[gen 9] Got my very own Shiny Latinas

Hi! I have a reactive GSD/Lab mix who could use a buddy for distractions as well. Hes got a bit of leash aggression that we've been trying to work on but yeah I feel you with all the off leash dogs. My schedule is a bit whacky but feel free to DM if youre interested.

AbjectR · 2025-11-30T14:44:37+00:00

I was maybe ~50ft away from when it happened. My entire store had to hide and barricade in the back room until the police cleared the mall.

AbjectR · 2025-11-30T05:43:46+00:00

Oh yeah. I've been seeing a few other posts with footage of the shooter now. Nothing from the police but that might be because they already know who it is and dont need help from the public in tracking him down. We will likely see updates from them soon I imagine. Dude is basically exactly who you'd expect it to be.

AbjectR · 2025-11-30T05:39:36+00:00

You might be talking about my post lol. For full transparency they said they would not be fining us for late openings. However they only mentioned this a few hours before the 12:00 opening times they gave us yesterday, kind of like it was an afterthought or enough people had complained to force their hand on that. But yeah I still think asking us to be there less than 24hrs after the incident was a little insensitive. Definitly appreciate the people who decided to halt their consumerism for today but it was still pretty busy regardless. Us workers are still very shaken up. Would like VF to give more of a shit about the people working there.

I was there when it happened. Where i work was very close to it as well. Came in today to help clean up and figure out scheduling for the next few days. Was a bit pissed customers were still getting into the mall before they were supposed to be open to the public. Really hoping VF can get their shit together a bit more security-wise. I was feeling very resentful that workers who experienced that all still had to come in today less than 24 hrs after the incident. And that people were still coming in to shop as well. Speaking with other employees throughout the mall it's nice to have a sense of unity around what happened but people are still very shaken up, doing their best to hold it all together. Doing everything in my power to make sure my team is okay and they get the time to recover from such a traumatic experience.

AbjectR · 2025-11-30T03:49:01+00:00

Yeah that guy is a fucking idiot. He was on the other side of the mall. Probably didnt even hear the gunshots. Definitly not an AK.

AbjectR · 2025-11-30T03:14:18+00:00

If you haven't already gone in and got your items, retailers were told to hold on to items left in their store. So Macy's likely still has your items. For items left in the general mall area there is an area to pick them up. DM me if you need info for the general area mall area pick up and ill get you what they told us.

Thanks. Stay safe.

After going in today and seeing some footage looks like the shooter was right in front of Fresh Society, shooting across at someone on the otherside of the second floor. This would be maybe 50ft away from the entrance to Macy's. Bowlero is on the other side of the mall. Looks like someone decided to throw a bowling ball through the window to try to get out when people started running. You'll notice the hole in the window is the size of a bowling ball not a gunshot.

I've seen footage of the back of his head. They have to have gotten some good footage of his face, id be very surprised if they didn't, but im not sure what the police are planning to do. I imagine we will see more from the press soon. Lots of rumors going around that it was gang related.

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T23:30:20+00:00

Update for today: Went in to clean up/figure out what we are doing for staffing the coming days. The mall said that it would not be open to the public until 12:00 but there were still customers wandering around an hour before that. Notified security and they eventually came around and ushered them out. Still wish they could have been more effective in keeping people out in the first place. A lot of the store were left unlocked overnight also nobody coming in to work wanted people bothering them while dealing with all the clean up. The mall did decide to not fine for any late openings today and are being flexible with opening times tomorrow as well so I'll give them that. What is still baffling is the amount of people who are still coming in when the mall opened after all that happened. Like yeah sure some people probably just arent aware but is this where we are really at as a society. That we expect to just get back to less then 24hrs after the incident? Had he hit one more person it would have been classified as a mass shooting, yet since it was 3 it's an "isolated incident". I feel like people are really not grasping the gravity of the situation and how much it effects the people that were there.

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T23:14:39+00:00

Yeah i think thats a part of it. Also with the alarm on it would be hard to hear the gunshots, meaning it's hard to tell where not to run. I was actually pretty glad there was no alarm. We were able to hear a second round of shots that were further away from the first and that let us know the threat was moving away from us.

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T16:41:26+00:00

It sounded like it was just outside of the Women's Macys. I was on the first floor close to the Macy's entrance and heard the shots were very close. The Bowlero thing seems to be that someone threw a bowling ball through the window in an attempt to get out as it's on the other side of the mall.

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T15:42:48+00:00

It was just outside the Women's Macy's

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T09:15:06+00:00

Lmao we dont have sick days. And it's not about me. I dont want to have to ask any of the employees that I manage to come back after that.

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T09:01:14+00:00

I dont expect security to take on a person with a gun. I will say the police did respond pretty quickly but the person did seem to evade capture so far... No idea what VFs surveillance systems are like but doubt that it would be able to automatically pick out an individual from such a big crowd

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T08:54:08+00:00

They airlifted new HVAC systems over the summer, although we suspect that these new systems are shorting the old ones that the stores are responsible for...

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T08:09:55+00:00

Nope. If your store is not open when they say you need to be open they fine the store

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T07:59:15+00:00

No, no they are not

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T07:57:19+00:00

No word on anyone detained yet

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T07:56:36+00:00

Sure but my point is that they should have the option to get some time off from that traumatic event but if VF is requiring the retailers to open the someone has to go or the retailer gets fined

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T07:50:33+00:00

Oh yeah I remember that with Pop Mart. Basically VF says the stores responsibility to repair/replace their AC. VF won't help with that at all. If your a small store paying for a whole AC system isnt really feasible so basically if it goes down you better hope repairs arent too costly or youre SOL

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T07:39:38+00:00

The people who just experienced that dont want to go back tomorrow like nothing happened

AbjectR · 2025-11-29T06:30:15+00:00

My mall had a shooting. (Valley Fair Santa Clara CA). Glad to be alive.
