Just my take on the situation

I realize that the store employee is technically right that they would have eventually found the elderly person they locked in their garden centre at closing. I'm just not sure that's the type of newspaper story any business wants to be featured in. When the best case scenario is to be the butt of jokes from a human interest story you might want to rethink your cavaliar closing procedures on a hot weekend day lest next time it ends up as a preventable death featured on page 1.

At least I was in the right place at the right time to get them to let her out. *shrug*

And in weather news I'm so hot I've stopped sweating and feel like total garbage. Think I'm going to take some time to get rehydrated.
