So yeah. I’m on my break. The cops are here so I’m not worried. This job is wild some days.

Coworkers and I saw the woman outside pulling stuff out of the trash and eating/drinking it. She noticed us all looking at her and started banging on the window.

One of my coworkers went outside to talk with her. She said she was on crack(totally believe it lol) and wanted us to call the cops on her. My coworker came back in.

The woman chased off some customers who were sitting at the table right outside the door, sat at the table and started drinking what they left behind.

She then grabbed some trash from the grocery cart she had with her and brought it back to the table. By this point the shift had called the cops. She kept yelling at customers and lit up a cigarette. I went out and told her she couldn’t smoke so close to the door.

A cop came, told her to leave and took off. She got even more bizarre so we called the cops again. The same cop came back and she still refused to leave.

I was on my lunch, went outside and noticed she was trying to take the dog bowl we keep out front. I told her to put it down. The cop told her to put it down.

She started calling me a bitch and saying a bunch of nonsense. I went around the corner and she followed me.

She told me I need to start wearing a kevlar vest. I asked her why. She said she carries a glock and was going to shoot me. Right in front of the cop. So the cop and I both start yelling at her to get her shit and go. She got her grocery cart and took it in the middle of a busy street. The cop says she’s going to get run over in a very unconcerned tone. She stood in the middle of the street flipping me off and saying she’s going to kill me. I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures of her.

The cop got back in his car and sat there, I went back inside, and she eventually left.

That’s pretty much it lol.

If it makes you feel any better, the garbage eating demon probably doesn’t carry a $700 pistol. So i think you’re safe in that regard at least

I wasn’t really worried but she was definitely wilder than most of the homeless people we get at my store lol. Plus where I live pretty much everyone carries, so 🤷‍♀️

damn i’m sorry you had to deal with that. baristas definitely don’t get paid enough to deal with the crazy shit they deal with… you seemed to have handled it pretty well tho.
