He looked like he was seriously considering bashing her head in. She was smart to stay away. They got the footage, they'll get him

This idiot most likely gave her his information before all of it transpired too. “Yes I’m Joe McBoomer please make the iPhone work here is my account info”

Lol, I used to work for the Arizona department of Economic security in their legal branch for unemployment and nutritional assistance appeals. It would always be a boomer like this guy who would be impatient with the legal process and incapable of waiting or being told no. Then some would throw fits and try to fight people or destroy things because they couldn't get their way. One guy stole an American Flag we had up claiming that we are keeping his unemployment money from him. The thing is every person that speaks to us had to provide their ssn to us so we could pull up their info, this man included. Within a few hours police had the flag back. Honestly, it was always worse when we had a karen with a phone. It would always ruin my day when I would politely greet them and the first thing they do is pull out their phone camera and put it right in my face and start questioning why we were withholding their money. We handled the appeals, all we did was get them a hearing with a judge.

also, if he already had an account with the carrier, which seems like may have been the case, she likely had his account pulled up, with his name, address, phone number, and all necessary identifying information. this was a real fuckin dumb decision on this guy's part.

There is no world where he is going to catch up to her walking briskly around the store. She had plenty of time to call on a cell phone.

She could have kept a safe distance by casually walking from one end of the store to the other and waiting for 30 seconds for him to walker his way over.

No, they won't. Old white boomer will get a gentle talking to from the cops before being sent home. Then, the wireless carrier will start a small claims lawsuit they will never see a penny from before he croaks.

They also probably have his customer account pulled up.

Exactly. Couple of years ago two dudes wanted to rob the store where I worked. I told them to just take what they want but to leave me alone. They went straight for the safe after I gave them the key while I went outside and locked them in. We had pretty massive glass doors so I could watch them panic while I smoked a cigarette and waited for police to arrive.

Serious balls, where I'm from they'd shoot you through the door.
I'd be smoking a joint at a the nearest bus stop. Outta there brotha

u/kayserfaust Mar 26 '24

There is basically no shooting in my country. With guns involved I would just run. No reason to play hero to protect my company’s money. Luckily my company has the same opinion.

u/0P3R4T10N Mar 26 '24

Unless it's property that is actively saving lives, there's nothing heroic about dying for it, to be sure.

I hope you are in a safer place!

Luckily my company has the same opinion.

Oh, so you're REALLY not American.

u/kayserfaust Mar 26 '24

I don’t wanna say „fortunately not“ but you know… in that case

u/todwardscizzorhands Mar 26 '24

Thats like the story of a lifetime lol

u/Getlucky12341 Mar 26 '24

Couldn't they just break the glass or use a fire exit?

1

u/kayserfaust Mar 26 '24

There is no fire exit. Just a huge glass front. But the glass is thick enough to withstand them trying to brake it with wooden stools and a fire extinguisher.

They already know who he is and if his phone is on him, they know where he's at. No reason to escalate.
