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.

The weirdos and assholes always show up when we're on the clock and can't do anything about it! The only time I've ever seen or heard about a private citizen doing something about these degenerates is when a guy caught some woman attempting to smuggle things from Wal-Mart out of her purse, and filming it on his cell phone. Raised a big ruckus and the woman ended up accidentally leaving her SSN card, though she might've stolen that, too. I'm ready to hear about some more happy endings, though I realize FML isn't the place to find 'em. It's not just on FML, either, but hundreds of other horror stories I've heard and experienced in retail. Even so, where should I go to find and read some?

Yea I agree, with my store we pretty much get to watch them walk out the store and tell them to have a nice day !(no wonder people come in and steal things !!) I've heard about our other stores in the area that had 5-6 kids come in and all leave with carts full of stuff!!!
