Yesterday was weird.
Congratulations, you recognize me. Now GTFO!
An SC followed me down to the locker room when I got to work. There are bathrooms down in the basement, but customers generally don't use them unless it's a parent with kids (multiple stalls so nobody has to wait). I'm almost to the locker room, sense a presence behind me and turn around...just as SC tries to grab my arm (she does grab my purse strap).
Me: *wishing there weren't cameras down there* Excuse me, this is an employee ONLY area.
SC: I just wanted you to help me find something.
Me: (wtf you must have walked past at least five employees to chase me) There are plenty of employees upstairs on the floor. Leave NOW.
SC: I want you to help me!
I suspect that this lady is going to stand around while I change and follow me to the timeclock..and then complain once she gets my name. In retrospect, I should have let that play out and have her admit she was in the basement with no good reason...maybe then I could see an actual ban in action.
Me: There are cameras here. You should NOT be here. Right now, someone upstairs is getting ready to call security. GET OUT.
SC: *splutters* You won't help me?
Me: Not now that you're trespassing.
SC makes a move for the grocery loading room door, I use my bag to herd her up the stairs and out onto the floor. Dairy guy J sees what's happening and says he will make sure she doesn't get near the back of the store (or me) until I'm up front; he'll also have my back if SC tries to complain. Which I don't think she will, as doing so would be admitting she was trespassing.

SM had the pallet jack run over his foot earlier yesterday (he was leaving as I started). I told him to get it checked immediately even though he was walking around; with his weight, even a hairline fracture could be bad.
