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.

Yell at the mother for raising a thief - then ban both from the store for life. Nobody wants shoplifters where they work, unless of course your job is keeping people locked up in jail.

I love it when parents expect the world to conform to their own personal parenting approach.

you should have told the bitch that SHE was the mother, not you. That's her job.

Call the cops. The child will get nothing but the bitch of a mom will get in trouble.

And if you HAD yelled at her, the mother would have lost her shit with you.

Some people you just can't win with. I've seen plently of crazy customers, and I've never actually worked in retail...

Exactly, but at least this way op's ass is covered Mother: excuse me manager, your employee did NOT yell at my child! Manager: o.O okay....? Mum: aren't you going to do anything?! Manager: no...... Mother: dumbass!! *storms off, gets in car and follows daughter, complains to daughter about a yellow light, rear ends her on the next one* The End

Clearly the mom has something large stuck up her... nose. You should have politely told her to remove it before criticizing somebody for expecting her to do her job as a mother. Double points if you're able to use big words that confuse the woman (I'm assuming she's some sort of trash-mother as she expected a stranger to discipline her kid...)

Who the hell steals underpants? Oh, and FYL. The mom should've done the yelling. Good for you for not making a big ass commotion in the store like she wanted.
