We were shopping today at a local chain, retail store. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The store was very busy. Chatting with the 2 staff on cash and they said that “due to staffing issues”, they were the only 2 booked for the entire day.
I encouraged them to lock the doors and take their lunch breaks. They were concerned about getting in trouble if their boss found out. I reminded them they didn't create the shortage and they were entitled to eat their lunch!
Hopefully they did lock the doors. Both were super employees and deserved better.
