As a famous blues standard goes, "Saint Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go, I owe my soul to the company store." This was of course in reference to the scammy turn-of-the-century American practice of large companies cornering their employees to buy their necessary goods from their "company store," where an endless cycle of debt and credit would keep workers working for basically no money. It was an outrageous practice that the American workforce have tried hard to get away from. Or so we thought.

There are plenty of ways that the contemporary workplace steals from their workers, in so many words. For example, being forced to work late nights just because everyone else is, and you risk getting fired if you refuse. Or your workplace forcing you to buy your work uniform from them, and then holding you responsible for any damages to it. Or, as we learned in this story, suggesting, but really forcing you to donate part of your wages to an organization that funds you.
