Why can't I work for Target and Best Buy at the same time?

Question

This is stupid, i just got the job at Target. but then Best Buy calls me, i told them im still interested to work for them because i want another part time job. They told me they can't because they are competitors with Target and that i could only work for them if i quit Target, how the heck are they competitors with Target. But seriously, whats the big deal, do they think ill tell the other employer their plans or something.

Answer 1

Would you let someone that works at YOUR McDonalds work at someone else's Burger king across the street also???

Answer 2

its called a conflict of intrest. its like an actor going on t.v and saying this is the best brand but then 5 minutes later saying something esle is.

Answer 3

You would really want your employees working for a competitor.  What are you thinking?
