    Default Interesting day at Work

    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

    what a bunch of idiots!

    when i worked at a grocery store we had one joker fill his cart with expensive meat and walk around the aisles trying to put all the stuff in bags, but he got caught on the cameras.


    They should have done what the smart grocery thieves do: fill their cart with cartons of soda pop and have the $100+ meat at the bottom of the cart, hidden

    I can't believe that, especially how he did it so obviously! He'll eventually get caught even if he got away with it this time. Karma

    It doesn't help that we also had theives get by us the night before as well (but we couldn't prove it or see it specifically, so we couldn't stop them).

    This thread makes me sad. Some people are so down and out they're stealing food....It's like a bunch of parts in "The Grapes of Wrath." *

    I used to be a night cashier at a grocery store and it was between 11:30 and 12am and the aisles were full of pallettes of things to be stocked on the shelf. A guy came ambling down the toiletries aisle, filled his shirt with razor cartridrges at $25 a pop and tried to amble out of the store.

    The manager caught and questioned him, but could not detain him... so he left. The cops were later called and the female manager had to go to his house to positively identify him. She was later threatened by him or one of his friends so she was taken off of night shift because of it. Crazy fucks. They need to go get a life.

    I can't believe people still pull shit like this even with all the cameras in place.

    Unfortunately we have cameras but for some stupid reason they don't record anything.

    I was in a store when a security guard tried to arrest a shoplifter. The shoplifter punched the security guard, so a struggle started. I pitched in to help the security guy. It turned pretty violent and the front of the store got a bit trashed before we got this guy under control.

    My abiding memory was of the store manager. Did he pitch in and help us? Oh, no. He grabbed a broom and went around after us trying to sweep up the mess we were making.

    Douchebag.
