I was just about to get off work when the power went off at Wally World. The place was nearly dark so we were trying to find the flashlight button on our devices, only to find out the devices have no button. People who used their own phone had no such problem. It turns out that the flashlight screen only shows up when you are scanning an item, which was what I was doing when the power went off.
The day crew was trying to preserve the meat and getting customers up to the checkout counters before the cash registers shut down. There is 30 minutes of backup power before the registers shut down.
When I left, the store manager was just walking in, talking on her phone, trying to figure the extent of the outage. When I left, I noticed the lights to the north were on. Most of Main Street had lights out from the tracks east to the middle of downtown. But two blocks north and south the lights were on. I guess I will find out tonight how long the power was out for.
