The bad part about working in a convenience store is that any nut bar can walk in off the street at any time of day. We have one particular SC that fits this category who comes in from time to time. (Thank goodness he's not a regular - I don't think I could put up with him that often.) Let's call him OSC (Old SC).
OSC came in on Saturday and immediately asked me about one of my (female) CWs. She wasn't working that day, but had come in to visit and buy food and was leaving that very moment. I haltingly told him that she wasn't working that day, but that she was currently leaving the store (since at that point I didn't think he seemed like a creepy stalker, just an old guy). Luckily, OSC didn't recognize my CW outside of her uniform, so she left the store without him bothering her.
OSC continued to ask me questions about my CW, such as when she works next (like hell I'm giving him her schedule!), and even going so far as to ask me for her number (NOT HAPPENING). He kept saying that my CW had ordered something for him, and he wanted to see if it had come in yet. Thinking this sounded like a relatively rational thing he could have done, I told him he could write her a note. He did so, making sure to write his cell-phone number on it. When I took the note to the office, my manager balled it up and threw it in the garbage, saying she wasn't giving any of my CWs a note from that weirdo.
I later messaged my CW and told her about what happened, and she said she had no idea who OSC was, and hadn't ordered anything for him.
I made sure to tell another night manager about this situation, since now I KNOW OSC is mentally unstable.
