Thursday Craziness

So.

Last night at work was another interesting one. I'm not sure what it is about Thursday nights. It's like all the crazies come out after like 9, and they feel like coming into my store and annoying me.

Everyone remember a few weeks ago (on a Thursday night mind you) that we had some pee-ers on the roof? Well guess what? Around 10 or so we had these two drunk kids come in through our back door and disappear up our back staircase (which is for staff only). We got them, and kicked them out. A few hours later they tried again. Again kicked out to the curb. Then as we were closing we could hear these fuckers running around on our roof. They also peed off it again. The difference this time, the police were waiting for them when they came down again.

Supposedly they had stored their beer on our roof. To do so they had broken a pad lock on the building beside ours staircase. The reason they kept coming into our store, was they were too drunk to realize the difference between a book store and a restaurant/bar, and kept thinking they could get to the roof from our store. Morons.

I'm just glad they got caught. They stank up my store and spilled a bag of doritos in the stairwell. And seriously? Peeing off the roof? Are they disgusting or stupid or both?

So yay to the Edmonton Police Force for a quick response.

It's so funny that people like that come to book stores... is you store in a busy bar area or something?
ps Your new books sound very pretty indeed!

Yeah, the store is on a street filled with many many bars. Several per block actually. Hence the craziness. Us being open to midnight really doesn't help either.
