Janitorial VR Training Mishap Sparks In-Store "Zombie" Outbreak at Celina 52
CROSSVILLE, TN – September 10, 2025 – A corporate initiative to enhance employee skills through virtual reality took a violent turn at Celina 52 Truck Stop today, resulting in multiple customer incapacitations. The incident began when management equipped their Janitor with a state-of-the-art VR headset to practice the latest mopping techniques during his downtime.
The training program was intended to load a "VR Custodian" simulation. However, due to a critical error, a hyper-realistic zombie survival game was launched instead. Believing the store was under siege by the undead, Janitor's professional instincts took over. He immediately began to ferociously swing his mop at patrons, whom he perceived as ghouls.
Witnesses described a scene of chaos as the Janitor, fully immersed in his virtual battle, systematically "eliminated" several customers with powerful, sweeping blows from his cleaning implement. The rampage continued unabated until staff members were able to approach the distracted custodian and power off his headset.
Management has since secured the VR equipment and the affected areas of the store have been cleared of fallen customers. An official statement from Celina 52 confirmed the incident and noted that the company is currently "considering apologizing" for any inconvenience or physical trauma experienced by their clientele.
