I do appreciate all the suggestions. I’ll check back on this thread tomorrow(at work) and try to implement some of them.
But right now I have to get in bed so I can be at work at 7:30. I know, we don’t officially open till 8 but....And leave at 7 tomorrow night. It is hard “just being a drone” but someone has to open the doors, make the coffee, answer the phones, direct customers to the bathrooms, cut the heat on(jeez!), help people find their family members looking to pick up service customers, direct the car haulers to the proper spots, etc. etc.....All for no Money!
If you’re dead set against making lemonade find out what the experts say.

Alabama does not have any state laws governing wage and hour issues. Therefore, employers must follow federal guidelines set forth by the U.S. Wage and Hour Division, a division of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The U.S. Wage and Hour Division can be contacted in Montgomery at (334) 223-7450, in Birmingham at (205) 536-8570, or in Mobile at (251) 441-5311.
Their website is: http://www.dol.gov/whd/.
Topics covered by the U.S. Wage and Hour Division include:
• Wages
o Minimum Wage

it goes on and https://labor.alabama.gov/docs/pressreleases/uc_press%20release%20(oct.%20unemployment%20rate)%20112015.pdf released November 2015 says business of labor is booming so moving on might be a good possibility. Except in Choctaw county. Things aren’t so good there.
