I've seen firefighters leave the market to answer a call and the market staff have to put their baskets in the cooler until they can return. What Mr. Cote doesn't understand, or is trying to change, is that the city pays for their on-duty meals. Does he expect them to pay for and haul a cooler of food to the station when they show up for a hitch? He must think they work 9 to 5 and go home every day like him.
