We had a fire drill today.
So, there we are, the whole staff, standing in a group at the designated meeting place on the edge of the parking lot.
A car pulls in and drives past us and slowly up to the door, then back to where we were standing.
She rolled down her window and asked, "So, does this mean I can't get into the store?"
"Gee, I don't know, lady. You do the math on that one."
I mean, really, if it had been a real emergency, wouldn't that have been nice with her pulling up to the doors to try and get in?
We told her to wait just a few minutes, as we were having a fire drill and it would be over as soon as we took a roll call.
She drove out, but I did see her come back a short time later.
We had announced the fire drill over the PA a few minutes before hand.
One of the sales guys told me, when the alarm started, he was with a customer.
As soon as the alarm started, he said, "That's the fire alarm, so the drill has started. You are going to have to come outside with me until the drill is over."
Now, I do understand, if I'm in a store buying, and I get told I have to go outside when it's only a drill and not the real thing, it's a bit of an inconvenience, but what if it had been real?
She got rather pissy with him and said, "Oh, yeah, anything to interrupt business and get out of work."
WTF???
