Well i started working this week at a large hardware store. im supposedly working as a security guard (sigh). ive done this before with a different company, they let us carry mace. they would have let us carry guns but it was a small company and they couldnt afford the insurance (we made 5.00 an hour).
this new company lets us carry squat, boss missed my folding knife, and our uniform is jeans and a blue plaid shirt. if there is a problem of any kind we are to call........THE STORE MANAGER?!?!?, i met the store manager she is about 5 feet tall, whoooo scary. i have a scanner, i use it to laser beem lumber. so im a security/checkout boy? wth!
i have a taurus .38, im stuffing that puppy in an ankle holster. if shtf nylon coated +p led will fly.
how can i provide security if i cant provide security??!!!!??!!! loss prevention i could get, stop people from taking stuff, this i can do. but its reeeaaaalllly hard to be intimidating in flannel. sigh, my only thought is i wonder if carrying my old trusty .38 is going to get me in trouble. i didnt sign anything saying no weapons and the boss didnt say dont carry anything, no one else does, and it seems kind of frowned upon. shrugs.
dont ask dont tell i guess.
anyone else see any security that is totally worthless if somthing goes down. gimme some examples.
