This is long..
I've been working at the pet store in my town for a few weeks now, and when I work, I'm there alone. I worked today, and mom came in a few times to keep me company. She called and told me our friend was coming over, and they would come over together. A little while before they got there, an older guy (about 60's) came in, and the minute he started talking, he kind of left a weird impression. We talked for a while, because he was saying that he was interested in buying the building if it's for sale once the pet store is moved across the street. Then he started acting weird and asking more "personal" questions, like where I lived, where I went to school, and if I had a boyfriend, and saying things that implyed that I was going to be his receptionist when he bought the building and made it his "office". Luckily, mom showed up then, and I changed the subject by saying, "Oh, my mom just got here!" and she came in carrying one of her friend's babies. She started crying when she saw the guy, and so he gets right in her face and says "Just shut up!" We were a little upset/annoyed by that, and so he hangs out for a while, and keeps talking. A little later, he tells mom "You have a nice daughter," and she just kind of looked at me like, "Okay?" and I shrugged, because I didn't really know what to say. After that he just starts acting stupid, and asking things like, "Do you have pet supplies here?" I was like, "Is this not a pet store?" Then when he finally decides to leave, we all got a little freaked out, because he stood at the door saying "Bye Holly," over and over until I heard him.. it was so weird. Then I went out to my car for a second, and he kept honking and waving at me in his van.. so I kind of ignored it and went in. After mom, her friend, her daughter, and the babies were in the car and ready to go, her friend called the police and told them there was a really strange older man hanging out with a 17-year old girl (me) in a pet store, and he made her think of a pedophile. A policeman came over a little later while mom ran home for a few minutes, and he asked what was going on. I told him an older man came in and was asking me strange questions, and my mom's friend called the cops because she was a little worried. Mom called before he got there and said his van (we got his plate number before he left) was right down the street at the bar, so I told him his van was there, and he went to see, and talk to him if he was there. We thought he might be waiting there until I got off and would follow my car home. Mom came back, and her friend called and said her and her husband knew someone living in our town, and he was going to go over and literally beat this guy to show him that he was stupid to yell at their baby, and to be hanging around in a store alone with me at work. Mom called her friend who lives right by where I work, and they decided to go over and see if he was there, and they would call me when he left. He didn't notice they were there, and he left a while later, so they told me to watch for him. He never came by, and the guy who owns the bar said he knew him, and he's a real weirdo. We found out that this was the second time someone has called the cops on him this week (he threatened to shoot everyone at our local VFW when he got kicked out), he got kicked out of four places that day, he was seen at the gas station bothering the girls working, like he was with me, he just got out of jail not too long ago, and I think he was the guy who, before being put in jail, brought a machete to a doctor's appointment. Mom and her friend came back, and she brought pepper spray and showed me how to use it if he ever came back, and I didn't feel comfortable. I'm hoping that he won't come back, especially while I'm alone, because after all the things we heard, I'm a little scared of being in there alone now.
