Man Has No Idea Why His Card Is Declined Then Cops Get Involved

She knew that her profession was nothing to write home about, but she couldn’t understand why the officer was approaching her. She felt uneasy as she watched him, but this feeling only grew when she looked past him and noticed that man she had sent away earlier. He was hiding behind the cop.

Her heart was pounding hard as a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead. The officer reached her desk before slamming his fists down on it. He was angry. But then he made a demand that made her jaw drop.

Different Emotions

Alicia Danielle spent the better part of her life working at a pawnshop. She spent years observing customers behind the counter and thought that she had seen everything. She had seen people’s eyes filled with desperation as she tallied their purpose.

She had seen women shed a tear as they pawned a sentimental piece of jewelry just to make ends meet.

It was an emotional job, but she learned to harden over time. She could not cry for every customer who desperately needed money, she would never be able to get through the day! She needed this job more than anything.

Two Types Of Customers

Alicia had been in the industry for decades, and this provided her with the ability to tell a man’s intention just by looking at his eyes.

People from all over came to the pawnshop, but Alicia soon realized that people could generally fall within two categories: those who are desperate and those who are greedy for a deal. But the officer who she met that day left her confused and stunned.

She Knew Them All

Alicia was friendly with all the regulars, that is what happens once you see a person once a week for years, and she had them all figured out. She could immediately tell you who would debate with her over the price of a rare antique and who would happily pay the displayed price.

Not many people lived in her town, so she essentially knew everyone. So when a strange man waltzed into the store one day, she knew she needed to keep a watchful eye on him.

A Stranger

Alicia sat down behind the cash register, but she could not help but feel concerned when the strange man rushed toward the back of her store. She placed her finger near the panic button, which was located underneath the counter, but it did not make her feel calm.

She realized if things were to go south, everything would be over long before the police arrived. She could have never anticipated that the authorities would side with the stranger.
