  • Long story Fire Alarm fun

    Hey Every one.
    Today was supposed to be my day off. I went in to cover for store manager who had a migraine. We had property maintenance working on the heating units in the store. The same maintenance guy who worked on them last week right before they caught fire and melted wires and stuff. So me and the 4th key holder are working on are list of chores when fire alarm starts going off for no reason. So as we try and get it shut off we see the maintenance guy standing on a ladder messing with stuff in the ceiling completely ignoring that he set the alarm off. He climbs down and wants to know where the fire panel is and neither of us knows so we called the SM.

    He says there isnt one and that to call the property management to get them to shut it off. The alarm stops going off as soon as I go into office and shut door. As I am standing in the office I hear pounding and people talking but didnt think really any thing about it b/c I was listening to the SM complain. Then instead of asking for me to open back door or finding the other key holder he just pushes open the alarmed back door. I at least got to see some yummy firemen.

    After this he quickly gets his ladder and almost runs out the door in his hurry to leave. So about 10 minutes later I finish ringing people up and coworker calls me over to the other side of store and it's filled with smoke and a nasty cherry smell that was sprayed in to the heater to get rid of bad smell from the fire. Call the SM again and he says not to worry just shut the thermostat off in that area and that the smell was normal. Well as this is going on people are complaining about smell and letting us know about the smoke. My coworker starts asking people to leave the store since we werent sure if it was safe for them.

    People want to keep shopping but complain of smell. Me and coworker developed bad headaches and she has asthma and was coughing from the irritation. Since I am ASM I am waiting for security to call and let me know stores on fire and I have to go back to store. Oh yes and tomorrow morning I am in charge of opening store. So I will get my @$$ chewed out probably by SM who will be there at same time for
    1. the chores not being done
    2. The store not being clean and 3. For us not putting away returns. Now if you excuse me I am going to make a strong drink
