As he opened it for her, he growled "You're late." I'm sorry, but I was told to be here at nine o'clock. I got here at ten till, but the doors were lo...ked." I have no use for excuses! My employees know they are to be here at least fifteen minutes before their shifts."Don't back down. It's not personal or a MORFS thing.
