Oh man... U shoulda been there tonight. I was freaked out mega time! Heres the story.....
I was at work, Target, and I was training this guy on the checkout. We were serving 3 gurs and 1 chick (may i ad that the guys looked like street kids..) when my phone rang on my register. I picked it up and a voice said on the other line,
"Alyce, you see those people your serving. The 3 guys infront of you? Well they have stolen some stuff out of manchester. Stop them and check their pockets." I was was dazed when I heard this, but said ok nevertheless. Then I put the phone down, took a deep breathe, turned around and said "Ok, could u please empty your pockets guys." U may think that i was unfazed about all this, but inside I was FREAKING OUT! The guys looked at me and said "What?" So I repeated myself to them... then in came the swearing! "No way, I'm not *%$! emptying my pockets. You have no proof that I stole stuff. You can't *^&#$@# make me!" They started walking away from my register, so I followed them and blocked them from going past me. I then called firmly to my supervisor, Sandy, and called her again in an even angrier voice. She came up and asked what the problem was, I told her and the guys were like "We never stole nuthin and shes askin us to turn out our pockets! She can't make us. We shouldn't have to!"
My supervisor, very smartly answered then - "If you didn't steel anything, then u wouldn't mind us lookin in your pockets then, would u?" But they still refused... so Sandy told me to call a manager, and I did so muttering to myself that I'll b ok... The whole time b4 I was freaking out inside... Cos I didn't know whether they'd pull a knife out on me or not! But the manager came out and talked to them, but they still refused to turn out their pockets... So 2 police men came and 5 security and they all excorted them out together!! Hahaha... got em! But man... It was one of da scariest moments aye... I can't believe I did it but, cos they could over power me easily... But I'm okies now, I got a lot of support from my other friends on the regisers... They were all like "Are you ok? You sure your allright??" They were so nice to me... But i never want to experience that again! No way, no how!!! It wasn't in the job description!!!
