Negative shopping experiences
Your shoreline WA store has a problem with homeless folk from the neighborhood. Lots of beggars in the parking lot, OK, no big deal. But there are drug deals going on and people fairly openly inject on store property. Today I was threatened with assault by a homeless man who had spread out his belongings on the mens room floor and was bathing in the sink. I am 66 years old and a longtime regular customer. Phoned the (rude) manager a few minutes later. She said, So? What do you want ME to do about it? I mentioned the drug activity in the parking lot. Same response: So? Call a cop. But I was trying to save her trouble by talking to store management instead. I have compassion for people who may be down on their luck, and Im not blaming Freds for the homeless problem, but when you see people washing dirty socks and underwear in the mens room sink, spitting on the sink and mirror, or sleeping on the floor (unmasked), things have gotten out of hand. Lets remember, were in the middle of a pandemic. Maybe hire security? User's recommendation: Avoid the rest room; watch out for syringes outside.
