Store Chaos....

I was always a big fan of practical jokes. From tormenting people on the phone to office jokes, I enjoy a good laugh. I was talking to someone yesterday about a stunt I pulled about 12 years ago.......

I had worked for a large discount retail chain (similar to Target) as an operations manager. We all had to wear the khacki pants with the red polo shirt as our uniform. When I quit and moved on I still had about 10 of these store logo shirts. One day, I got a bright idea. I called about 6 of my friends and we dressed in khackis and these red store logo shirts and went to one of the branches of this store where nobody knew me. We went into the aisles and naturally, people were coming up to us and asking us for help. "Could you tell me where the bikes are?" We'd say, "No we can't..... leave us alone, we are on a break, can't I have my breakfast in peace????" Sometimes we'd simply lie to them and send them all over the store or we'd tell people stuff was half price and that it would be taken off at the register...all kinds of crazy information. We even got as crazy as to get on one of the "red phones" and make pages. I naturally knew the code to access the PA system... we would find a phone that was off the beaten path, out of security camera range and say stuff like, "Attention Shoppers, for the next 15 minutes only all items in our housewares department are 30% off!!!" We caused mass chaos in the store that day...and we got out without getting caught.....quite a funny day indeed.......
