A lot of interesting things happening tonight at work. Interesting people are always coming in at night. Strange people, strange in many different ways. Still, tonight has been eventful, though I’m only gonna mention 1 instance since I’m on my break and don’t want to waste it all writing.
The incident was 2 kids, young kids, like 10, coming in between 12 & 12:30. Rob, my manager, knew right away they were there to steal. He got ’em. I wasn’t gonna do anything, but I’m not the manager, so oh well. Sucks for them, but it’s a good learning experience. They weren’t bad kids, just wanted to pretend they were. One was scared shitless; he reminded me of me. It’s funny, because he was the one who actually stole. The “friend” of his paid for some stuff while the other kid was supposed to take some ice cream while we were “distracted.”
The other kid who was acting as diversion seemed to be the mastermind. Talking back when he really shouldn’t be digging himself even deeper. He was mature, I could tell by his tone. He just didn’t realize he was a kid talking to an adult who doesn’t have time for their BS…
Long story, short: the cops got called. I’m pretty sure they just gave them a talking to & drove them home. A “scared straight” kinda thing. I’m pretty sure it worked for the one who seemed genuinely frightened. And maybe for Mr. Confident, it’ll remind him to keep his big head down.
