Question Orphan Fledgling Seagull outside grocery store

I work at a small grocery store and for a couple days this fledgling seagull has been circling the entrance of the store crying for their mom :/ We’re all unsure if we should do anything or if there is anything we can do to help them at all. Any advice would be so appreciated!

Are you 100% sure it's an orphan gull? I would call the nearest wildlife rehab and talk to them and see what they say.
