Attack on Hollywood Tan!



Today at work, Lindsay and I spotted the most gigantic, grotesque spider we've ever seen in our entire lives! One minute, we're just going about our business- waiting on customers, selling lotion, sanitizing the beds...the usual. We were both standing at the counter creating a daily cleaning list for everyone when she says, "I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." So she turns to the left to head down the hallway to the bathroom. All of a sudden, she screams, saying, "Oh my God, oh my God!!!" She was totally freaking out, so I turned to her and said, "what? what happened?" She's only six months pregnant, but from the way she was acting- in total shock and fear- I thought maybe her water broke or something. She told me to look on the ground by the wall, which I did, and then I saw the gargantuan beast. So then I began freaking out. We were like, "it has flourescent legs and shit!" We thought it was some weird, poisonous breed of killer spiders. We didn't know what to do! Neither one of us was going to go within 10 feet of the thing, so we thought one of us should go next door and ask one of the guys working at Papa John's if they would come kill this humongous spider for us. While she's gone, I stood back, not taking my eyes of this thing, for fear that it would scurry away and hide somewhere. So the guy comes in, takes one look at it, and says, "oh, that's not real," then goes and picks it up off the floor. It was a fake spider. We felt kind of retarded, but it looked so real! And it just appeared seemingly from nowhere, so the thought of it being fake never even crossed our minds! The only customer that had the opportunity to plant this thing there was a really nice, sweet, middle-aged woman who I seriously doubt would be immature enough to plant a fake spider in a tanning salon merely for the purpose of freaking out the employees. We still don't know how the hell it got there, but after the fact, it was pretty damn funny.
