We have a homeless man that stays in our store basically everyday. We give free coffees to and occassionally will treat him to meals, etc. I like him. But, we found this where he sat last night. Ive read it over and over. Send help maybe idk?(i.redd.it)

He seems like his mind isn’t in a great place right now, please don’t call the cops or anything. You just gotta keep reminding him that he’s welcome and treat him with respect.

I don't think the cops need to be called. Hes a frail old man, not much harm he can do. We all treat him fairly well so I dont think it's a threat.

The cops in our area do wellness checks on the homeless guys that frequent our store, just to make sure they're ok.

Ya we had a few my location was by a mental hospital. None were violent just odd. One time my SO was waiting at my work to pick me up he made the mistake of talking to one of our regulars. He showed him his plans for communication devices and rockets. Something not of this world was supposed to come pick him up he just need to build the rocket to get out of the earth's atmosphere. This regular also declined to keep the rest of a cup of breve I had given him (he used so much it was easier to just give him a whole tall cup to himself) on the grounds that to much milk made him cough when he smoked weed.

Feels like a note from an NPC in a video hame that only speaks in riddles

I disagree with everyone so far. It may seem harmless but I would let your SM know and potentially contact the police. You really don't know his state of mind or his intentions. It seems like he really needs help.
Edit: Spelling

I think you did the right thing by simply saving the note and not necessarily calling the police. It’s a sign he could possibly be dangerous. Not that he is. I’ve seen some homeless folks at my Starbucks that write, do, or say some disturbing stuff. At my previous location, I sat near one regular and I heard him whisper, “She’s a serpent. She needs to die”. I avoided being near him after and told my manager. He never tried anything. And even though I had been the only person around, I don’t know who he was talking about.

Yeah he talks to himself quite a bit and when he sits on bar I can hear him say things about me but he talks to me like he likes me so I'm hoping it's nothing bad. But who knows man
