This letter is intended to respect you people as people. Adhere to it or other measures will have to be taken to replace you. I am sorry if this hurts your feelings, but I am not running a business for your benefit. I expect a minimum- I repeat myself- a minimum of 40 hours per week. No one is exempt from this.
I suggest that you people buy enough cigarettes to keep here for yourselves to smoke because, by God, you will not go and buy them on my time.
Anyone that needs to be off for whatever the various reasons may be, as long as they notify someone and do not make a habit of it, I will be more than glad to respect your wish providing you respect the one I have just said above.
