Pointless story, but just thought I would share
So I was working at the store tonight. Walked up front to put a hand basket away by the front door and started to walk away. I happened to look back towards the door for some reason just in time to see a mid 20s guy making a beeline through the door. The weird part was that he had a ton of packaged meats on top of a ton of other groceries in his cart. In no bags. You would expect paid for groceries to be in bags right? Welp, no bags. Uh oh.
I walk quickly over to Customer Service and tell the CS clerk what I saw. Her and I both run outside and scan the parking lot. Nothing. We walk back in confused and one of the managers walks into the CS booth. We tell her whats going on. She swears he can't be gone yet with all the groceries I told her he had in no bags, so we go running out and this time check the side, dark parking lot. Aha. Just in time to see an over weight man standing guard as the skinny theif from the store throws shit into the trunk. We didn't catch the driver, but as soon, as they saw us the car started backing up and skinny theif dude has to jump inside a moving car. CS Manager gets the license plate number while I mentally not the color, make, and model of the car. That car screetched to a start and out of the parking lot so fast there was absolutely no doubt they had stolen groceries. CS manager and I quickly go in and call the local police, who sent out a patrol to try to stop them. Dunno if they did because after that I was off.
Like, wow. I have never witnessed a theft in a grocery store before, right in front of my eyes. I can't believe the guy was so obvious, and although I'm not alloud to run after them, I helped do what I could. I'm thinking skinny theif dude thought I wasn't an employee because I had a jacket on.
I hope they got caught. Fucking assholes. Our store is slow enough that we have to cut hours and lay off people. They just cost us a lot of money![]()
