Mall stones

Working the malls is always interesting.
You get ta meet and greet. You see and hear things few ever get to know about.
So here I share an event I have come across.

While locking down the mall I received a call about lurid activities in one of the parenting rooms.
Parenting rooms being a place where mums and dads can see to children's needs in a comfortable and private area.

I entered the room and pulled back the curtain.
There laying on her back was a young woman with her legs up resting against her partners shoulders. her partner standing there rocking too and fro with gay abandon. His pants around his ankles.
"Excuse me. This is not the place for this kind of thing."
The thrusting continued.
"HEY! STOP when I am talking to you!"
The young man reluctantly stopped and withdrew his equipment from said young woman who by now had an extremely red complexion.
The male stood there without attempting to dress himself.
"Get dressed and come with me." I demanded.
By now another guard had attended the scene and from his reaction it would appear that it was the first time he had come across such an event.
Their excuse for partaking in such activities ..... "Well you know BOSS when ya get the urge ya gotta do it, besides it is a public place and it was a parenting room!"

Seems ta me that education of mall etiquette is required.
Most malls are privately owned by big business organisations and therefore have certian rules that need to be adhered to.
So, a condition of entry to a mall is that you follow said rules and obey directives given by Centre Management personel or personel appointed by Centre Management.

Rules are rules and some may seem a bit over the top but they must be followed and it is the likes of me that must enforce these rules in a polite, firm and fair manner.

Over here the youth like to wear their hoodies in the mall.
No hoodies in the mall!
Is it raining in the mall? No!
If you want to question the rule or complain about it you can do so in writing.
Will they? No!
All they want to do is whinge and moan about being treated unfairly.
Yet take no action other than to yell and scream then trash talk.
Sorry no abusive behaviour in the mall. It has a roll on effect!

Preachers in the mall is always a good one to cop!
In a privately owned mall you require permission from Centre Management to conduct any activities in the mall.
So you ask them to stop.
Understand something here, they ususally sit in coffe shops or eateries and there is two or three talking to a single person. Normally a female.
They will argue that they are only talking.
I emind them that they need permission to advertise their product in the mall. Of course they will say this is a public place and they only need permission from God! Or they will tell you they are doing an assignment.
WELL do you have permision from Centre Management to do said assignment?
NO! Then go get it and I will leave you alone.
For so called christian people they are devious and down right underhanded.
The best bit is that they will try to move outside the mall into the carparks but they too are owned by the mall so you still can not do it........GET PERMISSION! what is so hard about that?

Obviously they know they would never get it!
Sadly it is the public that suffer as they are to polite to tell these worshippers of evil to just plainly FUCK OFF!
Many times the public tell me how grateful they are that I get rid of them.
Sigh! A never ending saga!

Whitesnakes do it better when theres more to work than meets the eye

A parenting room for making babies? Now I've heard it all.

I had a chuckle when I read the part about you enforcing rules in a polite way. That's because you are polite and softly spoken, hehe. NOT!

Being a fellow mall-worker I found this really amusing. That was a hell of a lot of words for you Steve!
