Still much better than the United Club.
I think that what you may also be seeing is the results of the great economic boom with the subsequent decline in the unemployment rate. There just aren't enough workers to go around at lower level jobs anymore.

My athletic facility has been open on Christmas day for the past 30 years since I have been going there. This year, they had to close. They just could not find staff to cover the day. I guess UA was lucky enough to find someone to cover Christmas for the Polaris lounge.
