Miscarriages are incredibly more frequent than most people realize. Trying to tie it to a pizza parlor's working conditions is almost laughable.
If anything, the general ignorance of how common miscarriages are would be a better argument in this topic.
i apologize if i came across as making light of the issue or that i might have some special insight on the subject. I'm not a medical professional. i can only say what the other staff relayed to me. there are more personal stories i could mention but they're not mine to talk about.
i will say that these conditions were not typical, however. we were one of the busiest stores in the country, in the deep south, in a building in poor repair with an oven that probably wasn't ventilated correctly, with tight quarters.
we did so much business, towers of pizza boxes were stacked wherever there was space, so you had to walk through a maze of them to get anywhere -- no one had time to fold anymore when the rushes hit. deliveries were often late and stress levels were often high. it was hot, loud, and cramped all the time and behind it all, the ringing of phones. i still have nightmares about that ringing.
honestly, the store was probably just detrimental to human life in general, but the majority of the inside staff were women, so they suffered the brunt of it.
they did remodel a few years after i left. hopefully it's gotten better.
