A GetGo spokesperson, Jim Sweeney, told KDKA: "The store was closed after a team member — the sole team member working in the GetGo at the time — had a negative experience with a guest. During the brief closure, the team member involved posted a handwritten sign in a store window making inaccurate claims about treatment by guests."

In a statement toPittsburgh City Paper, GetGo said, "This regrettable sign in no way reflects the appreciation our company and the dedicated Moon Township store team have for those we serve."

"The Team Member remains with the company and we are working with her to learn as much as possible about the situation and to offer any support needed," another GetGo spokesperson, Dan Donovan, told Insider.

The incident points to a larger pattern of workers getting fed up with issues like low wages andrude customersand leaving their jobs. A record4.4 million Americans quit their jobsin September, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said last week, withleisure and hospitality workers quitting at more than twice the average national rate.
