They might gave been loss prevention. This is pretty common to see around here at places like Walmart.

Unfortunately not. I left out some stuff because it's an unpleasant memory but on my walk there I saw him driving, and he pulled over to beat a dog in the backseat. Animal cruelty isn't really prosecuted here so it's weird he'd be that bothered by a witness.

I was nervous and keeping an eye on him after that and sometimes I wonder if he thought I was up to something and got his buddies on the defensive. Or maybe he was a garden-variety creep and saw a fem-presenting person walking alone.
