I went to work on Wednesday, at six pm. I had a short shift and we were dead (It's a local grocery). The only people working the floor were myself and Sandy, a middle aged woman I work with. My boss (We call him Rob, my workplace is pretty casual) was in the corner office, just about twenty feet to the right of the entrance of the store, with the door closed. I could hear his phone ring occasionally. It was super quiet. Around eight pm (we are open until eleven pm), Rob came out of the office and told Sandy that she could go home early since the store was obviously deserted. The weather has been complete shit here the last few days- slick roads, harsh wind, raining off and on- so I figured people must just be staying in as much as possible.
