This morning at 8:30 I was picking up pictures from Walgreens on Rainier Ave S. I noticed this man posted outside. He said hi and I responded back with a simple good morning.
Little did I know this guy followed me in.
Fast forward when I left the photo counter the guy (mid 40s) was standing two feet away from me. He started asking short questions and staring DEEPLY at me. He was also getting super close. This is when I noticed he had his hands in his pockets. I was uncomfortable and started walking away slowly. He kept going and walking with me.
The scariest part was that he backed me into a corner near the front door. My back hit the brick wall and he kept getting closer. I was TERRIFIED. Then, out of nowhere, the Walgreens employee who checked me out stepped in between us. He took my receipt and started talking to me about my order, like we were in the middle of a normal interaction. Counting the photos, asking questions etc etc. I caught on and said I might’ve gotten the wrong order.
As I’m standing with the employee, the man disappears. I was so shaken up. The employee was so kind enough to walk me to my car and watch me leave the premise just in case the guy pulls up. I never got the employee’s name. I wish I asked.
Thank you so so much for saving my life. I can’t imagine what could’ve happened if you weren’t paying attention from the start.
