Yesterday a girl came into work without her ID card (shocker). I politely apologized and told her I couldn't let her in. Instead of leaving she tells me that she's been on campus all day in her gym clothes waiting to workout. It was 9:30 am. (I don't know if its just me but last time I checked 9:30 am is still morning.) Again I told her I couldn't let her in. She then proceeds to ask if we can take a vote although my friends would take my side. (If she knew my friends would take my side why would we vote?) But like the 2 previous times I told her no.
A good 5 minutes had passed by now and she was still persistently standing there blocking the way. She continued to try a few other excuses such as, "my step dad works here, I'm going to go say hi to him", "I'll just wait until you leave and then walk in", and the always classic, "Just let me in, I won't tell if you wont". Again I told her no, no and oh yeah.... NO. She wanted to talk to my manager. I gladly had him come over. She reenacted another creative story and used a few more excuses for him. Guess what? He said no too. (Weird how all the employees do there job and follow the policy). She FINALLY left after being rejected by upper management.
10 minutes later guess who showed up? Yup. Her. At this point I needed a break from people and had moved where Sam had now taken over. This time she said, "Because Makenzie won't let me upstairs (all the workout equipment is upstairs) I'll just stay on the main floor" (where the track is). Wait a second...she just said my name. How does she know my name? What the? Why does she know my name? HOW DOES SHE KNOW MY NAME? (Seeing as I wasn't wearing a name tag and don't go around announcing my name I'm still trying to figure this out. Creep) Anyway, just as the boss and I had, Sam told her no. Again, she left.
Yes, she did come back for a 3rd time, 5 minutes later. With her ID card. And just like that she was let in. Crazy how that works.
I still can't believe she was for real.
p.s. Would someone please explain how she knows my name???
so... if I came in today and I didn't have my ID card, would you still not let me in? seriously? come on, I only want to go upstairs and use all the machines. I'll even refrain from the drinking fountains. What if I googled employees at the field house and found out your name and all your personal info so I could know the person to be mad at forever? still? no?!? ugh. the audacity!
