I'm prepping the closing deposit, still got a driver out, and a man in the store. It's past closing time, but not by much.
I see a man walking around the side of our building, which is odd, since there's no cars out there. Instincts are telling me 'he does not belong here'.
So, like an idiot, instead of going around the other side, and peeking around the corner, or even calling the cops, I decide to walk to the back of the store, and crack the back door.
There he is, 2" from the back door, hellu startled that I opened it first, I think. Anyhow, at this point, while he's startled, I slam the 40lb steel door shut, and, apparently, half-unholster my firearm, and drop the safety (I didn't even notice I did this, until I took a step back from the door, and I don't know what good I thought it'd do, given that the 2" thick steel door was already shutting at that point. A person foolish enough to put thier hand in the way, would soon be parting ways with it.).
At that very second, my driver calls in to let me know he's a moment away, and will need let in. I told him to park at the store across the way, and look to see if anyone's behind our shop. He says there's no one there (the store across the way has a great diagonal view of the rear of our store) he tells me he's gonna drive around the store, and check it out.
All clear, but still scared the heck out of us.
I'm sure I did plenty wrong, including not calling the police. After going out to let the driver in, nothing turned up out back.
