....aaaand their job depends on expressing and enforcing policy received
from store management. Like, they might get fired for following the law,
even when they do know it.

And store management gets mandates from the higher ups, no choice, and
the higher ups (right up to the C's) think they're above the law and will
try to get away with anything they can. Lie. Cheat. Steal. Repeat.

God knows, I've had to enforce ridiculous policies, and when the customer
has a fit about how poorly they were treated, by the *policy* which is
from management not me, *I* get written up for it. Damned if you do,
damned if you don't. The write up is actually the best case scenario, so
long as the manager has your back.

In short, people be people. Sometimes they suck. Try hard not to blame
the peon or think them ignorant.
