We'd just had a price change so I changed the price board, and my boss was using a fire hose to hose down some suspicious looking muck in the parking area. I was halfway back to the store when I heard this weird repetitive thumping sound. My boss dropped the fire hose and dashed over to the automatic car wash and hit the emergency stop.
An electrician had taken his van through the automatic wash. You've probably seen electricians' vans before. They have roof racks loaded up with ladders and so on and a big white pipe that holds conduit or other assorted long, thin items.
The big pipe thing and the ladders had come loose, and the thumping sound was them putting dents in the roof of the van. Parts of the roof rack were broken and all the equipment was moved from the original positions.
This is why automatic car washes have signs saying "no roof racks"
(My boss and I realised what was going on at the same time, he was a bit closer than I was. I picked up the fire hose and finished the job he'd started.)
