Store Counters with Built-in Retractable Wheels

There should be store counters with built-in retractable wheels to facilitate movement of the counters with all products intact when necessary. All wheels on these particular counters would be connected to a lever that, when pushed or pulled, would simultaneously release or retract the wheels. The lever could also be utilized to anchor the counters without drilling them to floors, and easily releasing them when necessary. This would save stores a lot of time and hassle, not to mention the billions of dollars that they spend for remodeling ventures that involve moving counters/merchandise and hiring temps for this purpose. It would also salvage products that are damaged during said ventures, and create safer working conditions for employees.

Inclement Weather Pay for All or Employees Earning Slightly Above, At, or Below Livable Wages

When employees cannot work due to no fault of their own, such as during inclement weather (snow days, etc.), they are traditionally not paid for those days and suffer loss of a significant portion of their income in some instances. Accordingly, many employees suffer financial hardship, or must forego or delay paying certain bills for these days missed; and this simply shouldn’t be so...

Companies should pay their employees, or at least those earning slightly above, at, or below livable wages, for work missed due to inclement weather, as the duty of an employer is to sustain those who help to sustain business.
