Due to the big snowstorm and frigid weather our trash company decided not to pick up this Mon, Tues, and Wednesday. I lugged all the trash out only to lug it back in when I finally found out what was going on, no biggie, as I did not want their drivers to suffer. So the this weeks trash will just be picked up next week on the normal day. I did not really expect or want a credit, which like I assumed we will not be getting. But what really pissed me off is it looks like their drivers are not getting paid. I take issue with that since I feel the trash company is making money at their drivers expense. I realize that these guys did not work, but I feel that since the company will make the same money they do on a normal month they should not penalize their guys for an act of God. This is a small local company and when the owner heard I asked about it she sent me an email telling me it was between her and her employees and she was surprised I had the nerve to ask. I told her like many people I like to know a little bit about the companies I do business with and how they treat their people and that many people I know will not shop at Wall Mart for this very reason that. I doubt I will get a reply back. I don't know any of the drivers but I know the work their butts off, and knowing they are not getting paid is really pissing me off.

What do you think?
