Sticky Back Here, Huh?

Worn leather boots on concrete floor

I was closing the bar and I let [the server] go home early that night. While I was standing behind the bar by myself, I heard very clear footsteps behind there with me. They sounded like heavy boots that were sticking to the mats with each step. It was a very clear sound of someone adjusting their footing.

I was spooked, so I closed up really fast. A couple of days later, I was stocking the bar with a new girl whom I was training. Our stock is in the basement, so we had to go down there to get stuff. At one point, we went down there together so I could help her find some things. The lights were off, so I told her that while sheโ€™s stocking, she can leave the lights on and doesnโ€™t have to turn them off every time she heads back up.

She told me she hadnโ€™t turned the lights off.
