Plumbing?

The customer had been acting rather weird to the cashier when he came into the store.
Older dude with a beard.
Apparently he'd been talking about Adoptions to the cashier before he suddenly was like "Where is my light?! I put it down!"

But he hadn't brought a light into the store.

Eventually he wandered away deeper into the store.
-This was happening like within the first hourish of opening.

And the cashier commented over the radios that he seemed a little lost so if a manager could go check in on him.

Head Manager did and asked if he could help the customer find something.

And the customer....was looking for the Plumbing Department.

….we don't have a plumbing department.

So the manager helpfully directed the customer to head two doors down to the Hardware store nearby that did do plumbing things.

And we didn't think much of it after he left the building.

However.

An hour or two later.
I looked outside and noticed that there were two trucks parked facing the store.
-In parking spots where the cars should be parallel to the store not facing it.

One had Police written in it, the other was unmarked.
Thought it was weird.

But didn't think much more on it.
Until we looked outside again.
And there was another marked police car.
And a police truck nearby.

And there were at least four officers standing in front of the store,
Talking to someone in a white car that was parked in front of the store.

A few minutes later an officer walked in wanting to know if we had cameras outside.
We didn't.

And after a bit I got a good look at the driver of the car.

It was the same fellow who'd come in a couple of hours earlier looking for the plumbing department.

But we couldn't figure out why so many officers were there.
Like normally one or two would be fine?

Had the car been broken into?
Had the car been hit?

Well, another customer told the cashier.

That apparently the gentleman had been making a nuisance of himself over at the Lowes.
I think to customers and maybe coworkers?

And so the store had called the police on him.

The officers talked to the gentleman for a while.
And then left.
And after they left.
The guy got into his car and drove away.

So...still have no idea what the full situation was about.
But hopefully they all got it sorted.
