Those women are selfish.........and nervy! Who's to say their watch was right on time......5 minutes give or take is basically the same time. And for them to say it's illegal............illegal my a**! You have every right to close the shop about that time.....I see businesses close during the day for an hour or two because everyone decided to go for lunch....or had something to do. People are suppose to make appointments! Walk-ins welcome signs means appointment are the way to go, but "walk-ins welcome" As if we're making an exception for those who can't decide in advance what their doing on that afternoon. Personally, I wouldn't want my hair cut on a whim, by someone is done with their day. And another note, we reserve the right to refuse service........
The company doesn't have the right to garnish your paycheck for the TV. Accidents happen, and that is why they have insurance. You are lucky that you didn't get hurt! I hope you didn't get hurt. If you did, then the employer is responsible for your injuries, and maybe the TV/DVD was not placed in a safe spot or stable.
Please don't feel awful! None of this was your fault........you have good intentions.....and you stayed till closing, you did the laundry, you closed out the draw......where was everyone else! You deserve a Thank You, and they are lucky you didn't get hurt by the TV, you probably are a great employee to them, and what would they do, if you couldn't come to work the next schedule day if your arm or leg was broken by their wobbly TV!
I hope you enjoy your day off with plenty of relax time......don't worry about this
