Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Call the cops, Mr. Mall cop!

I seriously dislike and avoid malls.

That being said, my wife wanted a perm so we stopped to see the folks at Regis in the small local mall. I knew it would be awhile so I went and ran some errands , then came back to wait for her (since I was holding the payola.)

So I took a seat on one of the mall benches and sat there... until the mall cop came by and started questioning my purpose in sitting on the bench. ("I am waiting for my wife.") "Well, I wasn't so sure about you, because you never replied when I said hello." WTF???? That's a crime these day???I apologized for the slight and he went on his way.

After 10-15 minutes he came back around, approached me once more and told me he sensed I was "giving off bad vibes." I told him it was no such thing, "Leave me along, I'm hurting no one. Get away from me."

At that point I got up to leave, and he asked why I was being hostile. I raised my voice and told him to stop harassing me, something he denied. Then he told me to leave or he would call the cops. So I went and sat back down. He again repeated the same threat. I told him to call 'em.

So then I sat and continued to wait for my wife and he went outside, pressing buttons on his phone while he did.

The cops never showed and I waited the remaining 20 minutes until my wife was done, we paid, and then left.

I don't know WTF is wrong with us sexagenarians these days.

Mall Cop Salsa doesn't actually sound like a bad trapping bait.

You got shifty eyes, that's the problem.




P

Why you mad doggin gramps?

Ask him to show you the reading on his LE 'Vibe-meter' to see if its within legally prescribed limits.




Low self esteem cop requiring validation of his existence.

Next time ask if a man-hug will help....or just carry some emergency donuts.

Ain't that the truth, but not sure how it applies here.

The vibes I was getting from him suggested he might have like that....really liked it.

A perm huh I didn't know those were still in..

Ok , then switch the donuts for a bunch of red roses...

Yeah, I used to see it in the Army, every Private with a badge had an attitude and they often had to be reminded of military courtesy.

I felt like asking him if he thought I had a pressure cooker stuffed in my back pocket.

I like to get their name and their boss's name. A follow up letter to the mall manager and photo copy of the receipt from the business visited would probably draw some serious attention.

I messaged Bentley Mall and had a reply in 15 minutes or so:



I emailed 'Securitas' as well since the dude had a uniform with such a patch; not convinced it was real though.

Malls are under a lot of pressure these days and keeping them in the black gets tougher all the time. Letting anything drive good traffic away is a bad move.

I made reference to the vacant storefronts when I contacted them. Malls make me uncomfortable to begin with; they don't need the 'help' of some rent-a-cop to make it worse.

Too bad you did not demand they send mall management to participate in the conversation or go straight to mall office.

Time for him to get another job

Don't say anykthing! Cell phone photo, Mark. Better yet, video
.

THEN tell him you are waiting for your perm as soon as your wife is finished....

Mall cops....always a good time to revisit the saga of Geck045. Funny chit.

Cannot recall last time that I was in a mall in the U.S. At least 5 years? No need.

the Bad vibe thing.... hard to figure that one, I guess. He was either bluffing on calling the real police, or they had heard him cry woof before.

An elbow to the eye followed up with a nice solid throat punch would have really driven that bad vibe thing home for him.
