| 0:00.0 | I own two locations of a store. I usually work at one, so when I went to the other, |
| 0:04.3 | an employee there didn't know that I was the owner. She tried to accuse me of stealing from |
| 0:09.6 | my own store and told me that she was the owner. Here's what happened. Subscribe to |
| 0:15.3 | MI The Jerk on YouTube and hit the bell to turn on notifications. About seven years ago, |
| 0:20.2 | when I was about 19 years old, me and three of my friends opened up a cell phone store. We |
| 0:25.2 | basically repair phones, cell third party contracts, and cell accessories like screen protectors |
| 0:30.4 | and cases. As the business grew, we wanted to expand, so about four years ago, we opened a |
| 0:35.6 | second store on the other side of town. It was one company with two locations. I was the one pushing |
| 0:41.0 | the opening of the new location, so it was basically my project, so I was at the new location more |
| 0:46.2 | often than not. After six to eight months of running the new location, business finally stabilized |
| 0:51.7 | and was standing on its own two feet, so I wasn't at the new location 24-7. At one point, |

| 1:06.5 | would open up the store in the morning and stay there for a few hours with the employees, |
| 1:10.4 | and I would arrive later in the day after opening up the other one. When I arrived, one of my |
| 1:14.9 | partners was on the phone in the back, talking to one of our wholesalers, so I left him to it and |
| 1:19.4 | just decided to look around the store, as I haven't been there much over the last few years, |
| 1:23.6 | and the time I did spend there was mostly 10 second visits for deliverers and such. |
| 1:28.4 | Here's where this story starts to get good. As I'm looking around, this girl started to watch me. |
| 1:33.8 | If I walk from one end of the store to the other end, she kind of follows me, pretending she is |
| 1:38.5 | doing inventory or something. All I thought to myself was, uh, okay, that's kind of weird. She was |
| 1:44.9 | a new hire, so I never really met her before, but I assume she recognized me or something since |
