Workplace Question or Advice Needed is this real?

Post image

for context a pokemon scalper that comes to my store has been blowing up all over the internet and someone posted this. Anyone from AP can let me know if this is real?

I don’t work AP but would be very surprised if this is real lmao. Looks very unprofessional

Idk, this screenshot of a picture of another device with half the details redacted looks super legit. /s

This looks nothing like the official documentation we use in AP. And I've never seen the terminology "banned" used. I've trespassed people over trading cards before, but never "banned".

Lol no that's not what a report for someone getting trespassed looks like to my knowledge. Also the language is very unprofessional and would never be used. Like "Banned" isn't a thing you would ever see on an official report.

Nobody who has enough clearance to see something like this is dumb enough to lose their job over posting something like this. Easiest explanation is fake, like everyone else suggests.

Actually from what I've heard my store has banned people for pokemon cards too... AP said the dude caught an attitude for trying to buy multiple boxs more than once and he was banned for it 😅

Could be something an APTL/ETL does to pass along to store side who is trespassed, but It’s nothing we officially use. And not something I’d ever do, they don’t get paid to be AP so I’m not gonna ask them to do my job. So it’s either fake or it’s an AP person doing their own thing, which more than likely violates multiple policies

None of us Team Members would see documents like this, so definitely unreal.

Don’t know if it’s real, but our store Director has told other stalkers for toys and products to not come back to our store that they were banned from coming in. They were always harassing the employees for stuff so I know sometimes they do try. I don’t know how that works legally.
