I worked for Joann's and yes every time you left your purse was checked, also while you are waiting up front to go home at closing time, they are in the back going through your smock pockets while you wait to be let out of the store to go home and you are OFF the clock, all it took for me was one night I waited 20 minutes OFF the clock to go home and they were in the back going through every ones smock pockets and their lockers. Off the clock, that is all it took for me, I don't know about you all but when I get off work I am tired and want to go home and NOT spend 20 minutes of MY time waiting for them to find something to fire someone over.
