I didn't know quite where to put this. I hope this is the right forum.
A few months back I was at work at the wine shop. We are located in a grocery store directly across from their public washrooms. (We get SO many questions about where the washrooms are, even though you'd have to be standing directly in front of a 4 by 6 foot sign that says WASHROOMS to even ask).
So one day this guy comes into the store and I ask him if he needs help, etc, and he says no, he's loss prevention and is actually following a woman who he thinks is planning on shoplifting. She's taking a bunch of stuff into the washroom, and he figures she's going to tuck them away in her bag in there. He wants to pretend he's my customer until she goes to leave, so she doesn't get suspicious. I look across the aisle and I can see this woman waiting in line for the bathroom (they're single occupancy).
So LP guy and I get talking, and he starts leaning on the counter, telling me all about the "dangers" of his job etc, and he has completely turned his back on the washrooms. Five minutes later, I see this woman leave the washroom (sure enough, the merchandise has disappeared and her bag is bulging). I don't say anything for a minute, but she's nearly out the door at this point, and I don't think this guy has a clue...he's STILL leaning on the counter flapping his gums at me. So I say, "Um...I think she's leaving". he says "What? Oh! Right! Shit!" and takes off. He manages to catch up with her and a few minutes later I see him bringing her back into the store heading towards the management office.
How does this guy still have a job in a field that requires attentiveness? I mean, hey, I'm not THAT pretty.
