Money, Capitalism and Miscellaneous: Thick as thieves

Thick as thieves

By blovesg - 07/04/2009 00:41 - United States

Today, I was at the mall shoplifting when a girl who looked my age pointed to a shirt I had in my bag. "Stole that, huh?" she asked smiling. She looked pretty cool, so I nodded and asked if she stole the jeans she was wearing, which were from the same store. Turns out she didn't, she's the manager. FML

Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML

Today, a woman and her daughter came into the store I work at. The girl placed a pair of underpants on the counter, and confessed she had stolen them earlier. Assuming she had already heard a lecture, I simply thanked her for bringing them back. Her mom yelled at me for not yelling at her. FML

Today, I was shopping at a store from which I had previously bought a shirt. The clerk accused me of trying to steal my own shirt and called security. They examined it and argued with me for so long I was late to work. FML

Today, while I was shopping, I spotted a lady who had the last of an item I wanted in her cart. She went off to the dressing room, so seeing my opportunity, I went and grabbed it from her cart, and put it in mine. I hadn't noticed her bratty-ass daughter next to the cart, who then yelled, “I saw that! Mommy! Some lady's stealing from your cart!” FML

Today, while walking around the local thrift store, I noticed an attractive guy watching me and following me through the aisles. As he followed me to my car I was sure I would get his number. He then asks me to bring my purse inside as I had been tagged as a shoplifter. I work at the store. FML

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. 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, 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 was shopping with a friend. We snuck into the same fitting room so we could give our opinions on each other's clothes. The suspicious saleswoman knocked on the door and asked how many people were in our room. I quickly answered, "It's OK. She's just watching." FML

Wow... YDI, through and through. Shoplifting is bad enough. Telling someone is even dumber. And telling the manager- you didn't see the name tag? Come on man, you're doing it wrong.

#133 If someone steals to SURVIVE I can try to understand. But I'm talking about stealing food and stuff like that. Stuff you NEED. Stealing just to look like everyone else? Grow up. Doing stuff just because others also do it is just stupid. Live your own life.

I clicked YDI immediately on reading "shoplifting". You are a dumbass.

What, shop-lifting and then admitting it to someone who just randomly came up to you? You utterly deserved that one. Smooth move. Sounds like it was your first attempt at stealing? Let's hope its the last. Next one might land you in jail~ That'd be a fun living! Acting like a customer for a place you work at and asking others if they're shop-lifting just to see if they are. Sounds exciting, haha!

Uhh... slow? "Today, I was at the mall shoplifting..." Stop. Who starts a sentence like that? Shoplifting doesn't make you cool. I guess you didn't get the memo. I'm letting you know, for future reference. :)

whoever compares stealing clothes from a store where the people who work there probably get paid 8 bucks an hour to stealing music from artists who probably make over 300k a year is a moron
