A bust-up in the Staples parking lot
Tuesday, August 15th, 2006AT and I made a run to Staples the other night. He opted to wait in the car. A few seconds after I walked into the store, he saw a woman in a bright blue truck back into a parking spot. She did an A+ job, except she backed into the maroon sports car behind her. Her kid got out of the truck, ran around to the back and began freaking out. The mom saw what she did, yelled at the kid to come on, and entered the store.
When I came out, AT told me what had happened, described the woman and pointed out the truck in question. The rear bumper was sitting completely on top of the front bumper of the sports car. So I, being the tattle-tale that I am, went into the store to tell the manager. The woman AT described was at the register, checking out. I went to the next register over, where the manager was, and told her loudly what had happened. The manager was less than thrilled about having to do something about it and told me to call mall security. I told her that the driver was currently in Staples and would be gone by the time mall security got there, so I’d just get the make and model of both cars for her.
As I started out of the store, the driver looks at me all innocent-like and says, “Did you say a blue truck?” I assented and she said, “Oh, my, that must be me.”
So I told her she did a crap job of parking and needed to find the person she backed into. As there were about 8 witnesses to this conversation, I hope she didn’t just jump in her truck and leave.
Another case of people thinking they can get away with shit.
