Hope this is in the right section, if not I'm sorry! It's not really a SC but something rather note-worthy.
Since it's getting closer and closer to Christmas ( oh joy ) and people are buying more and more crafts to do at home, Random Craft Store has been hiring people for the holiday season. There's a stack of filled-out applications on the SM's desk that resembles a rather large novel.
This happened Monday morning when I was working at the register near the end of my shift. A lady comes up in my line, asking if we're still hiring -- I tell her I think we're at least taking applications but I can call the ASM anyways to see if we're still hiring for seasonal. Customer says okay, I call the ASM up to the front for customer assistance, he tells her the same thing I told her and she said oh, okay.
The lady hangs around my register for another five minutes after my last customer leaves with her stuff. She's reading the magazines and lightly chatting with me, saying that she should have put in an application earlier. No big deal, same stuff I hear a lot with customers -- except for one thing.
She told me that she need to get a job so that she could get money to stop a stalker. She also said that she'd be on the government's radar so that they could step in and lock up the stalker.
I walked away a few seconds after that, clearly with a WTF look my face. I understand that someone needs help getting rid of a stalker but clearly that was TMI for me coming from someone I don't even know. Isn't that the job of police to help out with and not a lowly Craft Store employee?
