Went in to Whole Foods this evening for a bag of coffee. They have an officer there roaming the store in the evening hours and this one picked up on me pretty quick. I know I don't print, but I must've fit the guy-carrying-under-the-open-sport-short profile pretty well. Hell, I know I do {shrug}. Anyway, he was within a couple of feet of me yacking with the guy behind the coffee counter while I filled my bag, then shadowed me to the checkout and took up a position a couple of positions away and watched. Our eyes never met but I could feel him watching me they entire time. He headed to the p-lot ahead of me and kept an eye on me till I got in my truck. I take that as a positive non-encounter encounter. The man did his job and he was obviously satisfied that I was no threat.

DAMMIT Pete, we're talking about nearly being mauled to death and coffee, NOT fashion.

OP probably paraniod. The off duty LEO, acting in the capacity of store security, should not pay attention to people? roflmao.

[Renegade]

Police officer or security officer?

I had a WalMart security officer pull this on me. I asked him if he was familiar with the phrase "Designated Decoy"? By the look on his face, I could tell he had no idea what I was talking about. Ignorance is bliss.

ETA:

NM I see PD in thread title.

 

[Ironhorseromo]

I see the aloha shirt guys always packN. Not hard to spot.

 

[40Arpent]

Maybe he had just used his No No.

You rag on me about fashion but YOU wanna talk about manscaping? WTF DUDE?!?!?
