ok people first post, been reading this for a long time and finally think I have enough stories to qualify so here goes
What do you call someone who steals
ok so first thing first, a bit of infomation, I work at a club, it's a rather nice one. In the cafe we have all of our wine choices displayed in a cellar like wall-thing (can't exactly remember the term but think about the massive wine cellars in old-schoolish places and it looks like that only smaller) this not only looks pretty cool but allows the guests in the club to view our wine choices, to pick them up and read the labels, year etc the cellar-thing is in full view of the cafe staff and has several security camera pointing at it but we still sometimes have a problem with morons being "smart" enough to think they can steal the wine and when we catch them we get the usual assortment of pathetic excuses such as "oh I thought they were free"
or "it was given to me by an employee" usually these people are banned from the club and are charged for the wine they stole.
However, one friday night while doing a floor run I catch a group of young girls stealing the wine red-handed and gave them a bit of a talking to
traditional Key
Me: yours truly
SC: The group of girls and their elective "diplomat"
DM: Duty Manager on for the night
So I walk out of the back room of the bar (into the cafe just a few metres from the Wine-Wall) and see the girls giggling and puting a few bottles of wine in their handbags and holding a couple in hand.
Me: Excuse me? what do you think you're doing?
SC: oh..um..we were just choosing some wines
Me: The bar is right around the corner, you'll have to go to the bar to buy the bottles.
the girls who had the wines in the handbags quietly shift their bags out of my sight
SC: oh ok then thank you!
I follow them around the corner to the bar out of suspicion and naturally they don't take the bottles in the handbags out for purchase
I tell the bartender to wait and ask the girls to open their handbags
the girls do and sure enough they've stuffed two bottles of wine in the bags.
SC: What!? how'd these get in here!?
(pages DM and security)
Me: I'm going to have to ask you wait here until the manager arrives
SC: Why? we've done nothing wrong
at this point one of the other girls walks up to me and whispers that she'll give me $50 if I let them go (you just stole two $23 bottles of wine, for $50 you could've just bought them you dumb cow)
Me: Sorry I'm not going to risk my job by letting you steal while I'm in full view of several cameras and my co-worker
SC: Steal!? are you calling me a THIEF!?
Me: well what do you call someone who steals?
SC: I want to speak to your manager!
Me: I paged him a little while ago when I found the bottles and he should be here momentarily.
SC: You have no right to accuse me of stealing!
DM and security turn up and the DM asks me what is wrong, I tell him I found 2 bottles of wine in the girls handbags when I asked them to open it. DM pages security offices and has them search the wine-wall footage of the last few minutes and confirms they stole the wine
DM: would all of you mind passing me your membership cards?
they reluctantly hand over their cards and the DM pockets them
DM: we do not tolerate theft of any kind here, all of you are banned from the club permenantly and we'll have security escort you out
SC: I'm going to complain about all of you! I'm never coming back to this club ever!
DM: I know ma'am, I'm going to make sure of it
Security escorts the cursing women out of the club and I never saw them again...natually
The Antics of the Drunk
ok this one didn't happen to me but to a co-worker of mine (I was on holiday at the time
)
on busy nights the floor people have to go into the toilets to check for bottles, messes, broken glass, passed out people, you know the usual. So my co-worker walks into the male toilets and finds a small crowd around one of the toilet cubicles (wtf right?) so he moves into the crowd to see what all the commotion is about and there's a guy sitting on the toilet, taking a dump while a girl is going down on him
so he quickly runs out of the toilet and grabs security who promptly kick both out
as weird as that be, apparently the back story behind it, from the point of a guy using the urinal is that the guy, blind drunk, stumbled into the toilet, didn't lock or even close the door before proceeding in his business and then the girl, who had never met the guy and was even MORE blind drunk, stumbled in, saw the guy and got interested and it happened from there...crazy right?
