I was a retail Loss Prevention (much more than Security), & Safety manager for 20 years & ran across this often. Sometimes it was nothing but a distraction while others went on a theft spree, & other times it was really an abuse issue. The fact that she was taking off her coat, & then they split up & went different directions makes me think this was a distraction thing. Either way, good for you for stepping up & shutting it down! I've done the same thing, even when it wasn't my job to do so. Shut. It. Down.I just got back from an interesting shopping excursion.....first, I was in the short (crap...I forgot how to spell the word!) anyway the short whatevers where the bath and body stuff is and I heard really loud cussin and carrying on between a man and a woman. That particular isle ( remembered!) had something I wanted but they were blocking it. The employees were also standing around at either end of the isle and gawking along with other customers.
This went on for about 15 mins. so I asked one of the employees why someone didn't call security or the cops...she looked all panicky and said she was trying. More and more people were gathering to gawk..I was getting more frustrated... I wanted my bubble bath! Then the man went up really close to the woman, she acted like she was gonna take off her jacket and throw down...the language from their mouths was atrocious! And loud!
So I went between them and told the man to back off and if he even THOUGHT of talking to me like that or, worse, raise a hand to me, he'd be in jail so fast he wouldn't know what hit him and I'd sue him for threatening an old lady. The man went one way and the woman another, then the employees said i shouldn't have interfered...I told them that I had to, since no employees had the guts ...and i wanted my damn bubble bath.
And as a reward, after I left the store, a nice senior gentle man came out of the bus to load my groceries, talked the whole ride and carried them to my door, said it was a pleasure talking with me, hoped to see me again...
as that matchmaking commercial guy said, " I had my first flirt today"
Haven't had this much excitement since...well...I can't remember

I don't have the thing that says get it......dunno if this computer can handle it it's so messed up. Dunno if I want it, and I usually let everyone else test em and tell me how they are. My biggest concern is....in prior releases, they'd get a couple versions ahead of a particular version (in my case win 7) then say, oh btw, we're not gonna support that version you have anymore. I like WIN 7, just don't wanna end up like I did when they stopped supporting XP
The supported XP for a long time before they pulled the plug. It was just the users that didn't want to switch. Windows XP was solid and stable and everybody knew what they were doing with it. The follow on products, not so much. There was a group of Windows releases that were just crap for a while there.
yeah I know everyone liked it. But, and I don't recall which ones, might notta been XP, but seemed like if they got two versions ahead, they'd stop supporting older ones. Don't really want to get stuck with an outdated Win 7 past the time that you can still get win 10 for free. Dunno if that's sumpthin to be concerned about or not
I didn't explain it fully, Kenna, they didn't go off by themselves, they were escorted by the security detail..finally!
The old hermit sits quietly beside the small pool of clear water in a small alpine glade high in the mountains watching a young man drag himself over the edge of the cliff he just scaled to reach the old master. The young seeker composes himself facing the hermit, as he’s about to ask his question, a shadow passes over them. The seeker looks amazed as a pizza delivery man parachutes in to land in the tiny grove, the old hermit says “ This is the meaning of life”, the delivery guy says” It’s takin us 3 months, but finally it’s here in 28 mins. And delivered” The hermit looks at the young seeker and say’s “ pay the man ,your pizza’s here.”
