My mom has a similar situation at Home Depot, she actually said they finally adjusted the temperature when the customers complained. Naturally they couldn’t care less about the employees, but at least they did provide water.

LOL! Thought about Home Depot, but the store is clearly in worse shape and so are the employees.
And here’s the thing, they don’t have to care about employees. Worker’s comp insurance is a big fucking deal, I know, worked for payroll place. One ding sets them back far more than 1,000 cases of water.
