Mission Failure, Or: "Why were there so many cops?" |8:17 PM|
Dammit. My plan to infiltrate a CompUSA in an old uniform and mess with a customer failed utterly, seeing as my old managers were RIGHT IN THE FRONT OF THE DAMN STORE. What the hell were they doing there? Bah.
We went to a lot of trouble. I shaved my chest and taped a microphone to it. An X-10 camera and battery pack was placed in a purse and taped in place. A car DC inverter was aquired, and hooked up in a Toyota camry idiling out front, with Videodrome on Support, Boobarilla on surveilence and myself on Ops. Vid was supposed to watch and record the X-10 feed from Rissa's purse, while remaining in contact through a hands free cell phone. I was to mess with a customer, and be in the store for less than 5 minutes. Sadly, seeing my old manager (Damn you Mr. Morales!) and an old security guard, I had to scrub the mission. It was exciting, and expensive. But as a test run it went fairly well.
We drove across the street to a Best Buy, but unfortunately I lacked a Best Buy shirt, having only worked at CompUSA. Oh, and there were a bunch of police in front of the store. Which is bad. The only person who talked to me (once I was inside) was a Best Buy employeee
Who was helpful and polite! I mean, Christ almighty, how often does that happen?
About the only funny thing we managed to record was when I was buying a 12 pack of beer for a friend, I told the employee that "It's the only beer my 6 year old drinks" and that "You know, they're teething". Besides the dirty looks I got from one set of customers, nothing came of this.
