After reading the feed store thread, it reminded Swim to post some real-life events that went down at one of the local "bullseye" stores.
Speaking of scare tactics, this one lame employee from Bullseye will walk by (directly in front of Swim) with his intercom/cell phone and give a full description of what he is wearing, how many boxes of pseudo he is purchasing and just stand there as the "supposed" security guy he is talking to says, "Yeah, I see him... WE will wait for him by the door"
What do they expect? For Swim to drop his pseudo and run for the door? Funny thing is, nobody is ever waiting for him by the door.
GOOOes without saying, Swim doesn't park his car in the parking lot anymore.
Swim is going to do some counter surveillance and find out what car he drives and get HIS tag number. Next time he sees him, (and is not purchasing pseudo) he will hit him up and ask him point blank for his name. (which they are required to do) especially if they are not wearing a name tag (he never does)
When he asks why Swim is asking for his name, then Swim will say, "Do you drive a specific make/model/year car with plate #.......?" When he says yes or no, then Swim will respond with "I could have sworn that I saw three people trying to break into it."
When he realizes that nobody tampered with his vehicle but very well COULD, he may not take his job as serious as he used to?
I guess the best thing to do is ignore him (and not frequent the store as much) because he truelly is irrelevant and is probably part of some anti-theft management team, to make other employees aware of certain people so they can zoom in on them with the store cam and discourage them from stealing?
Or is he discreetly trying to give Swim the hint to take a break from this particular store? Everytime it has happened, it went down on a Monday. At least that is what Swim said!
Funny thing is, the only time that Swim ever sees this guy is when he is buying pseudo, he is never available at any other times, so chances are he may never get to work his own scare tactic. He is kind of young to bee a cop or fed but he sure wants to bee one awfully bad!!
They sure are getting bold, they are literally working this scare tactic directly in front of the customer!
Is this scare tactic familiar to anyone else?
Edit: If they combine this tactic (applied to people buying the maximum allowable) with some RFID tracking chips?
