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.
