So, did they learn their lesson?
Yes they did! And they had been good workers up until that afternoon as well. Not sure what happened that day. They liked working with us. We were off the mine site proper so they got double pay. And we would be gone for over ten hours most days, so that meant another 50 cents an hour for all their hours. So instead of making $4 a day they were making around $18 for a 12-hour day. Plus $4 worth of candy bars a day.
