I was working as a security guard.
She called the cops on me because i refused to call my manager for her. The thing was it was getting late and my manager goes into the office early.
She wanted to complain about how I tie my shoes.
She came in when I was re-tying my boots, saw that it was weird. Got offended enough to demand I tie them “the right way”.
I politely explained that the usual bow falls apart too quickly, especially with the boot laces, and the doubled up bow is impossible to undo. This was a much better knot… and “now are you visiting someone here?” (Aka “can I just trespass you already.”)
She got even more offended, insisting I do it right. I refused again. She insisted I get the manager… whose at home, probably sleeping or fucking... Nope. Not giving you his cell either, so you can harass him.
So she called the cops for “impersonating a security guard and I just feel very unsafe!”
So. Cops come out. Replayed the security tapes - with audio- “yeah.”
You can just say he's sleeping...
But also wow
No. I told her the truth: she doesn’t get to demand that. It’s contract security, and while there are elements of customer service…it is absolutely not customer service. For one thing we’re allowed- and expected to tell people to fuck off.
If I had to call my boss- who literally had no fucking clue what the policies at that account were- every time someone felt entitled…
We wouldn’t be in business very long as a company.
I meant in the post
I like that he gave us options.
