so what he wants is he doesn't want you to come back. I don't know why would I want to get back. So uh, you're gonna get trespassed. How can you just say that I'm not allowed in that restaurant? Correct. How could that be the law? It's their restaurant. He's the manager. I know. Do you believe that I did something wrong in there? I just argued with him in a very minor way. I know it sounds silly, you know, but he called 911. But why did he call 911? That's what I want to know. Well sir, everything audio video recorded. I'm officer Vega. What what's going on? So I've got an employee that got a little disgruntled, decided to uh, stop employment. Okay, and we were like okay, well let's separate ways, have a great evening, and she just posted up at the front door and started she started time protection. Yep, oh pretty much. What's name? Abigail. Abigail uh, what does she do with here? She was an

expedit. This was her first solo day. She's only gone through four days of training. Oh jeez. And now she just... Where is she at? So she is staring at us. Is that the one coming out right now? Yep, that's her. Okay, all right. And did she push anybody or anything? No. All right. Trespass or... Yeah, I'd prefer if she didn't come back. I mean, that was pretty ridiculous. I'm going down to the Capell. She me? Yeah, good. If we trespass her, it would just mean that she can't come back to this location for one year. Do she get arrested? Sounds great. Okay, all right. S, I can you? No. Okay. Officer Vega, R Police Department. Everything's audio-video recorded. I'm not going to arrest you or anything, okay? I'm just talking to you. That's all. Okay. I guess I've never had the police called on me before, but I guess there's the first time for everything. Yeah, okay. It tell me what happened in your words. Um, I don't know. I

was just. I just came in for a shift, and so my training just ended. So it's the first day of like that actual shift starting where I'm working by myself, and everyone's acting really weird. And like, uh, they're like putting pressure on me to like do a good job, but everyone's like giving me different advice. Like, you better do this, you better do that. And then the manager, who was not supposed to be here during my shift, or that's at least what was told to me, he started like intimidating me, or just like, I don't know, it's just like the way he was communicating with me didn't feel safe. Okay, but to me, it's just um, violent or nonviolent communication. Just the way he was expressing himself made me feel unsafe. CU, he's like a huge guy, he's like a bouncer. Did you see him? And he's telling you that I'm causing a problem in the restaurant, and then you quit, and just uh, then he told me um, I don't know.

I just kept arguing with him, and I wasn't going along with what he was saying. He told me that he was going to have me leave, but it was just a vague thing where he told me to leave but didn't say it directly. Then I said, Okay, so what he wants is he doesn't want you to come back. I don't know why I would want to get back. So, You're going to get trespassed. I don't want to. What that means? He just don't come back for a year. That doesn't make sense. So he's using the law against me right now. I didn't do anything in that restaurant. I just quit. Yeah, uh, if I can't, I can't give you too much advice on what to do legally. He gave me the reason why he was allowed to ask for me to not be there. But if I forgot my belongings there, how would I get... Oh, I'll talk to him. May.

you're okay with that. I'll go talk to him right now. Can we, can I come with you, please? Uh, you would have to hang outside. No, no, but he's outside, so can we meet outside? I'm not, I'm not fing anyone. Do you want to, um, do you want to hang out here, and I'll go talk to them? Your belong part? Yeah, I would like to have a conversation with him. Not like it's the best to do it by phone. By phone? Give him a call. I should call him? Yeah, that would be the best, 'cause they don't want you in the restaurant. If you go back there, he's not in the restaurant. He's outside. He's already trespassed you. How can you just say that I'm not allowed in that restaurant? Correct. How can that be the law? It's their restaurant. He's the manager. You believe that I did something wrong in there? I just argued with him in a very minor way. I get it. I just, I don't understand what is the law that allows him to say that.

he can block come to that restaurant the what they're the owners or they have he has managing he's he's man well he's man he's the manager and he's allowed to do that he doesn't have power to B anybody restant but just for random reasons for yeah they can just yeah it's like no no no Ser they can refuse service to anybody why would I want to be served there I don't want to be served at the restaurant it's not good yeah you sound like a very nice person this doesn't make any sense to me I don't understand the situation you told them you to quit though right oh I made it very clear in language that I'm leaving right now I'm quitting though okay so there's no gra yeah and you were you were telling me that you were waiting for him to come back so you can grab your belongings but he went outside no no no I was trying to tell him that I was going to quit cuz I was trying I was like deciding and I

wanted to speak to him to see if we could like come to an understanding or an agreement 'cause I just wanted to be upfront with how the situation was making me feel and whether I could continue working there. But I feel like it makes sense that we'd be able to talk to him briefly and then settle it, but he was gone. Okay, but I wasn't going back to get myself stu. I don't know if I left stuff in there. I could have. Do you guys have a locker room in there or what? No, they just have us put our stuff in stuff down. And what do you think you left back there? Um, I don't think I left anything. You don't think you left anything. Okay, I was just saying in case. In case. In case. Call them. Okay, okay. But you are trash pass from the location. Can I get your full name? So are you going to put that on my legal record? I I'm just asking for your name. You don't have to give it to me. You don't. I won't give it to you. It doesn't

make sense to me okay but don't like we visually know what you look like so don't what does that mean don't don't go back here if you get caught why would I go back here I know you won't I just have to tell you that I know it's I know it sounds silly you know but he call 911 and but why did he call 911 that's what I want to know what did he think I was doing there he says you were just annoyed at him and angry why did you come find me away from the restaurant I should have stayed in the restaurant so that we could have talked in the restaurant not outside I was just talking to him when you walked out oh so you were waiting outside yeah know I was talking to him I had just arrived I arrived like I don't know like 5 minutes in case you guys were coming but it seemed like you weren't coming did he tell you to leave or did he just walk you left you just now no no before

that when you said when you said you quit and you did you hunker down in the restaurant or what no no I was walking towards the door to leave and then I was chatting with the employee who trained me one of the people that trained me I was telling her I'm leaving then he got out his phone and said that I was trespassing and tried to he called the police I was literally just talking to them telling them that I was leaving well check this out you're not in trouble I we just you know just walk away call them if they owe you money you can call a lawyer or something I tell going to not pay me no I'm not saying that but you know just if you need correct civil case or whatever but um at the moment don't go back there don't go back today if if we come back and you're back there like Hey where's my stuff or whatever where's my paycheck or whatever you could be arrested for trespassing I wouldn't I'm not planing to go please.

have okay. I'm not worried about it. Okay, this is very... you seem like a very bright person. Get better. J seems like a very strange situation to me. Are you guys allowed to tell me your actual opinion about it, or do you have to give the legal... your legal professional opinion as a police officer? What is your question? I'm just not understanding the logic of the situation as a whole. Like, it seems any business can tell anybody they don't want them there, and they can trespass them. So basically, we're doing a simple service, but what would his reason be? It sounds like because he thought you were being belligerent and worthless. Do you think I was being belligerent? It doesn't matter what we think. Uhhuh. So it doesn't really matter what happened that own. So in this case, a manager. Okay, well, thanks for explaining it to me. I'm going to get... I'm going to get a case number for you, but why? Okay, just you want it. If you don't want it, you don't want it. I mean, you already.

made it case number any time. All the case numbers gener just so it's like he just created a legal, like a criminal record for me, but you're saying it's civil. It's a civil record. It's there's a record of police being called. Uhhuh, we are not filing charges. Uhhuh, there is no criminal case. Uhhuh, but we also are advising you of a civil advisory that if you go back there, you are now committing a crime. But, and now you're also, you have a video of me talking for a while about this, and then it's going into your database, and you want my information, but I don't have to share my information, correct? I don't want to legal record for the random incident that has nothing to do with the law in my op. Okay, thanks for being de.
