So, earlier this week on Monday about 2 o'clock, we had a power surge at the restaurant I work at and one of the outlets in our storeroom got fried to some degree because of it. We called our usual fellas and they got it squared away no problem. I left work at 4 and about 5:30 that evening I got a call from my boss and manager that there was a fire. I thought it was just a small grease fire and they were just keeping me in the loop.
Nope!
Apparently, that power surge did something to our exterior electrical panel because it went up like the 4th of July!
Needless to say, we had no power after that. My boss's husband had to drive two hours to pick up a refrigeration truck, one of my co-workers brought a generator from home to power the freezer and we had just received a fresh delivery that morning so there was a lot of crap to move into the truck. There were a few more complications but that was the main gist of it. We got power restored this evening, but we still need to get some things taken care of, so opening is still in the air.
Oh, and no one was hurt at all and the boss assured us that everyone will get paid for their scheduled hours thanks to insurance. I may get annoyed with the boss now and then but she's a good person!
On the plus side, it gave us a whole day for deep cleaning the store! We tore that place apart!
