Sighs heavily "Are you aware of the mislabeled products you're selling?"
In my door way holding out my hands palms up defenseively"What!? What!? F-R-E-E-D-O-M!"
I have papers here that say otherwise. Let me see inside.
Fine then, I'll get a warrant and come back with a search warrant.
"Please not the freezer one, if it comes out, I'm being sent to Texas and banished for 100 years!"
If you comply and let me see the products, I won't need a warrant. You wouldn't want to go to Texas, would you?
"No one wants to go to Texas, you know that's just a saying."
Well, then why don't we make a deal? I let you keep your freedom if you let me see the products right now.
"Fine but remember what you see stays between you and I, got it?"
Of course, my dear. And I promise to be discreet about everything I see. Now, please lead the way so we can settle this amicably.
I sigh and lead her into my door way as I grab out all the products and hand them to her"There you go, don't judge me too harshly please."
Thank you for your cooperation. I promise I won't judge you based on these products alone. I'll just take a look and make sure everything is safe for consumption. Starts examining the products carefully
The only thing she sees is a milk product that was made past the expiration date but nothing terrible. She also saw a canned good that had pressure issues but again nothing terrible.
Smiles warmly You've been very understanding and cooperative, and I appreciate that. I'm glad to see that most of these products are still safe to consume. Only a couple needs to be discarded, but nothing too serious. You can rest assured that your customers will remain safe. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
"Thanks, it makes my day, especially since yesterday was the 29th. Now it's the 30th so I don't have to worry about Texas!"
Nods approvingly You've really turned things around today. It's always a relief when things work out for the best. I hope you continue to stay on track and keep your customers safe. Remember, your cooperation is much appreciated. If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to reach out. Have a great day!
"And to you as well Ma'am!"
Takes out a business card Here, if you ever need anything or have any further questions, don't hesitate to call me directly. I'll be more than happy to help. Have a great day!
I smile and watch her walk away from my doorway and shut the door as I lean against it"Whew that was close...Freedom from Texas..."
Agent Scarlett walks down the street, satisfied with the smooth resolution of the case. She takes out her phone and sends a report to her superiors, detailing the outcome and her positive experience with the vendor. She heads back to her car, feeling grateful for another day of successful investigations.
Later that evening after getting back from playing D&D with friends, I check to see new messages and find a text message from an unknown number.
Checks her phone and sees a missed call from an unknown number. She immediately calls it back, eager to see who it could be Hello? Is this Slide?
I pick up my phone and answer"Hello?"
Hi Slide, this is Agent Scarlett. I hope you don't mind me calling you outside of our meeting earlier.
"Oh hi! How did you get my number?"
I found your contact information in the notes of the case we resolved earlier today. I hope this isn't too forward, but I wanted to personally thank you again for your cooperation and understanding. Your professionalism really made this experience much smoother for both of us.
"Well thank you, if there's anything I've learned it's that communication is key! So thank you again!"
Well said, Slide. Communication truly does make all the difference. I'm glad we were able to connect and resolve this matter so smoothly. If you ever have any other questions or need any assistance in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. You can always count on me. Have a wonderful evening!
"To you as well, and once again thank you! Goodnight."
Hangs up the phone, feeling grateful for the positive interaction. She smiles and starts jotting down notes about the case, making sure to praise Slide's professionalism and cooperation in her report. As she finishes writing, she feels satisfied with the day's work and heads home, already looking forward to the next case she'll be able to solve with grace and efficiency.
This all happened on July 30th, a few days later I was sending out shipping labels to vendors and slide delivery personnel when suddenly a package slipped out of the gap in my door as it was sliding down the floor"
Agent Scarlett was walking down the street when she noticed a package sliding out of Slide's door. Her curiosity piqued, she quickly walked over to investigate further. As she picked up the package, she saw that it was a box filled with various sweets and snacks. Curiosity led her to open the box and take a peek inside. A smile spread across her face as she discovered that it was a selection of Slide's homemade treats, carefully packaged and ready to be shipped to vendors.
"Slide's Treats Homemade and Fresh Made Daily")
Agent Scarlett felt a surge of excitement as she realized that she stumbled upon a hidden treasure. She quickly opened the box and took a bite of one of the homemade treats, her eyes widening in delight. These treats were truly delicious. She felt compelled to learn more about Slide's cooking talents, and her mind began racing with ideas for how she could incorporate these treats into future investigations. But first, she needed to return the package to Slide and see if they had any more delicious surprises waiting for her.
She goes to my doorway and knocks gently"Slide! Open up please!"
Slide, I couldn't resist trying one of your delicious homemade treats. They were absolutely mouthwatering!
"Uh, those aren't quite ready for the market yet, as they were suppose to be shipped out tomorrow."
I understand, Slide. I apologize for not waiting until tomorrow to try your treats. However, I can't help but express my genuine admiration for your culinary skills. Your creations are truly exceptional, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I'll make sure to leave a glowing review for your treats online. Thank you for letting me try them, and I hope you continue to create amazing delicacies for everyone to enjoy.
"Well thank you, I made them late because I went and experimented with a local syrup maker to try and push the boundaries of flavor and nutritional content. They are however all vegan and organic so you're safe." I grin and hand her a jar of homemade jam* "Here, this one should be fine to bring home."
Agent Scarlett's eyes widened as she received the jar of homemade jam. She examined it closely, taking note of its vibrant color and enticing aroma. She couldn't resist opening it and taking a taste, savoring the flavors that danced on her palate. She couldn't help but exclaim in delight as the sweetness mixed perfectly with tanginess, creating an explosion of taste that left her craving for more. This jam was truly exceptional.
It's ingredients label has written on it"Local Berry Syrup, Made Fresh from Wild and Free Range Berries using Forest Floor Yeast. 100% Vegan and 100% Organic"
Agent Scarlett felt grateful for discovering such an amazing local product and desired to share it with others. She made a mental note to research the local syrup maker and write a glowing review online to help support their business. She wanted to encourage others to try their delicious products as well, and hopefully bring more recognition to Slide's culinary talents. With that thought, she smiled warmly at Slide and thanked them again for the jar of jam, promising to cherish it and savor every delicious drop.
