I was going to not post this til after my last shift tommorow, but I can't help it. I'm still both laughing about it and semi annoyed.
Part of my job is take the trash out (Which as Darlin will tell you, I don't always do :P) I had all the trash rounded up from last night, and the boxes from breakfast to take out. I had two bags and the boxes, so I was at the gate, opening it (Screw throwing these bags.)
Cop pulls into the lot, I don't think anything about it and keep doing my job. Now, I've walked out without my hoodie because it usually doesn't take me long enough to be cold to do that trash. (And because I went out the back door, so it wasn't as far.)
I have a newbie cop (Read: New to me) get out of the car and tell me to get out of the dumpster. Keep in mind, I'm in front of it!
"Sir, I'm not in the dumpster, I'm throwing the trash away." I said, throwing the second bag in to face him.
"Do you work here?"
You mean the ID, the CORDLESS damn phone & KEYS don't give this away?! "Yes, I do work here. I'm the only one on duty. Can I help you?"
I'm thinking someone called the cops for some stupid reason, and I was right. A lady had SEEN me from her room, and I was "dumpster diving."
So for 15 minutes, I attempt to explain to the officer than YES, I work here, YES I am the only one on duty. I show my nametag again, I even offer to call the manager and let her identify me. I'm glad I didn't have to, she'd have KILLED him...
I asked a few times to go in and get my hoodie, because I'm cold, but he keeps telling me no. Okay, dude, I'm cold, I work here and I'm about ready to tell you to bite me, I'm going in.
Just as I start to give up and go towards my door, another cop comes in. Awesome.. backup for him. Except, it's MY favorite cop. I love this guy, he's the first cop I met.
"Hey Heather."
"Hi. Your friend thinks I'm dumpster diving.."
"Officer _______ (can't remember his name), You do know this is the desk clerk for here right? She's the only one on duty and you've kept here out here for how long?"
"20 minutes."
Then he see's the look I have, and let's me say what I've been thinking since I got outside and accused of dumpster diving.
"Dude, I'm in DRESS clothes, what makes you think I'm ruining these?!"
I'm still shaky and mad and Friendly Officer let's me go in. I guess he left first, cause the Newer cop asks why I didn't tell him I worked there. It would have saved him trouble.
Remind me why we can't slap stupid people? I told him. 5 times.
