I am wondering if this is something I should report to AP.
Last night was a typical closing shift. ETL-GE was LOD.
We ended up having to stay only about 20 mins after close, and the ETL-GE was telling TMs they could leave as their departments were finished. (which is weird, because normally we all leave together) So, he was on the radio saying "Softlines is good. You guys can clock out" then a little later "TMs in Toys/electronics can clock out" etc.
Anyway, he never walked my department (not even once) after we closed. I was in domestics/furniture. Then he got on the walkie and said "Ok, everyone else can come up to clock out"
Once we got up to clerical (there were about 5 of us left) he asked if one of us could stay with him while he wrote the closing e-mail, etc. I volunteered for this.
As soon as he let the others out, he said "Hey I need to finish up the cash office really fast if you can just wait here". I told him no problem.
About 10 minutes went by and I was getting kind of annoyed, so I went to guest service and stood there waiting for him to exit the cash office. It was dead silent, and I didn't hear any noise from the cash office so I figured he must have had to run to the bathroom or something.
I stood there *literally* for about another 25 minutes wondering when the hell he was going to finish whatever he was doing.
To my surprise, all of a sudden the cash door opened. I had not heard one sound from in there, so I didn't even think he was in there.
So once he came out he was like "Oh there you are. Hey, sorry, I had to walk the floor again really fast before I finished this". So I was just thinking huh... ok... I was standing here for 25 mins and you've been in there the whole time.
So I was like "Oh no problem. What was wrong in the cash office?" and he was like "uh well uh.. well I just uh had to count the money"
Now, I used to be a GSTL, and I know that is bull sh**. All the closing LOD does is basically throw the money bags in the safe. It takes about 3 mins max. Not over 25 mins.
So I was just like "oh ok" and then he quickly took me to clerical and we left.
So I am wondering if I should tell AP to check the camera from last night to see WTF he was doing in there? Because I sure as hell know it was not "counting the money".
I am just wondering if there is anything legit he could have been doing in there for 25+ mins though. If there is, I can't think of anything. It was also completely silent, so whatever he was doing, it was pretty quiet.
