I think most of my regular shops know I'm a shopper, or at least suspect it. A couple months ago I had a very strange experience with a restaurant that I shop at regularly. The place was BUSY, I got my food and took my usual seat. First the cashier keeps looking at me, then she ducked in the back for a minute between customers. A minute or two later a manager comes out with two buckets of ice, but while she pouring the ice into the dispenser she was staring at me. A little bit after that the same manager decided she needed to clean the dining room, so she made a couple passes and got close while I was eating, I stopped eating and smiled. She turned away and moved away from me pretending to wipe tables. Then she decided to collect trays because there is a tray collection area directly behind where I normally sit. Coming around behind me she pushed customers that were in line to order out of her way so she could look over my shoulder at what I was typing on my phone (a facebook post about a dog.. lol). Then she went back to the back where she came from and I didn't see her again. When I was done eating I went to the restroom and the cashier followed me into the restroom, she went into a stall and I brushed my teeth, she did not use the toilet, it did not flush before she left the restroom and she did not wash her hands. lol
That manager could have come to the table to visit (something she could have gotten an excellent rating for), she could have smiled back at me. The cashier could have minded her own business to start with and just provide excellent service, which is what I got from her until she started this ball rolling. Then the whole shop went down the drain. The next time I went to that location the entire crew had been replaced..
