Any truth to rumors that hours are about to get cut for the front end again?

They always get cut this time of year but the issues has become they are not going to help out stores with SPA hours any more. Budgets are already in there for rest of fiscal year but they go month to month to add hours if they think they need to but budgets are going to be very tight because this company is bleeding money and the most controllable expense is payroll at store level. Budgets are going to be very difficult for the rest of the year after schools let out and they won’t go back up until school goes back in the fall. Most likely we are going to see budgets like what we had in 2009 that were extremely difficult for the entire spring/summer months because of the recession.
