While it would still be funny (of course), it also would be sad ... so, my 2 cents. Laughing, but feel guilty about it ... As for bikini/heel girl mentioned in the comments, however, she deserves to be prosecuted.

There are food banks for people who need food. I'd like know just at what point thievery became an acceptable and excusable crime. If one genuinely needs help there are plenty of people who help and are willing to help. People who steal usually suffer from problems other than hunger, simply kleptomania in most cases.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703373512813585703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-82189781779786970432011-11-07T18:51:18.785-05:002011-11-07T18:51:18.785-05:00Such interesting situations you get yourself into!...Such interesting situations you get yourself into!MaryssaGChttp://www.greencupboards.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-40325693946320644402011-11-07T14:22:20.251-05:002011-11-07T14:22:20.251-05:00Maybe he was hungry and didn't have any money....Maybe he was hungry and didn't have any money.

However, there were a few "customers" that always did it and we recognized them. Once they came in the store, the customer service manager would get on the loud speaker and say, "Scan Zone 23" or whatever number was on the top of their head. The part that cracked me up? There were no "zones" and nobody moved to scan anything!Deputy's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072138281879237378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-44067875149559807032011-11-06T15:03:48.730-05:002011-11-06T15:03:48.730-05:00In high school I worked at a grocery store, one ev...In high school I worked at a grocery store, one evening on the security monitors, my coworker and I watched a man stick a package of Oreo cookies down his pants.

We were always trained that if we saw someone shoplift, we couldn't accuse them of anything unless we could identify the specific item they had, where they put it, and watch them walk out the door with it. It was a gift store in the Mall of America... we had thousands of tiny, pocket-sized items, and once someone walked out the door they virtually disappeared. We had one "customer" who came in regularly, every Saturday, and ALWAYS took something, but none of us could ever identify what it was... until one day when one of the employees was lucky enough to catch him stuffing a wallet into his sock, and then walk out the door with a rectangular lump on his ankle. We followed him across the hallway into Sharper Image while another employee called security- who then said they couldn't do anything! All we could do at that point was warn the Sharper Image employees to keep an eye on him, and their merchandise.<br /><br />I always wonder how people can have the nerve to shoplift. Not that I ever would, but I know with my luck, the second I tried it I'd get caught!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081839298172087357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-52293864974079313962011-11-06T01:10:04.059-05:002011-11-06T01:10:04.059-05:00CRAP!
