Cool Snow Thrower Pheomenina

A not so funny story about that family. The old man patriarch was so damn tight he could squeeze blood out of a nickle. One of the places was in a smaller customer area, and the old man started having the girls close up somewhat early if business was slow. The lighted sign was switched by a time switch, in the back room. This was mounted up high, and required getting up on a kitchen step stool to operate it. The old man dictated that the girls, when closing up early, switch off the lights at the time switch to save money. There's only one problem.........the cardboard protector keeping someone away from the terminals was GONE. I knew nothing about this.

One night I was out there, and somehow, someone mentioned that "so and so got the **** shocked out of her by that switch." and "could I take a look at it."

First, the poor girl was pregnant, second, she had to get up on the stool to operate the switch, and fourth, there was a conduit "right there" METAL to hang on to. She had evidently reached in and brushed against one terminal and got knocked on her ***

I had a VERY aggressive conversation with that f*cking old man. I made it INCREDIBLY clear to him that this kind of crap does not fly.
