So my friend Jack, heads down to his favorite fast food place, for breakfast. A cup of coffee, and one of those breakfast sandwiches. It's 9 o'clock, and normally the shop has been open for a couple of hours by now. Jack goes in a little later to avoid the rush.

But there's no rush today. In fact the fast food place isn't even open. A lady at the window explains that the workers haven't shown up for work. And she's not sure when, or if, they're coming in.
