Legal Oversights of working alone?
Hi,
So I work alone at night for a small gas station anywhere from 4-8 hours by myself. Per company policy and explicit instruction I'm not allowed to close the store when I need to use the rest room and I'm expected and allowed to be away from the registers to grab stuff from the back. The important context here is that our store has self checkouts with the proper ID Lock outs that I then have to go check and ID for. I was wondering if I was putting myself at any legal risk or if the company was with this set up. My Mind first goes too if I or the company were to be liable under negligence if a minor was to steal alcohol while I was away doing something else then get drunk and cause some damage. I will try to respond with any clarifications or extra details in question. I will say they are doing their diligence in stating that I'm freely able to eat or use the restroom as needed.
