The government shutdown that began on October 1 has left many government workers furloughed with immediate worries about their finances. However, one restaurant chain has taken the initiative to help out furloughed workers and give them a short break during the shutdown.
Peter Tabibian, co-founder of Z-Burger, and his staff offered free burgers to furloughed government workers from the first day of the shutdown until Thursday, October 3.
“The employees were working hard day and night, and it almost put me out of business honestly,” Tabibian says.
