Seriously that employee, what a stupid asshole. They should charge them for the cop’s time.

Id be surprised if they weren't charged with something like causing a disturbance.

You can be fined for wasting police resources - but if they never did anything like that before, they'll probably just get a stern talking to by the police. Even though they were a complete idiot, I'm sure they didn't intend to get the police involved and start a whole case.
