I can kind of see what was happening, skeptic53. They weren't really thinking about the logistics of the journey, just thinking they had an excuse to not "waste time" going to the office if they could avoid it.
Today was the last day on the front line, I get to go back to my nice safe cube for the next 4 months.
Of course, this couldn't end quietly. About 4 pm, a rather large middle aged male stormed up to the counter and threw his EBT card at me (hit me in my sweater covered left chest bump) and screamed "YOU F***ED UP MY EBT AND YOU ARE GOING TO F***ING FIX IT NOW, B**CH!!!!"
I looked calmly back (not so calm in the inside, when he threw the card, I had grabbed my cane on the shaft in case I needed to beat him with it) at him and said "No, I am not. You cannot come up to me swearing and throwing things at me. That's assault on a government official and is a felony. You will leave now, or that nice man (points at the armed security guard) will detain you until the police arrive."
The dumbass left his card as he was running out the door. I actually wouldn't have done anything else but look up his case and mock him, but the very upset and protective guard called the police and I ended up doing alllll the paperwork that comes with something like that.
As to mocking him, his card was still active. There wasn't anything on it because he didn't renew in January. He is also banned from ever coming back to our office and my sup had the police to start a restraining order process so he can't go to any office I might be at.
I was never afraid of him, I was fully prepared to beat him unconscious if he got in cane reach. I was worried because I was wearing my new white, cream and tan turtleneck sweater and didn't really want to ruin it with blood splatter. And as a jaded government drone, I really did not want to do the paperwork that half killing someone would involve.
