Movie theater boss refuses to let employees leave until they've shoveled all the snow: 'He had gone outside... and wrote them up'

If my boss ever asked me to shovel snow all day instead of doing my job, I'd quit on the spot, and I know I'm not the only one. 

Snow shoveling is incredibly physically demanding, though it can also be rewarding. If you have the time to do it, it's nice to clear your driveway for your spouse, or help your neighbor get that dusting of snow off of your shared sidewalk space. It'll certainly get that heart rate up, not to mention the nice workout for your arm muscles. 

Still, unless you have a job where you always do physical labor, you probably don't expect to have to clear the snow from your workplace's parking lot. They have snow plows to do that! Snowblowers exist for a reason! The kids who worked at this movie theater certainly didn't expect to wake up and shovel snow all day instead of clipping tickets, but at least the employees took it in stride. 

Because this boss messed with teenagers, aka the sassiest creatures known to man, he got exactly what he asked for. It's a wonder they didn't start a snowball fight in the parking lot just to spite their boss!
