We had an exciting day yesterday!We had the police at our store four differnt times! It was unusually bust because it was the third of the month and the Stimulus payments have started going out. the first was a 12 year old little boy! I saw him stick something in his pants. The manager called the police. He asked me where the bathroom was and I told the manager to watch him when he gets out, I went in after he got out and looked in the trash. He had stuck a can of paint wrapped in paper towels. The police came and we found that the boy was on probation! In order to keep from getting sent off, he is to come back next Sat. and do community service hours to the store. He is to do 8 hours. The second was 2 women that got noticed because one of them failed to extinguish her ciggie and it was still smoking when they came in. The other came in with no sunglasses and had a pair up on her head 10 minutes later. They asked to try on a shirt in the bathroom. The took three in, and forgot to remove 2 of them. They left before we found the tags, but Officer Chad found them! He took their licenses and followed them back to the store.(visit #3) They paid for their shirts and banned them from EVERY store in the town. That means the Dollar stores, The gas stations EVERY store. While themanager and other assistant where talking outside, A truck pulled in. They had been sitting at the restaurant next to us. The passenger came in the driver sat a minute and a car pulled in on the other side of the managers and Officer Chad's friend. The driver of the car got out walked over to the driver, then went to the back of his car and got some $$. He went back over to the truck and came right back to the car and left. The truck pulled out right behind him, just in time for the manager to give the dispatcher the tag numbers and description of the drivers. She knew a drug deal when she saw one. The officer came back (#4)but did not catch the car or the truck. The passenger was in the store and heard the manager tell me she was calling the police again, so I am sure they high tailed it. All in all it was a very exciting day for our small little store out in the sticks. So to make it more discussion friendly: What was a VERY exciting day for you at work??!!
