Shop workers ‘called police and went into hiding’ after customer asked for sliced cheese

The Telegraph – by Adam Boult

Two men from Richmond, Virginia, experienced a bizarre series of events recently when visiting a store to buy some groceries.

Local news broadcaster WRIC spoke to Ricky Berry, who entered the CVS store earlier this week with his friend Philip Blackwell and asked an employee if there was any sliced cheese available.  

The worker informed him that there wasn’t – and then, a few minutes later, Berry and Blackwell noticed that they were alone in the store, apart from one other customer.

“He was in the store before we were actually,” said Berry. “He had a bad tooth, all he wanted was some Orajel. That’s all he needed.”

The three of them then spent in excess of half an hour wandering around the shop, trying to find a member of staff.

Eventually a police officer arrived at the store and joined them in their search.

“We were walking around trying to find an employee, and the cop himself ended up opening up the emergency door, which set the alarm off,” Berry said. “A couple of minutes later, he got the call from the alarm company asking what was going on.”

“He was laughing with us because, like, this is how weird, apocalyptic movies start.”

The shop staff were eventually found in a locked room at the back of the building – and, a few minutes later, the police officer told the three men they had to leave.

“He just told us that we need to leave premises or else we would be arrested for trespassing,” said Berry. “We had no idea what was going on.”

According to Berry, the staff had been “scared” of the customers – and it later transpired there had been a disturbance at the store earlier in the day.

A CVS spokesperson has since apologised and said that the employee who called the police will be spoken to.

  1. “The shop staff were eventually found in a locked room at the back of the building…”

    Like Henry says, this country is in serious need of gene pool cleansing.

    Some sheeple are just too fragile to survive without the so-called ‘government’ there to ‘care’ for them.

    They’re only ‘here to help’, after all.

    idiots
