Got a call from DM, add hours.

"We're not concerned about what you use." What a joke...they terminated too many. There is no help to take in all the freight and process. And worse, no one to put it away.

Clean stores

All of our hand sanitizing stations broke after a week. We were told to tape them back together! The wipes we have are all dried out and we were told to add water to them so they feel moist. Such a joke.
