add to cart   close window

The article describe the attitude of managers and working conditions of the waitresses of the Little Tea Room , departmental store at Gimbel. The advertisement in the department store owned by the brothers Gimbel, just indicted for profiteering on some 207 different counts. Perhaps if Gimbel's employees had not been labor profiteers, the gentlemen now out on bail would not have been forced to retaliate on the public. The working hours are very long and tired the waitresses. The psychology developed in the managers is that customers are regal persons to be bowed and scraped to, their every whim should be gratified and the greatest deference shown them.
