We got a new cleaning guy not too long ago.
This morning, cleaning guy opened up the pharmacy door. After we had armed the store. When cleaning guy is not supposed to be opening entrance doors because that sets off the alarms and the alarm company calls the cops.
Who then fine us for having to respond to a false alarm. Each time they have to come over the fine goes up. This latest fine was $144. Next time (and there will be a next time) it will be $150. But that isn't the big deal here, since store manager just calls up the cleaning contractor and makes them reimburse him the amount of the fine. The big deal is that the cleaning people could be stealing things. Or they could be letting people into the store that aren't supposed to be in the store. People who may have guns or other weapons and be meaning to rob us.
We always tell the cleaning people they are not to open any doors while the store is armed, and they always tell us they understand it. Or at least fake it.
One other grip: These people are supposed to be wearing name badges so we know they're supposed to be in the store. They aren't even doing that. So again somebody could come to the door, claim to be on the cleaning crew, and be let in and rob the store or steal or do God knows what else.
Frankly, if I were SM, I'd be telling corporate I want nothing more to do with this cleaning company of ours.
