This chapter examines the pervasive practice of foot-dragging among superstore workers, a form of resistance against the imposition of capitalist work discipline. Despite nearly every worker interviewed acknowledging its ubiquity, few openly admitted to engaging in it, mirroring Alena Ledeneva's findings on “blat” in the Soviet economy. Narratives reveal two primary perspectives: frustration with coworkers’ idling and an understanding of the motivations behind it. Workers like Anna and Benjamín attributed foot-dragging to institutional neglect, citing poor management and the impersonal nature of large corporations. David and Zach highlighted the perception that hard work goes unrewarded, leading to apathy among long-term employees. Paul and Teresa acknowledged the role of economic precarity and managerial coercion in fostering this behavior. Conversely, Cindy, Nathan, and Victoria openly discussed their own foot-dragging practices. Cindy described “empty labor,” time spent on non-work activities due to inefficient job structures. Nathan attributed his and his coworkers’ behavior to the “slave-driving” conditions of corporate workplaces. Victoria, uniquely, found her job “relaxing” due to the extended periods of downtime she claimed. These narratives collectively illustrate how workers reclaim autonomy and assert dignity in dehumanizing environments. Foot-dragging, whether a deliberate act of resistance or a consequence of structural inefficiencies, represents a significant form of worker agency within the superstore context.
