Oh no...my keys!

            This weekend something happened that was, no so out of the ordinary, but the woman that it happened to was definitely out of the ordinary.

            I was working customer service, like usual, and a woman came up to the desk and told me that she had locked her keys in the car. This scenario has happened in the store a few times, so I was not alarmed or anything. I asked her if she had AAA or anything like that, that could help her unlock the car. She said she had AAA but her card was locked inside the car with her purse. Also, the car was running. I could not imagine how this woman had managed to do that, but I told her that we can find out the number.          

            I finally got ahold of the number and dialed it for her. She was on the phone for about 15 minutes and when she finally hung up she told me how it would be about an hour and a half until they would get here. She asked if there was any way that someone from the store could drive her to her house right around the corner since she had an extra key. I called the manager and he said it was okay so I asked one of the employees in the bakery if she would mind. She said it was no problem, but the woman would have to wait a few minutes.

            The next thing I knew the woman was telling me how she did not want a ride now and to tell the bakery girl never mind. I asked her why, and she explained that she had locked her house keys in the car too and that her house was locked. So she decided to just wait for AAA.

            I am back a customer service and about 10 minutes later the girl from bakery came over and said she was going to bring the woman to her house to see if she may have left her house open. I was confused at why she would even do that now since AAA should be almost at the store, but I let it go.

            Eventually the woman got home after AAA came and unlocked her door. I just could not believe how extravagant the woman’s problem was. She locked herself out with her purse and keys in the car, while it was running. I had a little giggle out of it, but I was glad she got home.
