Playing With Your Heart
“I used to work for Macy’s in their beauty department. We had all kinds of weird customers that came in. Guys who would come rub lotion all over their legs, women who would take perfumes and spray them down their pants, all kinds of stuff you wouldn’t believe. I literally would never use a store tester under any circumstances. But one interaction was by far the strangest thing that happened to me.
I was standing at my counter and was approached by a guy who looked like he was in his late 30s. He asked if I had any kids and I told him I didn’t. He said he was giving away free toys at the old Big Lots parking lot the following morning. I was like, that’s cool but I don’t have any kids. He asked me if any of the girls I worked with had little girls who would want free toys.
I told him that they didn’t have any kids either. I was getting super creeped out and walked behind the counter. He was like, “Tell your friends if they have little girls to come tomorrow morning and get their free toy.” I called my husband on my lunch break and told him about it. He agreed that it was super weird and that I should for sure not to tell any of our friends about the free toy event.
I also called our local security office and they were basically like, what are we supposed to do about it? Yesterday, one of my girlfriends shared a story about a local guy who is being investigated for human trafficking and a string of unsolved murders. I looked at the photograph and immediately recognized the suspect. It was the creepy toy guy!”
