Hi all,
No posts for a while but part of what i do now involves covering a retail store as uniformed security, read walking round being seen and having a peek at what set the exit alarms off if i am close.
Blind Cart Lady
The store provided a motorised scooter for public use, this lady was given the key by customer services and off she went to do her shopping. around 15 minutes later a store employee mentions to me that someone on a mobility scooter is crashing into the endcap displays and that they had seen them hit a few now. Off i go for a walk round but everything seems fine, the lady is seen just going slowely down an aisle and then the next. Back to door duty i go. A while later she comes zipping towards the door and crashes full pelt into the alarm tower beside the door.
I walk over to her ans she screatches at me where does this go. I point at a wall around 7-10 meters away where it lives and say by the wall (pointing) where you got it from.
"I can't see the wall" whilst looking at the direction i pointed. She starts doing a 3 point turn.
I mutter "and they let you drive"
Her reply - "Only in here"
She then drove off past the wall and down the rear of the checkouts nearly running a few people over. I catch up and say something like "you passed it its back here" She ripped the key out of the scooter stood up and marched past me thrusting the key at me saying "you park it" and walked off showing no mobility issues at all towards the exit. I pushed it back to its place and then immediately went to wash my hands as they were now sticky/tacky and there was a very funky smell around the cart.
Disabled Child Cart
We have a trolly where it has a very large seat on it for disabled children (upto 35kg), An old man comes in pushing his wife on it, he gets about 6 feet in the store and tells her he cant push it any further. I walk over and point out its for children and point out the other wheelchair options. They have a quick giggle and off they went on their way.
That evening i am doing a store walk after my break and find a middle aged woman has her mother in the same cart at the back corner of the store, i go over and have a quick chat pointing out the sign on it saying for children etc. they had a so what attitude, they got this far they were keeping going. Not alot i could do so shrugged and kept on my walk about. I had pointed out it may not last with an adult weight on it but they were willing to take the chance it would last.
