Context

So I work for an arts and crafts store as a cashier and on occasions people may leave or drop their Phones or Cards and either another customer or coworker will bring them up to me and we usually keep them behind the registers till the end of the day (then they go into some place in the office)

Onto the Story

So this kid comes up saying someone left their phone, I just say “Thanks”, take it, and write “Someone left behind” on a sticky note to put on the phone and it lays face down behind the registers.

So an Old Lady comes in and asks if we found a phone, I show it to her and she says it’s hers and I give it to her.

You think that would be the end of it, I did, but no I wouldn’t be writing here if that was the case.

My Manager answered a Phone Call and just so happens to be the same Old Lady again.

My Manager asked me if I ever touched or got into the phone, I said “No” and basically explained to her what I did.

She’s still talking to the old lady and I hear her say “Well I’m talking to him now”

I don’t know what else was being said over the phone as my Manager mostly listened to the lady’s rant with just Mhhms and such

The call ends and my Manager says that the old lady’s friend said something along the lines of “Glad you found your phone” or “Did you find your phone?”
