there's only one other patron in the store this late at night/early in the morning, and they're currently shoveling handfuls of candy into their jacket. they occasionally pluck out one, unwrap it, and push it into their mouth, chewing with weirdly sharp teeth.
( @changedbysong - for any muse you'd like)
great. how long has he been here for ? half an hour ? & already the customers are misbehaving. guy considers ignoring it. maybe if he acts oblivious, nothing will come of it. but then again . . . the store has cameras for a reason. if management reviews the footage & sees him standing around, doing nothing, while someone steals merchandise ? his ass is getting fired.
not that this job means much to him, nor does he give a damn about theft. but he's already lost two other jobs. it may be harder to get a fourth one, & he desperately needs the money.
grumbling incomprehensibly under his breath, guy grabs his notepad & scribbles furiously. he then approaches the candy - eating patron, holding the paper up for them to see.
[ I HOPE YOU PLAN ON PAYING FOR THAT. ]
