Treating employees like they are in the army is all good in theory, but in real life and in a good country, when you actually need people to deliver mattresses at a poor wage, you should probably be open on things that don't actually matter.
I would imagine the value this policy added is that when an employee breaks a policy the first time and the company works around a reasonable compromise and the same employee comes back and not only blatently breaks the rule and then acts like an ass about it that he doesn't get to decide what rules he follows or not.

With the number of employees that Sleep Country has I am not sure it is a great policy to allow employees to decide what rules they follow and which rules they break, especially not at the lowest level of employment.
