I Can't Make This Stuff Up

A very busy crazy Saturday afternoon at Lane Bryant. The day begins with the store being a mess from the previous evening. My co-worker and I spend the first two hours of our day cleaning up the place. Then the adventure really begins. A customer comes in with her 2 teenage daughters, while the mother is looking around, the 2 girls take it upon themselves to walk around the store and "fix" our mannequins. By "fix" I mean, pop their collars and undo buttons to make our mannequins more "sexy". Do they not realize that these are MANNEQUINS?!?! Then our credit card system goes down, not once, not twice, but THREE times, meaning we cannot process any sales that involve cards. At 2 o'clock one of the girls doesn't show up for her shift, so I have to call someone else in. And then it happens again with a different girl at 6 o'clock! Two no calls/no shows in one day, crazy! Then just as I am about to leave, I see a father standing outside the store with a stoller, his child comes in and knocks down one of our big posters that are in the window, the dad sees what happens and tells his kid to RUN. And they start running down the the walkway in the mall!!! And to top it all off, my car and a few other cars in the parking lot got egged that day. I can't believe people still egg cars?!?!
