My STL wasn't there this Xms eve but he is the best STL we have had by far. The ETLs we had that night tried to get us out soon after 11, one was doing carts even. It ended up being the GSTL holding everyone up with the registers.
If spot can covince enough to work on xmas AM then sure, but there will be call outs galore if they try and force people. And there isn't a damn thing spot can do about it either. Hell I have an amazing attendance record, I'LL call out on an xmas AM shift.
