Adding the racial issue puts the scenario into another level of false imprisonment and I don't want to go there either.
As for avoiding the teen shoplifter, it is mainly because that seems to be the example everyone else is using.
"False imprisonment in a business setting"....the brain is just dead right now.
Could be someone obsessed with America's Most Wanted, and is sure a customer is one of those fugitive types and locks them into a store room or the dressing areas.
Or store employees see a guy talking to a toddler (He was trying to help find the mommy/daddy, and was about to alert store personnel) and they assume he's a pedophile trying to abduct the kid, and imprison him as above?
interesting ideas Daniel - thanks.
I have a weird imagination
From the Mineapolis craigslist, barter section:
I own a frozen custard restaurant in south Minneapolis that serves the best frozen custard in town! I have a small parking lot at the restaurant that needs to be plowed. Interested? I can pay you with a few gallons of custard!
I hope I can find someone to go with me....
You rang?
Actually, you did, while you were here, and my stupid phone didn't tell me for 14 hours. So I totally owe you an evening Event.
Gershwin Girl has a question for the peanut gallery.
For the last several days her breasts are really sore, and the only time they're generally sore is right before her period, but that's usually much shorter time and she is not on the period now. She's not taking any hormones/birth control, and hasn't been for quite a while. AND her chest size has definitely increased, and she has gained no weight.
Oh, and she's not pregnant.
Is she going through puberty again? At 24?
I AM SO ANGRY.
Fucko ebay seller did NOT ship my castle cake tin on Monday like I WAS NOTIFIED IT WOULD BE.
I've left a very snotty message.
Is she going through puberty again? At 24?
If it's sudden and/or dramatic enough to be a concern, she should see her doc to rule out any possible medical cause for a jump in hormone levels (which is exactly what the symptoms sound like).
On the other hand, both her hormones and her body type may just be shifting more toward their adult levels post-adolescence. I know that both my cup size and my cramps are more than they were when I was in college, and while I don't remember that shift happening all at once, mid-twenties sounds about right for it.
JZ, I sent you an email. Did you get it?
