It reminds me of what used to be a lovely locally owned bakery near us. The owner retired, and the changes with the new owner were stark: higher prices, lesser quality in the ingredients, and poor service. The reason for the poor service was that she would constantly berate her employees and point out how they never did anything right, and the rest of the time she would seethe without saying anything. We stopped going, and there were many other locals who did as well. You could feel it in the air. We felt sorry for the employees, but couldn’t reward the new owner with our business.
This is not the checklist of an owner trying to protect their staff. This is a manifesto from an owner who is announcing how toxic they are to their staff with every phrase.

It is large, but not unreasonably so for the area around a mid sized Midwestern city. It stays well clear of the abomination size range that Cleveland gave the world. https://www.sweetiescandy.com/
