complaining that she was sick and didn’t want to work, but had to. After grabbing a cart and sanitizing my hands, I tried to track her down, but she ducked into the back of the store before I could catch her. So I told a store manager, who responded that none of his staff would do that. Argh!

Seriously, there were no more than twenty people in the store at the time and I knew she was an employee because of her store uniform. I also knew she would be working the shift for restocking the shelves because it was 15 minutes before closing. It’s my local store and I knew that’s what time the restocking crew comes in. Some of the shelves were nearly empty of product.
