So yesterday I had to hit the mall, for a couple of items. I got there right when they opened, actually a few minutes before, and was standing outside, waiting for the dept. store to open their doors. In the meantime, one of the cleaning staff was inside, between the inner and outer doors, cleaning them. By this time, there are maybe 10-12 people waiting, including a woman holding two boxes, and another couple with their DOG. A small, yappy looking thing.
I hear someone grumble “It’s 10:01, where ARE they?” and at the same time, the cleaning person unlocks the door, and comes out to clean the outside of the doors. Well, everyone starts to rush in, and she says no, not open, you can’t come in yet. Cue grumbling and moaning. Cleaner says only security can let people in, so woman with the boxes then says “can’t you go GET them????” Like waiting an extra minute or two would kill her. I felt badly for the cleaner since I’m betting if she DID let someone in, it would mean her job.
So what you had to wait a minute or two? It could be that while YOUR watch says 10:02, the store’s clock says 10. So STFU and be patient. And even if they, god forbid, didn’t open until 10:02, well, they’re only human.
