If you're going to inconvenience your employees by searching their bags,おおくら ポルノ映画 the least you can do is pay them for that time.
Apple, a company with $207.6 billion in its reserves, doesn’t pay retail employees for time spent undergoing a search of their bags and backpacks before they leave. Managers or security personnel also check the serial numbers of employees' personal iPhones to make sure they're not stolen property.
