Another half day of school for the public school children, so of course we got descended upon by gangs of wayward schoolchildren doing the usual things like shoplifting, roaming around in groups intimidating other customers, strutting around with their cups from Dairy Queen or any of the other nearby fast-food restaurants, and treating the furniture department as their rumpus room, sitting on all the displays and putting their feet up on everything.
Or having pillow fights in the domestics department--that was a new one on me.
Another new one they pulled today--we had a crowd of about 10-15 kids in front of the condoms and birth control items. They thought it would be funny to read off the names of the condoms and the instructions for their use in loud voices so everybody could hear. One kid seemed unable to vocalize any words other than "vuh-gin-a" and "douche". Judging from their laughter, this was The Joke That Was So Funny, It Caused Everybody To Die Laughing.
We've spoken to corporate in the past about banning these kids from the store during school hours, and evidently the answer is no. All we can do is make sure LP is working on these half days and have people paying more attention to what the kids are doing around them.
