The reason is no one knows what the storm is going to do, and the powers that be have to make a call early on. Safety is always the best tact to take, and the employees of all the establishments we are not happy with being closed have families and homes they may have needed to take care of during the storm and after. We had this same issue when I worked at FedEx. People forgot during these times that we, too, had homes and family to take care of and worry about. Thankfully, FedEx got that.
