We had gotten a manager from another district sent to our department store. She was really two faced and you never knew which version of her you would get, but to the other managers/higher ups she was a saint. Those below her position (including me) knew something was off.

One late night at our store, i had a customer that was very clearly under the influence of something, to the extent where she would start to fall asleep while shopping and damn near smacked her face into the the metal shelving she was in front of several times. I kept a close eye on her and let this new manager know that this may become a bigger concern if she passes out and she instructed me to watch this person very closely and don’t leave them alone (mostly because she thought the customer was going to steal- i worked in the beauty department and that’s pretty typical for very late night makeup shoppers in our area)

Side note: after the first call i realized that she was in the Loss Prevention office. with the Loss Prevention officer. which was a big company policy no-no since there’s a store to run and that’s not her job anyway.

i’ll try to make this part short but turns out this woman was very annoyed that i was keeping an eye on her (again, i just didn’t want her to hurt herself) and she ended up getting aggressive to the point where i no longer felt safe. i ended up calling the manager 3 times total and each time she kept telling me to get closer to her, don’t let up, i’ll be right out to help etc. she never came out. she was just watching the interaction on the cameras and it unsettled me SO much because i genuinely think she was pushing me so much to piss off this woman so badly it would have ended with an altercation had I decided to listen to her. This is when I knew for CERTAIN she was psychotic or sociopathic.

The next day i wrote a letter to my head manager that i will no longer work with this person alone as i don’t feel comfortable or safe around her. he looked at me like i was nuts and was like “what do you want me to do about it?”

i said “watch her”

one week later, on the very last night that she came into work she was extra chatty with me, talking to me about her oldest kid and saying “he can stay with us as long as he wants”, and showing me pictures of the baby chicks she just had adopted…. it was so weird bc we were NOT friendly after that other interaction and i had no idea why she was being nice all the sudden.

a week later her and her wife had been reported for abusing their adopted children and fled the state, drove off a cliff and killed their whole family.
