Tonight I am not laughing. I am very upset at the moment. I feel like I was taken advantage of. Now with that said I hate when people are rude. I hate it more so when the person who is being rude has a badge.
I had dune nothing wrong. Today I was at Arundel Mills Mall with some friends, and as we where walking out to our cars we noticed that the security was around them. As we approached we saw that the front of the car next to mine had been almost totally destroyed by fire! Lucky for me my car was still intact. No use asking what happened it was obvious. So I looked my car over and so did a friend who is a mechanic. I then went to take a picture with my phone. They always tell you to do this. Immediately the police or security guard who ever he was told me that I was not allowed to take pictures. I was speechless! I said excuse me why? He said that it was because I was not allowed to, and they had already taken pictures, done a report, and that they would give me a case number.
He was rude in the way that he spoke to me and could care less about me. My car did have some melted plastic on it, water had gotten into the car and got the car seat wet, and it was covered in ashes, not to mention if there are scratches. He said that the fire men had checked my car and said that nothing was wrong with it. We all think that he was on a power trip. He was a elderly man not that that really means anything. So I did get the the case number and the name of the other guard. Needless to say I have already left a message for the officer and that I was the pictures and to know why I was told that I could not take pictures. We will see what happens.
I am very tempted to fined out what the other mans name is and speak to his supervisor about his attitude, and contact the mall about the situation. I am a customer at YOUR mall and I am going to be treated like that. That is not right!
O hey and by the way my friend had taken pictures before he said anything. So I do have my own pictures. This is a mall that has security guards driving around the parking lot. Yet they have the highest crime rate between the other malls in my area for theft. What is wrong with this picture?
Through my experience today it looks like they don’t care. If there is a next time I will take pictures. Don’t get me wrong I like police and security guards they have helped me many times. I just don’t like the position that he was putting me in. Feeling helpless.
