Disturbing...

So there's this really crazy guy who comes in to shop at my store on a quite regular basis and all my cashiers are terrifyied of serving him because he creeps them out. He's got more than a few screws loose and likes to talk about death a lot.

Until today I've never had a run-in with him, but I had 3 people go home to take care of sick kids today, so I was running a cash register for most of the afternoon and had the pleasure of chatting with our crazy man. He walked up to the counter and before I could say hello he blurts out:

"I'm thinking of walking to work down the centre of the highway tomorrow. I've never done that before I bet people would notice that, I've never done that before."

So I'm thinking to myslef 'ok looney tunes, hang on while I call the mental health clinic down the road", but I know he's always a little crazy so I just tried to explain what I bad idea I thought that was. He dropped the subject, and paid for his sunglasses....on a rather cloudy winter day I might add....and went on his way. As he left I didn't know whether to laguh at his craziness or be genuinely afraid that he might actually be suicidal. I don't know what I could have done since I don't even know the guy's name....but I do know that I will feel largely responsible for having done nothing if I hear tomorrow that a man was hit whilst playing in traffic on highway 2A.

Scary. How do I help a crazy man like this??
