According to union officials, cashiers at the chain are being forced to wear diapers so they won't take any bathroom breaks at work. It's hardly the way employees want to be pampered. The allegations are soiling the supermarket's reputation. Labor officials are looking into it -- getting to the bottom of this is their No. 1 priority.
