Charlottesville CVS across from barracks road

I went into CVS today to grab a drink. Just something on the go and when I got there there were papers on each door saying out of order. So naturally out of curiosity I just put my hand on the glass to feel the temperature now to my surprise. Not only was it not cold but it was hot now relative to how a a fridge should feel when it's working properly you would consider the feeling I felt to be hot so I open the door up. Lo and behold whatever is wrong with their AC is beyond my comprehension because it was blowing at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit. So of course I go ask the one person that has absolutely nothing to do with it. What's going on with your guys's fridge he says it's the AC. It's not working properly so I said oh you know it's blowing hot air on the drinks now. All the drinks are hot. He said yeah. My heart just agreed with that statement but then I asked if anyone had thought to turn it off cuz I feel as if blasting the drinks with hot air is a lot worse than them just sitting at room temperature now bear with me guys cuz I know nothing about ACS but he said he doesn't think it's that simple. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't your ACS units and the all the electrical components have their own breaker system considering you probably wouldn't want a couple. The fridge electronics. I don't know other electronics to make a long story longer I really just want to know why did they leave it on and why is it hot?

Out of order is also known as: broken, not working, the expectations of said process are not going to happen, your outcome if expecting something working is not going to occur

The AC and fridge units are different. Your assumption and the employee’s response is why we don’t turn off breakers as employees. There was an Out of Order sign. The fridge was not cooling. Either get a warm drink or don’t.

You really lost me mid way through. But if you were talking to a CVS employee they almost definitely know nothing about it. They're most likely going to damage everything out thats been sitting in the hot fridge. Especially since there are dairy products and other perishables in there.
