I work at Pretty Things, and while I wasn't working that day, I DID happen to be downtown and witnessed a lot of this crap going on. It's completely unfair for local businesses to be treated like this. They were blocking the Paperchase's door, they were kicking people off the street, being rude, and as noted-the permit wasn't even for our side of the street. Not a single person walked down past the store the 2 hours I was in there. I only got by because I pushed my way through. The city has to do something to protect their small businesses from this kind of crap. Small business is the heart of this city, and the council doesn't seem to care.
I wonder how long you were out sick with this cold. If you were there under 3 months and your voice is a requirement for your job(and there's no one to replace/cover for you while you're out) then a prolonged absense WOULD be grounds to let you go-like someone said earlier-what good is a dancer with a broken foot, especially if there is no one to play their part?
