I went into a nice, upscale store to see what they had in the way of sweets (I have a massive sweet tooth). Guy was in there, talking to the employee at the counter. Since I was looking around, I wasn't paying much attention to their conversation, until it started getting weird.
Guy bought something. I don't know what. Something cheap. Then he went to the door, turned around, and said to the employee, "You know what? I don't like you. I hope you get fired soon, because I don't like you."
Employee, with a smile on his face, said, "Peace out. Get the hell out of here." (I can understand his feelings, but I don't think that was the right way to respond to this nutcase.)
Guy continues bitching, then leaves. With a small child in tow.
I bought something, commiserated with the employee, and left.
Guy was waiting about half a block down the street. As soon as I neared him, he began walking next to me, saying, "That guy's not gonna last long. Either he'll get fired, or I'll beat him so hard he won't be able to stand. I don't spend hundreds of dollars in that place every month just so..."
This is when I turned away and began walking in another direction. When I saw he wasn't following me, I went back to the store and gave the employee the heads-up on what Mr. I-spend-hundreds-of-dollars-here-a-month had been saying.
The employee laughed it off, saying, "Let him. I've been studying martial arts for years."
Be that as it may, this was a delusional man threatening violence against someone he'd only just met - and this delusional man is in charge of a child. If this is what he'd say to a stranger, what happens to that kid behind closed doors?
If I see him again, I'm going to sneak a picture of him and take it to the police.
