That was a new one for me.

It was extremly busy around 1:00 am today. I dealing with a bunch of customers, when one young guy came in, and stood by the door. I kept a half eye on him, and more at the group of teens that are hanging by the wine shelf area. (Which is right by the chips/peanutes area too).

Now, for the upcoming Valentines day, we are selling bigass cards. Really big. Like two feet tall, two feet wide, opens to four feet wide cards. They run for 5.99.

I see at the corner of my eye the young man glance at me, then grab and walk out. I tried to see what but he was too fast. I deal with all the customers in the store, and look over the camera.

He grabbed the big ass valentines day card. Just one. He walked in, grabbed it, then walked out.

I showed M when he came in this morning, and he laughed.

we never ever had such a strange thing stolen. I mean, I've had a bag of garbage stolen from me, but ... those cards? Why? Why steal one of those?

"Why? Why steal one of those?"

Well, if you're going to steal someone's heart, you need to practice.

Sheldon, tht was corny, not up to your usual standards.

But corny is Sheldons usual standard....

That is an odd shoplifting item though. Love isnt supposed to be free!!!

Ha, true! Plaidy, I could NOT handle your job. Thieves tick me. I'd be angry all the time.

It won't be long before someone devises a card that comes with its own Mariachi band.

[Anakah]

Think it was a dare?

How about "stealing gives him a heart-on"?

[Plaidman]

Think it was a dare?

Hmm. It's possible. Rather stupid dare. The area my store is in, they wouldn't do that. TYPICALLY. They be stealing beer. Especally since after I've racked my head up before, I finally remembered where I've seen him a few times. Just a normal teen that comes in and shouts out swisher sweet, has money in hand. Screams, (Then leaves) because he never has his ID, and we're the only place in the entire world taht would dare card him.

How about "stealing gives him a heart-on"?

There's the Sheldonrs we love!

[Kristev]

But how can he think he'll impress the girl, if he doesn't give her the full story of how he rescued this card, just for her, despite mere seconds from closing time, and with his very last dime, and how he had to fight off a dozen boys who wanted the card. And the staff who tried to stop him. And the cops. And the . . .

Nothing says romance quite like stolen merchandise.

That sounds like a segment of the "Lowered Expectations" skits that were popular years ago on MadTV.
