Raining Inside

There was a loud thunder-clap sound and then water started pouring out of the cracks in the ceiling and the light fixtures. This would've made more sense if the roof was actually above the store's ceiling, but it's not. There are condos right above the store.

Managers started freaking out telling everyone to move the clothes away from the water. Customers were trying to take pictures and video inside the store and we had to run around and dance in front of their cameras to prevent them from taking any footage.

Customers in the fitting room were complaining, "Well, can I still buy my stuff?" even after I was telling them that we were evacuating the store. One customer wouldn't stop trying on garments even after almost everyone had left the second floor and were exiting the store.

As I was going down the escalator, a customer cried out, "I left my cell phone in the fitting room!" After searching every room, I told her I couldn't find it and she then told me matter-of-factly, "Oh! It was inside my purse!"

Even during an emergency, customers are more concerned about their materialistic things than a worker's safety.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.
