Today, I caught a customer using his fat to shoplift gum out of a store. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I caught and kicked a shoplifter out of my store. The shoplifter was my mom. FML
Today, I had to go to the police station after my son got arrested for shoplifting 15 packs of gum. He got away with it at first, but got busted when he tried to return it all because he "didn't like the flavor". FML
Today, I caught a grubby, evil-smelling, foul-mouthed woman blatantly shoplifting by stuffing electronics into her coat pockets, so I detained her and called the police. Less than an hour later I was fired. She was the shop owner's mother and “had permission” to just take stuff. FML
Today, I got caught stealing lollies. I am 25. FML
Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, since it's company policy, I had to go to the back of my small store to retrieve an item for a customer, even though I was working by myself. I came back to find that since she couldn't get into the cash register, she found and stole my purse instead. FML
Today, was my first day at my new job in a shop. 10 minutes after my first customer leaves I realize she managed to steal $200 worth of merchandise while she had me getting stuff for her from the back room. FML
Today, while covering lunch for the self-checkout host, I noticed a customer walking away. I smiled and said, "Have a nice night!" A few minutes later, I saw that she'd left without paying on her machine. I'd smiled and waved at a lady as she stole from me. FML
Today, I told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. FML
Today, I was accused of shoplifting, after the alarm started beeping as I walked into the store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say he tucked it into his fat folds.

What did you say to the guy when he shop-lifted the gum? How did he even do it?

It's kind of obvious. But anyways, that's pretty clever but pretty gross too.

If it was tucked in his fat rolls I would've let him take it or make him give it back and throw it out. I don't think anyone would want that gum now lol.

If I was OP I would've taken it back and thrown it in the damages bin

I would've made him pay for it, nobody wants gum that's been in his sweaty fat folds.

Why would he want to steal gum in the first place. It goes on your record. If you're dumb enough to steal something at least make it good.

Yes, because shoplifting is a new crime in this generation that nobody attempted back then.

I think they were commenting more on the stealing in fat but to each his own
FkTheWorld7 8
Everyone is commenting about how how gross it is that someone would try that, its the whole point of this post... if he was just shoplifting a normal way this probably wouldn't have been posted. Why did everyone misunderstand me...

Eh, it's alright, dude. FML posters seem to have pretty high standards and even if you were to say something logical or nice, you'd get shit for it.

Putting the whole country in the same pot, just because one person did this is not cool! Shame on you!

Having lived in UK for a while - shit like that could definitely happen on this side of the Atlantic as well. Can't blame one country.

The customer put him or herself there.

I don't feel bad for him because he was stealing. I won't comment on his weight because who knows what his situation is.
TheMarshmellow 14
I'd let him keep it at that point.
xlord 27
If that worked, almost everything would have been tucked into my undies by now.

True, but do you really wanna reach into a man's fat rolls?

I don't know about the store where OP worked, but when I used to work retail even if you catch a customer stealing, you can't physically touch them to take the item back. That's still assault. You had to confront them, and usually they'd be so embarrassed or shocked that you caught them (and scared about the consequences) that they would just give it back. I even had people go around the store and buy several things after I caught them shoplifting because they felt so guilty. If we had a runner we could call security and chase them, but to actual physically stop them would mean losing our job.

At some places (Old Navy, where I worked in high school), you couldn't even confront them. We had to be nice and pretend like we were too dumb to care. If we caught someone trying to wear a jacket out of the store, we had to act along the lines of "that jacket looks good on you! If you need a different color or size, let me know!"

One benefit of being fat:).

At least it was only a pack of gum. I know someone who had to remove a deli sandwich from underneath a man's fat saggy boob one time, at a Safeway. Now that's a horror story!!

When I was working at a Clothing Store, I had to take a $50 dress stuffed under a woman's fake boobs.
