I really wish there was an alternative for complaining/publicizing stupid shit that businesses do. Last year I had friends working at a Target when that bomb threat bullshit over Pride merch happened - their store refused to let the employees EVACUATE after a threat was called in. Twitter would have been the place to shame that.

If there's an emergency, just leave. There's no way HR can approve a disciplinary action for leaving an unsafe work environment. Put all your money and stuff away and leave.

The people working at Target might not be able to afford the time or the lawyer it takes to defend their rights.
