Part-Time Employee Denied Time Off for Brother's Marine Graduation

At the Prescott Arizona store a part time employee, young college age girl, asked for time off to attend her brother's graduation from Marine Corp. Boot camp. In case you are not aware, Marine boot camp is as tough as it gets and is a very big deal for graduation. If 500 kids graduate, 499 parents and their families attend. Either the store manager or the assistant equated the graduation of a United States Marine to "any other dog and pony show that comes along". The young woman was denied time off and ultimately quit her job so as to support her brother at graduation. Does Costco support military families or is it just another money grabbing company that makes such false claims. Is it impossible to arrange a few days off for a part time employee? Is one person that valuable? If so why not promote her. Disgusted with Costco. Steamed in Fort Worth, Texas
