Had a woman in the store today with a brand-spanking new MacBook Pro. Like, the NEW NEW ones they released less than a week ago and cost $2000 and up. She had some stuff on it that she wanted printed up at our Copy Center and was transferring it to a flash drive when she started to run out of battery power. So she brought it over to the Service Desk where I was and asked if she could plug it in for a minute so she could finish the file transfer. I said sure, plugged it in for her, and went off to do something else.
Less than a minute later, I came back, and she was gone, but the laptop was still there, unattended!!!!
I looked around in a near panic and she was NOWHERE to be found. I was in a complete bind because the New Service Desk is very open and there was nothing to stop an unscrupulous individual from snatching it up and waltzing out the door with it.
I eventually stashed it out of sight in a cubby hole under the counter until she came back. The trusting fool of a woman actually didn't come back for nearly ten minutes.
I made a point of telling her that she should not leave valuables unattended like that; she seemed unconcerned.
Idiot.
