    Default Mad at myself!

    So today I ran to town and my youngest son and I decided that we should go for Chinese for lunch. We got the buffet to go so we could bring it home to my husband and middle son. While filling my container I noticed these young girls filling a to go container too. As we were leaving I paid for my 3 buffets, and walked out behind these two girls. They were in front of me, which is weird because they were behind me entering the resturant, and they kept looking back and laughing. Then it dawned on me, they didn't PAY for their meal. What the hell?! What makes you think that's even ok? They got in the car with their mom that was driving and they were all laughing about it. I failed. Normally I would go tell the owners or something what happened but I felt like, well, it's too late now they just drove away.

    I'm mad at myself for not realizing what they were doing sooner and calling them out on it.

    sigh

    Well you are not restaurant security, it isn't your job to protect their business. At least you noticed it eventually which is more than you can say about the people who are actually supposed to be paying attention to their customers.

    I'm with Trem... unless you are a friend of the owner or something I really don't see what the point of getting strangers in trouble is.

    Because its WRONG, and they'll continue to do bad things unless they are called out on it.

    Just cause you can get away with something doesn't make it right.

    sorry, but this is a touchy issue for me. When I was in college a fellow student plagiarized my work almost word for word. And then, she blamed it in ME when I ratted her out for it. Luckily the prof was smart and new it wasn't me. But still-just cause you can get away w something doesn't make it ok. And stealing is wrong, plain and simple and they should be punished for it. What if they go on and steal from you in the future when it could've been stopped?

    A friend of mine suggested that I go back to the resturant this week and just let them know what I saw, that way maybe they'll be more diligent in watching people in the future.

    Because it's WRONG! I don't care if they're strangers or friends, I'd still do something about it.

    You're mad because you didn't notice not because you didn't do anything. There is a big difference between those two things.

    There's nothing that can be done about it now. The buffet owners are likely aware that this is a possibility and have their own system in place for watching and making sure it doesn't happen - obviously nothing is foolproof though. You going back and telling them you saw someone steal from them a few days ago isn't going to change anything, yanno?

    If I had noticed in the store, then I definitely would have told them.
    BUT you didn't notice until you got out and the girls had gone away. You know that you would have done the right thing if you had the opportunity. But how were you supposed to know?
    I do think it's the job of the restaurant owners and employees to look after things like that themselves however it is very nice of you to be the type of person who would tell the employees if you knew something like that was going on. But don't beat yourself up about it!!
