I saw an air conditioning van pull up about ten minutes after they cleared out the store, so at that point I knew that it would probably take longer than a few minutes.
I usually go grocery shopping every Sunday afternoon and it’s truly a therapeutic experience for me. I enjoy walking around the store and gathering food for my family and I. This past Sunday when I was at the grocery store, the air conditioning stopped working midway through my trip. I didn’t think it would be a big deal, but apparently not having running air conditioning is a major health code issue and so they had to ask everyone to leave the store while they fixed it. I was a bit agitated and wanted to see how long it would take, so I sat with the air conditioner on in my car for a while to keep me cool. I kept an eye out on the front door of the store to see when they would remove the sign that said their air conditioner was broken. I guess having the air conditioner works to keep some of the foods cool in addition to their refrigerated systems, so this could have been a big issue if it wasn’t resolved right away. I saw an air conditioning van pull up about ten minutes after they cleared out the store, so at that point I knew that it would probably take longer than a few minutes. I decided to leave and come back about two hours later and by that point the issue had been fixed. The time was closer to the evening and it’s a little crazy how different the energy was in the store at this time. I don’t think I enjoy going that late.
