Just An Ordinary Day.......
or so it started out so. I went to work just like always and when I arrived, my manager arrived at the same time. We went to open the gate to go into the store (work at the mall) and this obnoxious odor started to come out. We looked at eachother and didn't know quite what to say. We weren't quite sure what it was, just that it was horrible, smelled like the sewer backed up and it was throughout the store. So we went to make the bank deposit stopping off at Eckards to pick up some air freshner and we went back to the store and sprayed the heck out of the place. It smelled better for about 10 mins, then it was worse. We tried to open for business as it's projected to be a busy day but after about an hour and half we couldn't take it anymore and both of us weren't feeling all that well. We decided we had to close at least temporarily after Mall Maintenance came by and said we needed to get our plumber in to look at the problem. So we sat outside the store waiting and calling the District Manager who couldn't understand why we wanted to close The plumber couldn't figure out why but apparently sewer gases were coming through the vent and he felt it might have to do with the space next door which is under construction. It was decided that we would stay closed at least for a few hours more so I came home. I just hope all the clothes don't pick up that odor as it's really nauseating.
