I work at a corporate coffee shop that serves what is possibly the most mediocre cheap coffee on the planet. Today, I worked window, which is typically my favorite position, but we have a blizzard warning in effect and the temperature was between -7 and -8 degrees (not considering the windchill). The kicker: I couldn't wear a jacket. We are only allowed to wear company jackets which we have to pay for out of our paychecks and I already can't afford food right now. I did wear a long sleeve shirt under my uniform, but that really isn't enough. We have a heater above our window but that only does so much and my coworkers will turn it off because it gets too hot for them. The store was practically dead the whole time (other than the drive through) so they definitely lost more profit than they brought in. I just don't understand why we had to be open in the first place after the city asked us to stay home and off the roads. The only reason I went in/didn't walk out is because they decided not to schedule me this week with no notice, so I had to beg for shifts. Maybe I'm overreacting but I don't think any of us should have had to deal with that kind of cold without a jacket on, even if it's only for moments at a time.
