Stay Barred Or Behind Bars

(I work at a well-known coffee shop as a barista. This particular customer was a regular before he was banned from our location because he would often host religious, awkward rants with random customers in line. Management has informed us to call the police anytime he enters the cafe now. The banned customer enters the cafe, and instead of entering a line for the cash register, he approaches me on bar.)

Me: “You know you can’t be in here, [Banned Customer].”

(My supervisor spots him and right away grabs the phone and heads into the employee’s only room.)

Banned Customer: “Can I just get a drink before the cops get here? I’ll leave right after.”

Me: I don’t think you understand the whole ‘you’re not allowed in here’ part.”

(The banned customer cast me a spiteful eye glare and defeatedly walked out, but not before taking a shaker of nutmeg off of the condiment bar. He still comes in.)
