Puhleeze. If you don't like the pay policy, get another retail job. According to the US Dept. of Labor, there's a high demand for retail workers, so you shouldn't have a problem. And how is this a lawsuit? Unless your pay turns out to fall below the Federal minimum wage, how is what they're doing illegal? Just because you don't like the policy doesn't make it illegal. Yes, it seems unfair. Yes, it seems a bit out of your control (such as when customers return items), so, if you don't like it, get another job. It's THAT simple. By the way, the retail industry is a hierarchy. There is defintiely a pecking order. Maybe you're not suited for retail...

Rosa: The Only way to get Dillards to properly treat their employees is to form a Class Action Suit against the Company. You may have read a comment that I made on anothers compalint. Answer, well I contacted an attorney, he did not give her the answer that she wanted to hear, so she gave up. First, have all your ducks in all row, which means, have your discovery prepared. Cut and paste all of the complaints on this site would be a good indication that you have a valid complaint. Also, Dillards is a large company, so I suggest that you contact a large Law Firm. It takes a Firm that has enough resources to present a case against a Large company like Dillards. Don't be disheartened if a firm turns you down. There is always someone out there who is looking to handle a case just like this. Just for the prestige. Next contact the local media and have them go under cover applying for a job at Dillards, so that they can document yours and others complaints. Dillards won't like to see themselves on 60 Minutes etc. The National exposure will hurt them emensely. Americans don't shop at sweat shops. Finally, don't be afraid of retaliation from Dillards. Federal Laws prevent employers from firing whistle blowers and you can be paid royally for your effort. Good Luck
