Panic Erupts At 5th Ave Apple Store After Bedbug Sighting
The iconic Apple store on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue has long been one of the most heavily trafficked in the world. But a group of disgruntled. employees recently complained to the New York Post that the store's management exposed staff and customers to bed bug infestation without warning.
The bed bug sightings, which began about a month ago, culminated in a furor on Friday when a bed bug was spotted inside a manager's office. Employees described a "mass exodus" of employees who fled the store. Frustrated employees said management had been giving. them "the runaround" about the bed bug risk until they finally caved on Friday and brought in a bed bug sniffing dog, which confirmed that bed bugs had been present in a staff locker room.
That was the first time management acknowledged that the threat was real. But that didn't stop the store from dragging its feet on the issue.
"It was just mayhem," an employee told The Post. (MAYHEM!!!!)
"There was a mass exodus… employees were freaking out they felt really unsafe and management kept giving them the runaround."
Staff were asked to double-bag their belongings while a "bed bug beagle" came to search the store. However, the issue had started three to four weeks earlier during the overnight shift, which draws many homeless visitors looking for shelter. After a bed bug was discovered on a table, management roped the area off without explanation, but didn't alert customers or staff to the threat.
The improper handling of the situation exposed both customers and staff to the bed bugs.
The table was left cordoned off while employees and customers were allowed in the store and around the table with no warning of the bed bug threat, an employee said.
Employees complained that the issue, and the store's reluctance in handling it, made them feel "unsafe at work" and like they didn't matter to the company.
"I shouldn’t have to go to work feeling unsafe and unprotected," one worker told The Post.
"We felt very anxious, used and unimportant, like we were just another number."
Even after the store brought in an exterminator, the bed bug sightings continued. One employee picked a bug off their sweater and took a video of it, which was circulated among hundreds of staff.
When management brought an exterminator in for another go, they again failed to inform their employees. Instead, the store mysteriously closed for six hours in the middle of the night. They said the closure was due to a 'water leak'

Stock market at ‘risk of a melt-up, not a meltdown’, warns BlackRock’s Larry Fink
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. economy is speeding up again after a slowdown in recent months and cash could soon start rushing into stocks as most investors are underinvested in the markets globally, BlackRock Inc's Chief Executive Larry Fink said on Tuesday.
"What we are seeing worldwide are clients just struggling in putting their money to work," Fink told Reuters in an interview after his company reported first-quarter earnings.
"We still saw, as an industry and at BlackRock, outflows in equities and this is one of the reasons why I believe the market is getting set up for huge inflows into equities," he said.
