This was at my old job (a boutique type womens store) about 2 years back....
the day when I came in for my shift the previous night some type of bees infested our fitting room. Some expert was called and apparently they were some type of rare bee that came in a damn storm and couldn't be killed but had to be frozen I think, caught and released outside.
Corporate decided to keep the store open anyway the next day as the person who needed to catch the bees was not going to be able to get there until 2 pm, so they sealed off the fitting room and people weren't allowed in there.
Well they did not want to hear that! I never in my life saw people so angry. Lots of people wanted to brave going in anyway risking getting stung by the bees who were at that point agitated!
The only suitable solution the manager could come up with is to allow the customers to use our bathroom in the back to try on clothing. You would think most people would have passed and just offered to come back later or buy the clothes anyways, but hell no! there was a line about 10 women deep with ARMLOADS of clothing getting super impatient because they wanted to go into the employee BATHROOM with only a FACIAL MIRROR to try on clothes. ugh it was so inconvenient because we could not even use the restroom even though some of the customers stank it up while trying on their clothes and somebody had to be standing back there there entire time to deter theft.
Eventually the guy came and caught 99 percent of the bees and the customers were able to go back into the fitting room. lol I just thought it was hilarious because there is no way in hell I am trying on my clothes in a public restroom.
