The compacted snow basically becomes ice, so it takes longer to melt than snow

Low barrier to entry jobs all have extremely abusive environments as they are touted as jobs that the employee should be grateful for because they are told it's an unskilled job. Unfortunately the vast majority of employees in the industry (not top earning chefs but other back of the house staff) believe this bs about it being unskilled and do have to capitulate to the abusive boss because they are dependent on the income.

This is where unions can be useful or even just open discussion among the workers, both of which are federally protected rights that restaurants are caught breaking often. Law breaking of worker rights is so prevalent that businesses are legally required to post certain laws, and they still break them!
