Antiwork

So last month my area got hit with a Decent Blizzard, we ended up with about a foot of snow in 24 hours. My dad called in due to the Highway Patrol closing the roads within 200 miles of us. So I just found out his job wrote him up for not coming in any way because he drives a 4X4 vehicle so “he should have been able to get to work”.

A month ago I came into work and a leak had started directly over our cash wrap (so registers/light fixtures/light-up signs, the only counter space we have). And when I say leak, I mean more of a downpour of ceiling water.
