I think a stool or two at the Locker Room should be open if you get there early enough. Might be best to camp outside the door and be the first ones in.

I worked at Peter Changs for 4 years and worked a 12 hour double shift every Christmas. You don't need to lecture me. If you have loved ones to celebrate with, it sucks to be forced or pressured to work on Christmas.

In my case, I had no one to in Richmond to celebrate with and I really didn't to drive hundreds of miles to have an awkward Christmas with my very emotionally distant family. The work was exhausting but by the end of the day we were punch-drunk, drunk-drunk, and had earned a week's pay in a single day.

Also it's depressing to have no one to celebrate with and nowhere to go on Christmas. I'm glad there are some places people can go and be around others instead of having no choice but sitting alone in an empty home.

That can be a viable business model, but only for high end restaurants and bars. Providing good working conditions, benefits, and fair pay is expensive and those costs are passed on to the customer.

Jasper is a good example of this. They attract talent by offering a great work environment and fair pay/benefits but it costs an arm and a leg to drink there. If we want that kind of work environment to be the norm we have to be willing for those prices to be the norm. A lot of people are not willing to pay that price.
