Somewhere on the front of his body, halfway between his shoulders and belt is a line already, and I would be sure to use it, but I wouldn't pay him any attention, but I agree with others here that the manager should be advised...

I also wouldn't draw a line for the back of the box, I would just answer the question with a NO.
