I once worked for a pharmacy. One year we had a bad ice storm. I live 35 minutes away on a good day and it was going to be a good 90 minutes in this ice. I drive to the store and there is no power. No power means no heat. I call the regional manager and let her know. She said “let customers in one at a time and ring them up by calculator.” When I said something about the heat, she said “don’t wear your coat so they know who works there.” She ended with “if you need me call the office and not my cell. I’m staying home due to the weather but I’ll check in every few hours”. I said “sure thing” and left. Quit the next day.

We were called heroes right before our pay was reduced. I never felt so honored

Thank you retail essential workers. The office will allow the entire store to share 2 pizzas once a month to show our appreciation.
