So I know I said I'd normally do a weekly update, but this all came from last night alone and all fall under a common theme: shoplifters. I felt sorry for our security staff having to run around like headless chooks.
That said, here we go!
How stupid do you have to be?
Upon rocking up, I wandered up to the cash office to store my laptop (my SM allows people to store their laptops either in cash office or in his office provided that you get there WELL before you start. Sometimes my bag tends to get moved from cash to managers and I OK it on the condition that they LET ME KNOW FIRST!) but nobody was there. Guess why I didn't go and ask the SM to put it in HIS office?
When I walked past, all I could see were two police officers and a few people in there plus SM. Turns out that this group had attempted to walk out with about $300-$400 worth of shopping.
I managed to hear most of it, especially when it got to the point where they were arrested and charged with theft.
Unfortunately at that point the cash office girl rocked up and my fun was over. Oh, until I had to run BACK up to get hold of my lippy which I'd left in my bag. (I keep my change of clothes in a separate bag, that bag goes into my locker along with wallet, mobile, keys and lippy)
To Be Advised
There was another incident that happened before I got there, but I don't know all the details yet, will keep you advised. Basically, it was another shoplifting attempt by another group.
The Beer That Went Flying
I'll keep this one simple and relates to an oops of mine. Lady walks past me with what appears to be an empty freezer bag. It wasn't obviously bulging, but fortunately the nightfill manager noticed and off they go! turns out there was some beer smuggled in there. Made some nice party drinks afterwards
(jokes)
Friend Of The Ass
So I've mentioned my story in one of the threads. Turns out that a coworker of mine is now friends with one of them. While I don't hate this coworker, I have been a little worried he'll do the same thing to her. I haven't exactly told her to go off and break the friendship up as it's her choice who she is friends with, but if he tries anything on her, he'll be getting both barrels...and this time I don't care if he's a State Emergency Services volunteer...
The Doom Song
So madness set in. As normal. Guess what was being sung that night?
"Doom doom doomy doom doom doom." along with variants.
Relating to the madness of it being the day before a public holiday.
That said, here we go!
