So I work at a grocery store, just yesterday we got a notice saying that we have to watch out for people walking into staff only areas such as back room stock, back offices and open areas like back produce and seafood. Also a huge safety concern is the loading bay where trucks come in, there is a TON of loose pallets and wood pieces and a huge 6 foot ledge that is pretty dangerous that you actually arent supposed to be on unless youre staff but funny enough people still go back behind the store and do stupid shit. Anyway all of this was done and posted through out every store in the region, because other stores in the region have had issues of random people walking into STAFF only sections trying to catch pokemon... Now I know what some of you are thinking "well just tell them to leave" yeah but its more than that, its the fact that pokemon go is making people almost lose common sense, if a sign says STAFF ONLY use your brain and dont enter that door, we cant only assume youre trying to catch pokemon, you could be attempting to steal and thats jail time, you could be trying to sabotage product WHO KNOWS.

People are going nutty over this Pokemon GO shit, I dont hate the game I have mutual feelings for it but seriously... playing pokemon go doesnt automatically mean you can just go anywhere you want.

Unfortunately a lot of people don't bother looking up from their phones or will just straight up ignore signs, like in Zed's case and your case. People walk into incoming traffic, people walk into shitty neighborhoods and end up getting robbed if not attacked, hell 2 weeks ago 2 people in San Diego walked right off a cliff, and it wasn't just an open cliff, it was fenced off which you know, doesn't mean anything to them apparently. Either way both apparently fell somewhere from 75-100 feet (different articles have different numbers.) I honestly enjoy Pokemon GO and the Pokemon series in general, but I honestly feel this gives some people the "excuse" to act stupid or just not simply care what they're doing or where they're going.

Probably thinking "Hmm... If I jump juuuuuust right" and then they end up getting hurt. It's not even the games fault, it's the peoples.

Try to get your neighborhood monitord by a cop or security. That or talk to town/government or whatever to put a fence between the park and your house. Hope that helps a little:) feel bad tho

If a fence didn't stop two people from walking off a cliff and if the fence that is already around Zed's yard didn't stop people, another fence isn't going to stop people from wandering into the yard unless people learn that it's barbed and actually get hurt from it or if it's electrified. Even then, I wouldn't doubt if people still may attempt it lol
