Last week a worker at my ex-place of work was killed in a car accident. Everyone knew him and he was well loved by everyone.
Many people got told about his death at work so alot of people went home and cancelled shifts and whatnot which is understandable cause some people had also gone to High-school with him etcetc.
Yet the customers kept complaining about a lack of checkouts open. Our store boss told them there was an incident and he had sent people home because they were in no state to work. At that time we had just come from the managers office where we found out and were going home (some people were in uniform) and of course we all crying and had bloodshot eyes. We couldn't close the store because we are a chain of stores and there would probably be an uproar if we were closed for one day for 'no reason'. The customers reply? 'They should just suck it up, you have to work to keep the business going'
Our store manager just glared at them and walked away.
