Dumbass central, How may I direct your call?

Ok, So today in the wonderful world of UGH. A block or two away a car hit a telephone pole and the pole fell on a power transformer and took it out. Thus no electricity. Not a problem UGH has a backup generator. The problem is even the best backup generator can not work if it has no gas in it or in the gas can next to it. That's a no brainer people. So we had just enough gas in the generator to run two checkstands off and on. Also for the backup lights. No dairy or frozen to be sold for an hour. We had a courtesy clerk at one door and the janitor at the other door looking like bouncers. They had to stand there to keep our valued customers from leaving without paying. Then it was like 100 degrees out and the parking lot was full of carts. Then management insists on the fact that only two courtesy clerks get all the carts. That would have meant two people out in hundred degree weather for at least thirty minutes. Can anyone say heat stroke.

Goodnight all.
