With three trained killers in a public space, you have mass, synchronization and terrain to your tactical advantage (and probably a few more tenets of the battlefield which I cannot recall at the momemnt) and you could have taken him if things got dicey.

Alfred- LOL! He’s probably saying I looked pissed like I was gonna kick his ass. LOL!

Mr. Geek- The security people at Neiman’s and Nordstrom are completely invisible. Most of them are either cops picking up some extra hours or ex-cops who have retired. They’re good at their jobs. Even a thief wouldn’t notice them. After this experience I realized that Fred Meyer probably can’t afford to hire good people and doesn’t train the ones they do hire. I think this guy thought he was playing cops and robbers. And because he was continuing to watch us like that, I’m not altogether certain he was just doing his job. He was hella creepy.

Scouty- LOL! That’s a funny story! Did I ever tell you the story of when I was 13 there were two abduction attempts on me? It kinda shapes the way you think. Oh and you start paying attention to creeps! Ok I’ll Kung Fu your guilt. HI YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Okay, I could have told you that was security? Why? My super power is guilt.

Got caught shoplifting as a kid in elementary school. At grocery store, unsupervised, parents had no clue where I was which was with friend who my mom was supposedly providing day care for…different times, my friend.

Anyhoo, we got caught. They released us but my father, besides beating me, decided they should fake having me “booked and finger printed.” Then I wasn’t allowed in stores for one year. If they went into a store as a family, I had to sit in the car, alone, cold, and scared.

Big deterrent and to this day, I always feel guilty and feel like I am being watched in store a as thief.

When I enlisted in the army, I believed their story so much I told them when I signed my contract that I had a record and they had to do a through background check before looking at me like I was crazy because nothing came up for stealing a purple lip gushers, blue eye liner, bag of m&ms , and romance novel.

They took me anyway.

So you look for phantom child stealers and I look just guilty. What a pair.

I need you to kung fu my guilt, m’kay? After almost 30 years? It needs to go.

These Guys are creepy … they just get to justify their creepiness by getting a job being creepy. It just sounds like this guy was less good at covering it up!

I’m glad you’re all okay and that you could have taken him if he hadn’t ended up being a security guard!
