Just last night, a coffee shop in a large shopping centre was violently smashed, the glass in the cafe was completely damaged, the scene was a mess!
However, to the victims` discontent, when the owner of the coffee shop, Mr. Lu, a Chinese immigrant, approached the head of the mall to ask for a claim, the mall said it was "irresponsible" and hoped that "it would calm down", saying: "there is not enough security staff," he said. There`s nothing we can do. "
This made the Chinese victims both scared and worried: "there is no security in the mall, I don`t want to open any more stores."
Reader`s story: my store has been smashed!
This morning, time Jun received a call from the reader, Mr. Lu, who told us that his coffee shop in Adelaide Norlunga Shopping Centre had been hit last night!
Mr. Lu said he received a call from a security guard last night saying that his coffee shop in the mall had been smashed.
Shocked by the news, Mr. Lu rushed to the shop and found that all the kitchen utensils, including the expensive coffee maker, had been smashed to pieces.
Broken kitchen:
The table was covered with wreckage:
The originally neat ground was covered with fragments of glass.
The aggrieved reader told us that he left at about 6.00 pm yesterday, when shopping centre`s stores were closed except for Coles,Woolworth `s two supermarkets, and guests were cleared by 5.30 p.m.
According to the in-store surveillance video, the smashing shop 6.30 or so turned into the partition located outside the store to enter the shop, smashing.
By the time the mall security arrived, the whole cafe had been smashed into a mess. After the security report to the police, the police arrived at the scene 6.50 minutes and took photographs for evidence.
"I am worried and afraid," said the injured reader painfully, seeing that the coffee shop, which was regarded as a treasure, had been smashed into such a way.
Shopping malls: insured, but not responsible
The aggrieved reader said he was shocked by his attitude when he found accountability for the mall, which, while insured, cannot be held responsible.
According to Mr. Lu`s agreement with the mall, similar to the damage caused by the incident, the department did not mention that the department should be responsible for such an accident (but the department said it was willing to help clean up).
Mr. Lu said he himself had insurance and that money losses were not what he was most worried about right now. To Mr. Lu`s anger, why are security conditions so poor for such a large shopping centre,? Why are there so few security guards? Why did the security guard come so late after such a violent incident?
However, when the victim asked the mall such a question, the mall could only say, "We are understaffed and cannot afford to take into account all the stores."
Mall security "low quality", how to let merchants trust to open the shop here?
Mr. Lu said he is under great psychological pressure: "I have been here for eight, nine years, and have a good relationship with customers, but now feel there is no security, do not want to open the shop."
"the mall once said that we can rest assured with security, but that`s what happened."
"We pay high rents every year and abide by the rules of the mall, but the mall now seems to have nothing to do with it."
He also helplessly told us that the current practice of the mall is to "calm things down and turn things into big things": after the incident, perhaps in order to maintain its image, the mall issued a screen to the victims, which was used to block the scene and want to turn things into small ones. Don`t let them be held accountable again.
