This is actually a retelling of a story that happened to me a couple winters back here at CLC when there was about a foot of snow and ice covering pretty much all of South Jersey. I woke early enough to get myself to work on time knowing it was going to be a very slow drive. I even called our area supervisor that morning just to see if he even wanted us to open the store, considering the road conditions. Thankfully, I managed to eventually make it to the store with a few minutes to spare. BUT, that was when the excitement began. As soon as I put the key in the door, and started to pull the door open, I realized I had a problem. Because of the build up of ice and frozen snow in front of the door, I was only able to open the door about 6 inches, however, the alarm goes off once the door is opened even an inch. So now the alarm is going off, and I can't get through the door to reset the alarm that is only about 4 feet inside the entry. Panicking, I tried to squeeze through the narrow opening to get to the alarm to shut it off. BIG MISTAKE...I got stuck half-way through the opening, and couldn't even budge the door. So now I am stuck half in the store and half outside the store with the burglar alarm blaring across the parking lot. That was embarrasing enough, but THEN the police show up to arrest the idiot who got stuck in the doorway of a Christian bookstore while trying to make off with a load of Bible Bars! It took about five minutes and some creative explaing to get out of that one. Oh the memories.... ;-P
