They just don't even try anymore.

I'm off work, and just chatting with my coworker while waiting for my friend to pick me up. A man walks in, grabs a Tecate, (which is about 15 feet away from me)

He turns to see me, asks how much the beer is. As I am telling him, he STUFFS IT IN HIS PANTS.


ME: Hey! Give it back! *as I walk towards him*
SC: *Deer eyes in spotlight, he grabs a second Tecate, and moves it forward* I put it back see!

ME: No you didnt, its in your pants! The camera saw it! *points to camera next to him*

SC: *laughs nervously* Alright, you got me... your good. Here you go. *gives it back*
ME: Get the hell out of the store!
SC: Ok...
ME: *As I'm putting the beer back, I mutter dumbass*

SC: WHAT?!

ME: I said Dumbass.
SC: You can tell me to leave the store, but you better not disrespect me. I will beat your ass.
ME: *giggle* Yeah, you disrespected first by stealing.
SC: *starting to realize that there are cameras, another customer is watching, my coworkers hand is on phone, wondering if I'm going to slam him into the cooler first, or should she call beforehand* Whatever! *leaves*

then another customer asked fifty questions about what we do about shoplifters, and come to the conclusion what I didi was wrong, and I should just him go with the beer.

he shoplifted, then lied to you, and then he threatened you.

That's a trip to the pokey in my book.

PLUS, who gets to drink the beer that has been in bubba's pants??

Yea, cause that makes perfect business sense - just let everyone take what they like as long as they're putting in a minimal effort. Your store would be out of business within the hour! Why don't customers understand that?

SC#2 is an idiot.

SC#1 was the bigger idiot, though. Who steals right in front of someone?

Honey, how do you keep your sanity with this stupidity that seems to be running rampant in your area?

I fear I may kill when I get there.
