One woman’s shopping experience in Malaga was very different when she realized she had been locked inside the shop after it closed. A woman was trying on swimsuits at a clothing store in central Malaga, Thursday evening. The manager left the shop and apparently did not know that the customer was still there.

The woman realized that something was wrong shortly after 9:00pm. The shop was pitch black, shutters were closed and no one was around. What began as an ordinary Shopping trip She found herself trapped inside a shop that was locked with no escape route.

She was still inside the store when it closed

According to the store manager the woman had entered at around 8.30pm. The worker was chatting with a friend at the time of closing. She pulled down the shutters, thinking that everyone had left. The woman was still in the shop.

She called for assistance when the shop was locked and empty. He went on the premises to contact the police who responded to the strange situation. It was soon less about the shopping trip, and more about how to safely get the customer back outside.

The police track down the owner of the shop

They went to the home of the shop owner to tell her what happened. The officers asked the owner to go back to the store and unlock it so the trapped woman could leave. By the time the woman was finally freed, she had been trapped for about 45 minutes.

Unexpectedly being locked in a dark store after closing was not part of her evening plans. The customer eventually left the establishment. It was a memorable ending to what began as a quest to find a swimming suit.

While the women’s main concern was getting out of the changing room, the shop manager probably found the experience more rewarding when closing the store. If you’ve ever thought having a whole clothes store to yourself after hours would make the perfect experience, then this is for you. Shopping Experience, a Malaga client may have an entirely different opinion.
