I had closed the gate to my checkout, turned out the light, wiped everything down, took my till out and had walked away a bit when I saw a customer start loading his groceries on the now-abandoned belt.

i walked back to try to help by simply saying, “Sorry man, that checkout is closed, you’ll have to go a few up to get through.”

I went upstairs, counted my till and posted my results, got my stuff and went to leave.

Suddenly my bosses are on me checking if I’m okay, and I’m being escorted off-site by security for my safety.

Apparently the man was not appreciative, went to the managers and told them he was going to wait for me outside so he could run me over…
