Macy's is closed

an FYI: Panic comes from Pan ... the god who caused terror
I had hundreds of things to do and stopping at Macy's to get a gift card was NOT one of them.
I had 20 minutes before I had to be at a meeting, so I seized the moment.
I turned into the parking lot, got out of my car and walked toward the door.
A woman walking down the path said: "They're closed."
I wasn't sure what she said...
Another woman passed me and said: "Don't bother, they're closed!"
What? Macy's is closed?
A third person walked away...
What? Macy's is closed?
So, I went up to the door, and pulled at it.
I read the sign that said:
Macy's is closed January 10th for Inventory
I pulled on the door again
What was I thinking?
If I pulled hard enough, were the doors going to magically open?
Was someone just waiting for ME to pull the door?
Why didn't I listen to those other people?
I HAD to pull on the doors...

There is no moral here, and I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that so many people have to pull on the doors even when we know they won't open...
I didn't get the gift card, and I survived

When i told my niece my story she said I had lots of good stories; this is NOT the best one.
but it is the first one posted.
