boss demands we stay open most major holidays
So as you can tell, i’m on shift on the 4th of July. Not that i’m even jazzed in the slightest about fireworks or patriotism, but all my friends and family have the day off - this includes service industry. I’ve basically had 5 customers today, no regulars, just rude people who don’t tip on their way to the lake. Small business, we don’t have a mandatory closed day like most other small owned shops in this city (who are considerably more successful) - I’m just burnt out. I’m not even asking for a paid day off, but it feels nonsensical and selfish to me to demand locations stay open when owners are taking the day off with their families. Definitely seems like a waste of money, and terrible for employee morale. Why are so many business owners like this, not seeing past their own greed?
