On skate shoes and possible shenanigans
Another

tijay makes a lengthy post about a kid coming into the store wearing heelies. Kid, while skating, apparently trips over the steps on a nearby escalator and bangs his head.

Result? 911, kid half-dead, in coma (prolly and hopefully died on the way to the hospital, he bleed all over the escalator making 4 people clean up after him. Bitch. His mom is crying and yelling at everyone, escalator gets stopped. People complaint about elevators that are slow and that we need to fix our escalators.

Then we have team meeting, and at least three people confess that they told him and his mom to stop skating. Making our liability 0. At least now, we have banned these goddamn shoes.

That incident just made my day. I will remember it on the bright side for the rest of my life.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand they're off. 324 comments and counting.

I'd been wondering for ages where all the kids in the mall (where I work) were finding them. Then three weeks ago, our store switched spaces to allow for renovations, and we're now located in a spot with the Heelys kiosk right in front of our door. Ohmans it annoys me. Especially because we're at the corner of two corridors, so we have two big open doors, right? And all the kids like to glide through, as though it's a game.

I just thank god that when we switched spaces, we downgraded in size, so we got rid of most of our mannequins and tables - otherwise, I can just see one of those kids running smack into a mannequin and both of them toppling over (this happened more than once in our old location, actually - and the layout of that one had a long section of wood flooring like a skating rink OUCH)

	One of my coworker's also works at Dick's sporting goods and he said that they sell them there. (Reply to this)(Parent)
