I’m no blamer, and everything looked fine, right up until the gift card request. Am I losing my sense of humor?
• by Riddar at 03:16 PM on 03/27/08 * @Starfury: Yep, at that point they are allowed to call the police if he refused to leave. It is a given that the manager was out of line, rude, over-reacting, possibly enjoying the power a bit much, but he was legally right here. The fact this is written with the hopes of getting “a massive gift card” throws me, though. • by savvy9999 at 03:17 PM on 03/27/08 * Wow. I’m surprised that the police themselves didn’t tell the manager to go pound sand. Isn’t there some rule or law against frivolously using public resources to enforce non-existent corporate policies? Do the cops in East Brunswick, NJ have nothing better to do? Sic ‘em, Alex! • by Riddar at 03:18 PM on 03/27/08 * @tme2nsb: What do you want? I didn’t blame the victim for a thing, but the manager IS allowed to ask him to leave the store, and the police followed through within the law. No blame involved. Whether or not they were ‘wrong’ is a matter of opinion • by ludwigk at 03:20 PM on 03/27
