Leaving a Trail of Bread Crumbs

Around 7 PM an old woman walked into the store. She appeared to be like any other old woman shopping until she asked to use the restroom. I politely informed her that we didn't have one and redirected her to one nearby. She proceeded to the lingerie section and shortly after, I noticed a brown trail behind her that ran up her pant leg. I immediately told my manager and she called the Regional Manager for protocol on such a situation.

Instead of calling Waste Management, closing the store early and politely kicking the old woman out the store to get some Depends, we had to stay open for another hour and half, and then attempt to clean up the mess ourselves until someone showed up with a carpet shampooer.

Needless to say, the store smelled terrible for the next two weeks.

This is why I Work 2 Rant.
