I just came from our favorite local place where we eat dinner on a regular basis so they know us. None of the employees scheduled to work on Monday have told their manager that they want the day off. They're just not coming in. Period. The manager is keeping the restaurant open and several of the managers and waiters are going to cook.

The principle is that regardless of your opinions, it is not right to do that to your employer who does feed your family in exchange for your efforts. What about doing the ethical thing and at least having some kind of courtesy as people for the people you work with day after day? The manager asked us to come in on Monday to support their efforts to keep the business running. I told her I'd volunteer my efforts - I'm donning my Cordon Bleu Apron and Hat and doing something.
