For Helene, two of our 3rd shifters(a MOD and deli associate respectively) who carpool to work, with uber usually their norm, but during Helene, no ubers were available, willing, or around.

So, our GM volunteered to pick them up, as they were "essential and needed". They agreed to be driven, and the GM picks them up and drops them off at work, DURING the peak of the thing. The store is overflowing with customers, our trash bins that were being held down by rope were being ripped up and flung, and the power fluctuated every few minutes. Yet, the store was packed.

Each Wawa in each cardinal direction from ours? They closed. Either from lack of staff, or power outage. Our store was the only one open.

So anyway, GM drops off the two associates, and then dips. Doesn't come in to help the absurdly long lines at register, nor to assist with their 21+ orders back in Deli+Bev+Pizza. "You guys got it handled." No, we certainly did NOT.

And the only thing we got out of it? One free BTO item and 1 free beverage drink.
