"Employees had taken it upon themselves to institute this change; it was not condoned or approved," said Whitson spokeswoman Holly Von Seggern. "We had absolutely no idea."
I don't buy that line for a friggin second.
There's an old business truth. Don't expect employees to think or act like an owner because they're not. They have no stake in the business. For the most part they're there to do their job and get a pay check. This kind of shit is top down, not bottom up. You don't get multiple people to change policy on their own because they'd be in fear of losing their jobs if they did. No upside, all down side. Even low domes are not that tarded. You think that some fuck working at McDonalds gives a flying shit if s/he gives you one pack of catsup or five?
