So the other day at work, one of the toilets in the ladies just backed up and flooded sewage everywhere. Yummy. It was a Sunday so there were no cleaners in to sort it out, so they decided to just close off the ladies.
I was on the checkout right opposite to the entrance to the toilets all day; so I got to see all the "action" as it were. First of all, an out of order sign was just stuck on the door to the ladies; but of course people don't read signs right in front of their faces. After many complaints from women who didn't bother to read the sign and then went in and saw the mess (one complained she'd got it all over her shoes
) they had to actually tape the door up.
A few people had common sense, but I just had a continous stream of women who came up to me (I was closest) and ranted "What am I supposed to do now? This is ridiculous". Of course I had fun saying "Why don't you use the disabled toilet?" and then got "Oh. Yes..I suppose I could.." and a sheepish expression as they realised how silly they'd been, and wandered (with crossed legs
) off.
In the end the store manager actually went to clean up the mess because of the amount of complaints he was getting and because everyone else refused to do it
That was great fun to watch.
