“Plumbing as an excuse for avoiding 60 days notice however is NOT good if that is really the case.”
The thing is, they’re paying all of the employees 60 days of wages (or giving them the choice to relocate to another store). So they didn’t get out of anything.
They’re giving away all of the perishable goods to local food banks. Massive money loss there.
None of this makes sense.
Unless they really did have a plumbing problem that would get the store condemned.
