Creepy Much?

Maybe it's me but it sounds like he may have been the building owner... but that the shop he was trying to access rents the space from him.

Which means the store has legal rights and does not have to grant him access after hours just because he wants to snoop around - depending on what your state laws dictate of course.

But if that was the building owner, I'm sure your manager can have a few choice words to say to him on his behavior.

Yup, that's exactly it. He owns the building, my company leases a good chunk of it. That's why he doesn't have a key, and why he should have known better.

Yeah cos physical access means he can access your inventory, the safe*, and whatever else he may want to help himself to.



* even if it's locked it doesn't mean it can't be opened. all you have to do is take the entire safe out and then you can spend as much time as you want on it.

UPDATE:

He came into the store yesterday to apologize to me for freaking me out. He even said, "They were right not to let me in." WTF dude, if you knew that, then why were you harassing me and scaring the shit out of me?!? Sigh....

Well, not knowing what was going through the Owner's head, it might have been that he was unaware of the store's closing hours and wondering what was going on with the lights being off, and had a momentary panic.

Maybe he was just being an ass.

Regardless, he recognizes he had been freaking people out and apologized for it. Does he mean it? No, but at least he's paying lip service and has said he's sorry.

Glad that he had enough sense to apologize for being a doofus...too bad he wasn't a doofus in the first place!
