It would be a good idea to call OSHA also, but since they have been gutted by the current administration I'm not sure they can be much help. I've seen stores closed by the health department for this.",

We (my SM and ASM) had been sending numerous ticket requests just for them to be closed out by Corporate, who'd send technicians that gave us very short, temporary fixes before our AC would stop working again within a few days. \n\n \nFinally, after having to prematurely close our store down over 2-3 times in less than a week, Corporate and our DM finally started paying attention to us and began sending electricians and the HVAC people to our location to diagnose our HVAC system. Apparently, according to the electrician, there was nothing wrong with the AC on his field, so it was up to the HVAC people to investigate further since there was nothing he could do. \n\nWhile all this back-and-forth was happening, we were still expected by our DM (who additionally has never even worked in a DG store) to open every single morning, just to close early every noon when the heat became too intolerable.
