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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, 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 going through my daughter’s room, I found a pair of pants with the security tag still attached. My daughter is a thief. FML
Today, I caught and kicked a shoplifter out of my store. The shoplifter was my mom. FML
Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Today, I went clothes shopping. I took my little daughter into the dressing room while I tried some clothes on. She somehow managed to open the door while I was changing. A lady outside then bitched me out for "exposing" myself to her kids. FML
Today, I was in a department store with my three year old daughter to buy some new jeans. I took her into the dressing room with me and as I began to take off my pants she yells, "Mommy, you can't go peepee in here!!" I am no longer welcome in that particular store. FML
Today, I found out where all my missing panties have gone, when my 12-year-old daughter was caught selling them to the boys at school. FML

You are not her mom, that's her job to yell at her not yours.

It's not your job to parent a strange child.

Don't do her job for her by parenting her better than she can

You should just yell at the mother for yelling at you for not yelling at her daughter!
G97Alex 21
But then she would just yell at you for yelling at her for yelling at you for not yelling at her daughter.

I hope gently informed the errant parent of her responsibility...

11s comment had me confused for a sec. Yeah I hope OP didn't yell at the idiot child. The mother who can't discipline her own child has that responsibility.

Yell at her for yelling at you for not yelling at her daughter. Who at this time may also be yelling.

After a series of yelling l, usually called an argument, I would just slap the mom. Not only for raising a thief, but for expecting the employee to parent her daughter.

88s comment is very well thought out. Basically: "slap-a-bitch" Works every time.

Tell her to forgive the child. Obviously she had a good sense of judgement for returning the underwear

Future underwear fetish?
commonlogicz42 6
33 I doubt that she decided to return them all by herself, seeing as her mother escorted her to the store. I'd say tell her to teach her children better so that they aren't stealing.

I've stolen some female underwear before, but in a sexy manner.

Children are not only raised by a single family. They develop through every interaction in society. Props for using positive reinforcement.

I'm sure that the girl's mom would've yelled at op regardless whether she yelled at the girl or not. I mean, in my opinion, I wouldn't want some stranger yelling at my child...
kittykat1501 31
I stopped reading any that said anything about yelling.
hnz 13
Tell her everybody deserves a second chance.. Yelling twice is not going to help
MoodyBlue320 11
Yeah, exactly. And she did the right thing by returning them so she should be given some slack.
DjeePee 25
I don't think you're even allowed to yell at customers, even if they're thieves... Nevertheless, you should have said something different then just 'thank you', shouldn't you?
FYLDeep 26
There's nothing illegal about yelling at someone. It's really just going to come down to the store's policy and how powerful of a position the OP had at the store to determine whether or not she can get away with it.
DjeePee 25
...That's what I was trying to say. I know yelling is not illegal (like duh), but I think it's a valid reason to be fired for.

If you stole from my store and we see it we tackle you then beat you down
bizarre_ftw 22
Do you do it in a clown suit? Cuz I can seriously picture that and may I say LOL XD
death_dolphin24 0
Let me revise this: Do you tackle and beat down customers in a clown suit? I infer this because your profile picture is a clown and if you do I will laugh and make a face that looks like XD.

Yelling isn't illegal but it's defiantly something you'd get written up for or worse fired.

aw FYL that was her job!

even if you did yell at her the mom would probably yell at you for yelling at her daughter.

Too true

She probably just wanted to yell at someone.

Mmmmm should have spanked her!
TheDrifter 24
Kinky. I wonder if she wore the panties before returning them?
screamo_neve 12
I was thinking the same thing.
