I work at Lowe's and I see a lot of the employees taking extra breaks or just hanging out with each other and talking. Its not that there isn't anything to do (they can always straighten shelves) its just that there aren't any pressing projects or maybe a lull in customers...so they goof off. Down time happens everywhere.

I see your point Pico. I broke it down into very simplistic terms, saying "this happens and it shouldn't" but I do understand there are other circumstances. I can't say that in an office we don't occasionally step away and chat.
Some of us come to the Cellar! Not me...
I really hope that things work out for the best for the employees and their families, and for our country. I have no idea what is best!
