The Escalator

Date: Feb 28, 2005

I was recently at the Macy*s in New York, the world’s biggest store. Yes, it’s friggin’ huge, how many department stores have a Starbucks casually mixed amongst the aisles?

So when walking by the up escalator, I noticed it just stopped and there were two people on the middle who were surprised by it. They started shouting out, “Hey! It’s stopped! Can we get some help here?” I really wanted to shout back, “try walking up.” They were still standing there and shouting for help as I walked away.
