So tonight it was me and a couple of other folks, plus LP stuck behind to do some paperwork.
LP is doing his rounds when he sees a number of shopping bags behind one of our disused Cashier terminals. He tells me about them and after some talk with the staff and a quick inspection to see what they were (For all we know, it could've been a bomb), we determine someone is trying to partake of our space. We pile the bags into a manageable pile so that it takes the person sometime to retrieve them/rummage thru them, and we both keep an eye out for the person to come back so we can give the person a stern talking too.
Nobody comes to claim the bags or walk off with them come closing time. Lock the doors, and i'm up at front with the others trying to cash out and LP is doing one final sweep of the store when we all hear a knock at the front door.
Lady: Excuse me, I need to get my stuff!!
LP approaches the door and yells out that we're closed, come back tomorrow. Oh no, Lady nonchalantly admits she has left her shopping bags and wants to retrieve them.
LP and I look at her with a stern angry look. I order the others to keep on cashing out while I walk to the door and confront the woman with LP.
Me: Excuse me, but I do not appreciate you using company property to store your stuff without authorization. I could've disposed of them without warning!!
Lady: But I need my shopping!!
LP: Do you understand what we're trying to say to you? Your storing items on private property without permission. Mall Security will have to be called for this incident.
Lady: (says something more about her shopping)
Me: Are you even listening what we're trying to say?
So after a few minutes of trying to get Dingbat woman to actually comprehend what she's done, LP and I make the woman go to the back entrance and get her bags under our supervision. She just collects her bags without showing any remorse, guilt, or even an apology and scuttles off into the night.
