When the burners of the stove are providing the heat...and then heating the water, I call that an unsafe and unsanitary environment. I recognize that the building "heats up" during the day. People themselves give off heat but I challenge any one of us to report for work and begin our day in 44 degree temperatures. These women are very pleasant; they obviously enjoy serving the public and do their very best to maintain a pleasant attitude. I commend them all for their work ethic and attitude. And I still think the owners should fix the furnace.
It sounds unsafe and unsanitary, and if that is the case no cheerleading can overcome the issues. The end does not justify the means and I bet their insurance company would agree.
