31. Other Big Boxes do the same thing. I know someone...
Edited on Tue Mar-01-05 01:52 PM by Armstead
My neice's boyfriend worked for one of the Big Box chains, supposedly on the night shift til 5 a.m. But they kept the doors locked until 8 a.m. so he and his fellow shift workers had to hang around for a couple of hours doing nothing.
