Dude , I worked in a mall for many years after dropping out of college bc I had the coolest job in town managing a tobacco shop where the owners drank beer with us daily . I saw all kindsa funny or weird shit there . Some other kid walked right into the fountain that was in front of my store , and then a grown woman did the same thing like a year later fountain was removed when they remodeled . People would punch holes in the back hallways , deals were constantly bartered cigs at cost from me in exchange for shoes at cost from you , stripper fight in front of my store , people yelling at me for selling evil tobacco , etc etc . Hell I could probably write a book about that job and the kid holding on to the escalator wouldn ' t even make the cut . The truth is stranger than fiction sometimes .
