…but the reality is much sadder.
I work as a shift lead. Yesterday I was working at a different location and I happened to be chatting with an employee. He told me his parking was expensive but he had to drive today instead of taking public transportation because his GM called him in an hour early. He told me his parking would be 17.50. Well, I had the unfortunate circumstance of explaining to this poor 17yr old that if he makes 15.50 an hour, he actually paid 2 dollars to work! I told him to ask his GM to pay his parking for today from the register, but he just it's no big deal. I said she might not like it, but she had two call outs and you saved her ass today, also I've seen receipts showing she does this for her own parking. He said he knew managers did that etc. But he told me to forget about it. The whole situation made me sad/angry. Thoughts?
