    I don't steal: Gimmee free stuff!

    So at our front door is a little buzzer. I'm sure everyone knows that small stores have it. The little DING or BING or whatever that sounds off when you walk into a convience store. This also cause a very loud and annoying, though short BUUUUUUUUUUZ in the cooler, so that clerks know when someone comes in while stocking.

    Well ours is getting a little old, and due for a replacement. Sometimes it doesn't buzz off. I'm the back, stocking when I hear a loud EXCUSE ME from someone who walks into the cooler, nearly giving me a heart attack. Its a customer who has been waiting for TWENTY minutes. (Which after checking the tape was only four minutes but whatever...).

    I say I'm sorry, we go out to ring him up. At which point he tells me...

    "You know I could have stolen everything in here and you'd never know. I could taken all the money. Since I'm so honest, you should give me this stuff for free"

    ME: "Uhh... no sorry man. I'm happy you did the right thing, but I can't give stuff out like that"

    SC: But I could have just taken it. I shouldn't have to pay for it. You should reward me!

    ME: ...... I can't dude.

    SC: "Not even a discount!?

    ME: .... No.

    SC: .... Whatever. I could have taken it. Maybe next time I will.

    ME: Maybe next time I'll call the police.

    SC: ..... *leaves*

    Of course I check the tape. He wasn't in very long. And he didn't take anything.

    I could have stolen so since I didn't why don't you put your job at risk?

      We had the same dealio at the gas station I worked at. But if I was in the bathroom or in the back room getting more soda or stuff to stock, I wouldn't hear it. It didn't make people very happy.

      And yes, I heard that stupid "I coulda stole something and you wouldnta noticed it!" spiel before.

      Maybe I wouldn't have, but the camera would have. And the owners of the store watched those videos.

        Yep, in our new a moralistic society people ACTUALLY expect to be rewarded for doing the right thing.

        Technology is nice, but I prefer the old days when doing the right thing was to be expected, not rewarded.

            I had someone like this when I worked at IKEA. I accidentally rang through only one item, forgetting to hit the quantity key for three items. It was a new and particularly expensive item so the price of one vs. three didn't register with me.
            The customer said she deserved a discount for not stealing the other chairs. On what planet, lady?

                Yeah, and when you do steal that stuff you can have a FREE ride in a police car, dingus.

                  I actually wouldn't consider this stealing on her part, if she had missed what you did. If my total came out less than what I'd expected, I'd assume I'd missed a sale sign and happily accept karma's gifts. Obviously, she was a brat about it. But I don't think it would be considered stealing, since she wasn't trying to cheat you.

                    People get rewarded for being complete douches. I guess this makes them think they should be extra-rewarded for not acting like that all the time.
                    Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

                      Yeah... How many places don't have cctv these days? Here in Yurop we are pretty much infested with them, there are no many places without cctv anymore, so even if you did steal, we would catch you. What a nutjob.

                        the store I work at has 75 cameras just on the outside of the store, and has over 30 registers, obviously all having a camera on them

                        so I would guess a total of about 200 cameras on the premises, and they don't have the LP to watch all those cameras, and my company doesn't take LP seriously. last time they took inventory there was almost a million dollars gone
