Store Worker Agreement

I understand that working in the Thrift Store is like working anywhere else at Free Geek.

I understand that bags and personal items are to be checked at the front desk while I am volunteering.

I understand that I will have the same access and privileges to shop in the store as any other volunteer, but no more.

I understand that while I am on a shift, I may not purchase items. I understand I will only be allowed to purchase items before my shift begins, or after I have logged my hours. And I understand why I have to actually go all the way around and come in through the front door before buying anything from the store.

I understand I will not be allowed to set aside items for later purchase without approval from a Store Staff member. I understand that this approval will never be granted for rare or valuable items such as laptops, LCD monitors, cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, or most other items that have a strong demand. Basically, I understand that this request will be approved only for unexciting and lame items and that the answer to such requests will often be “no.”

I understand the true meaning of the phrase, “stroke the precious,” and I agree not to do it.

I agree that while on shift, I will not “tip-off” anyone else about the presence of store items.

I agree that while volunteering, I will not solicit personal business in the store.

I understand that the appearance of slacking is bad for business. I agree to take appropriate breaks, and do things like checking personal email, reading Boing Boing, texting, sexting, yakking and/or eating anything that involves sauce or utensils on these breaks, outside the store.

I agree to not perform any physical repairs on a customer's stuff. I understand that by making even minor repairs, or even touching customers' gizmos, I would be opening up a can likely filled with poo.

I am not afraid to say “I don't know.” In fact, these are my three, new favorite words, and I agree to say them whenever appropriate.
