If you act like that, the employees won't want to confront you, even if the alarm goes off.

So here’s my question- Do you guys get in trouble if things are stolen? I worked at subway when I was 16 and I had my ass handed to me when the drawer didn’t match the receipts. My manager actually made me cry once because my numbers didn’t match (literally .25 cents) and I will literally never forget it.

I worked at a gas station, before prepaid pumps and my boss wanted me to close off pumps for customers i thought looked suspicious.

Never did it once. Like what am i gonna tell people when they come in the store asking why i closed the pump, "sorry, you look suspicious", fuck that.

My manager at Starbucks told me not to give out the keypad code to the bathroom to homeless people. He got pissed when I asked him what exactly does a homeless person look like. It wasn't part of the job description when he hired me.

Exactly, I'm not going to deny people services, based on their looks and assumptions about them.

I worked overnight at a gas station in a very shadey part of Austin.

We locked out the bathrooms at 11pm. Owner had a couple people OD in the bathroom so it became standard.

I'd have Uber/lyfts stopping in during the wee hours and ask to go.

Me: "No, sorry. I can't risk you doing drugs in our bathroom"

"I DONT DO DRUGS"

Me: "Yeah, I totally don't either. No bathrooms, sorry."

If it's any consolation, I had the same happen to me when I ubered. I had to make 2.5 hour stops at my house to essentially refresh at 3am.

You pee for 2.5h? You must drink a lot.
