'I don't think you understand': Customer breaks into unopened store to shop for camping supplies

A customer was a bit too eager to shop at a new store in town.

At some restaurants that are brand new, a "soft launch" will take place for the first few weeks they're open. During the soft launch, servers are being trained, the kitchen staff is learning how to make the food properly, and therefore the service might be a little slower than normal. That's all well and good for the restaurant industry, but there are no soft launches in retail. That didn't stop this woman from trying to break into a brand-new hardware store in town that hadn't yet opened its doors.

The retail worker who shared the story, u/xCtrldChaosx, writes that they initially thought the customer was a fellow worker! Since they were just setting up the store for the grand opening, the retail worker assumed anyone in the store was an employee. It seems like a confusing time for everyone involved. The customer also claimed she'd been walking around the shuttered store for about 90 minutes… what a waste of time for her! She must've had to redo all her shopping at a different store (one that was actually open for business).
