Yes, if he was on the store's owned/leased real estate then they have every right to tell him what he can and can not do.

I want to make it clear for everyone.
I am using my own internet service through a Sprint wireless Datacard.
I am using my own personal computer.
I am on the companies property.
I was on my unpaid lunch break.

Depends on your state laws. It could be one of those states that they can terminate you for any reason they want (or no reason at all). I would suggest looking for another job immediately and then tell your boss he is a closed-minded idiot and can find another obedient cog for his workforce.
In Florida I think they can fire you for any reason.

So telling the poor OP to illegally and surrepticiously record his boss to use in court is not legal advice? Sounds like evidence gathering advice to me.

Nobody on this thread is giving anything other than their OPINION or their personal advice.
I haven't seen one member start their thread with "I am an attorney and this is what you should do".
Let's get over that part.
This is a discussion board, one of our members posted an experience he had at work and asked us for what we thought.
That's it.
Oh and for the wannabe lawyers out there, ATS has no clue what the "true identity and location" of ANY of our members are.
Why would we? HOW would we?
Seriously, the guy asked for our opinions and suggestions.
His boss is apparently a power tripping punk who is in a dead end job and hates his life so much he wants to be a dick to those who under him (and who he probably knows will be way more successful in life).
Yes, if he was on the store's owned/leased real estate then they have every right to tell him what he can and can not do.
That aside, why would anyone want to be such a jerk to an employee?
To make himself feel BIGGER, that's why...
Pitiful.
