So, I'm at lunch have some good-ish news about the situation.

The supervisor below management and above us, who runs our crew, wanted to have a talk with us and the owner of the store so that's what we did before we got down to work today. We went over a lot of what really is our job and what is not. Which was helpful, because more often than not we just get thrown into whatever needs doing regardless of department.

We also, well me more than anyone, straight up asked about being threatened with punishment if we didn't stay over time. He kind of beat around the bush but when I basically equated it to kidnapping he said quite a few times he would be talking about that to the manager who said it. He also said, in a bit of double speak, that they CAN punish us but it would be for lack of productivity and not because we just did not stay. From what I understood out of his response was that he threw his manager halfway under the bus, she can't reprimand us for leaving but she can if picks aren't done. Which, they always are so basically her threatening us was for not.

We also learned that they are hiring ever more people for our skeleton crew and are trying to over staff us so that everything that has been happening becomes a non-issue because there will just be so many people to take care of it. Which doesn't hurt me at all.
