with some trying Situa one is the reason for my i would like to know where does it state that As must be searched on a regular basis i feel this is very degrading and if you Are wondering if we have Ever complained about the response is yes but obviously we Haven received a satisfying first let me say that we Are All for some Type of Security but we also feel we have to get the treatment of a common criminal every employee must make Pur chases in customer none of us minds this at the time of Pur a supervisor must be he signs All of our receipts

unstable our bagged Check inside our bags and re Staple then we Board our our Sta signed fondled merchandise is placed in one locker for the entire these Are All Security one might think this is enough Security to last a unfortunately cafes Doest after we work ail put up with some of the rudest we end our Day with Security measures its time to Check our merchandise All Over at this Point we Are All pretty tired of being checked out for what really tops off this procedure is the women must get their purses searched As Well As their stapled this Man opens our purse and fumbles around in our private this makes us feel As if we cantle if you cant Trust your whom can you Trust we have never witnessed any member of management being it is one thing to search but a woman purse is the one thing she owns containing her own be longings and personal when i travel around the one question i ask other cafes have they Ever countered this form of Security the reply is always what is the difference Between a customer woman leaving the Exchange with her purse or an employee leaving at the end of the Day with hers i am sure they will never have the nerve to search a customers if the men employees dont have a they Are entitled to walk right what about their wallets we feel that the entire Security system should be withheld Germany editors note master Bruce customer relations Public
