Are you advocating for not giving workers breaks, or is this just a very stupid topic

There's a Gamestop near me that does that. Not all of them seem to only have one person working at a time though.

I wish I worked at Gamestop. Be cool. Hang out do nothing, push maybe a Game Doctor (remember that?) Or a magazine. So few customers nowadays anyways.

good management means you got good coverage so people can call out sick and it doesn't require the store to close

Youre also the kind of person who makes topics bitching about companies calling people in on their days off or forcing them to work when sick

stay ideologically consistent imo

I wouldnt be shocked if they have 1 guy run the store from open to close all week with an area manager that just pops in from time to time to make sure the store hasnt burned down.

This in an over exaggeration of Gamestop's failures remember that stock scandal, but still. There is like a worker or two at mine when I popped in.

I never actually had a bad experience there hah

How many people should be on the clock on any given day so that there is never a day where this happens?

4? 5? 10?

how many people does it typically take to run a specialty store that no one shops at anymore?

having more coverage is against worker's rights?

do you not understand one of the biggest complaints today is they fire all your coworkers and throw their load onto you?

The Lids in my local mall has a sign like that about 30% of the time I'm there.

Either "At Lunch, will be back at __:___" or "Store Closed for the day. Closer called out sick"

Having to be there for the store to be open means their load wasn't increased to the maximum?

I'm surprised that it is even a surprise.

That's pretty normal at my place, and no one bats an eye, at least in malls.

Oh no, shoped is closed because the guy had to go to the toilet/have lunch? Duh, then I simply have to wait a bit, look around and come back in like 10 minutes.
