  • Let's try door number two

    First post!

    So I work in a grocery in the deli department. Yesterday, I have my cart on the floor stocking a few things. I’m keeping an eye out for customers when I see a customer approach the door that’s about 20 feet away from me.

    The big double doors.

    With big metal push handles.

    With the ‘EXIT’ sign above it.

    And the big sign reading ‘Emergency Exit. Alarm will sound if opened’


    So, of course she pushes it open.

    When the (very loud) alarm went off, she jumped back in shock and looked around. Spotting me she asks “Where are the bathrooms!?”

    Not that way, lady.

    I have to call the store director to turn the alarm off .

    SD: Why is the alarm going off?
    Me: A customer was looking for the bathroom.
    SD:…… Oh.

    I helped her and her husband later, and she was really nice, but I did get a giggle out of her brain burp.

    In the screwoffity industry we rate sirens into three loudness grades:
    Grade #1: Gentle Hint
    Grade #2: Firm Reminder
    Grade #3: Liquefy

    Your customer encountered a Grade #2. If it had been a Grade #3 she wouldn't have been looking for the bathroom any longer.

      But you would've...to dispose of the evidence.

        In the SC's mind they saw big red letters that must mean I can go here.

          Oh yeah . . . EXIT somehow translates to "ENTER HERE." I guess these signs aren't bleedingly obvious . . .
