<human>: Well the title pretty much says it. I (used) to work for Cold Stone Creamery. Today I got a facebook message from a coworker telling me that I needed to call her immediately and that it was important. I think to myself "great... she's going to bust my balls into getting me to take over her shift."
She tells me that she went to open the store this morning and thought that somebody had robbed the place. Tables, chairs, lots of things were missing or taken down. She called the manager and apparently she had also just found out that morning and our manager was surprised she was even able to get into the store. (not having changed the locks already)
NONE of the employees were given any sort of warning as to the store going out of business. I wasn't aware a company could just suddenly close shop and not even tell anybody. Most people there were new hires apart from me and 2 or 3 other people. 

I feel bad for the people who had already bought cakes with us and were pending pick up. Those things are expensive.

And since laws and whatnot vary by location, I'm in Virginia.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Cold Stone Creamery fucked over its employees by closing shop and not telling anyone. Nobody had any idea it was going to happen... (well, except the scumbag owner.)
