      But stores already had these things in place, and the original investment/cost was already spent.

      Removing those safeguards seems to have been done out of spite. And to whose benefit? It just creates additional strain on employees, who will get sick more often.

        Yeah, but then the staff get sick and they can find some reason to cut their hours or fire them. Then replace them with new hires that are paid less and get less in benefits and compensation.
