A year or two ago, there was a video of a ‘lady’ shoplifting an entire grocery cart full of huuuuge slabs of ribs and other meat. She was putting the meat in her car trunk. If I had been an employee, I would have started taking the meat out of the trunk and putting it back in the same cart. Would have made a great video.
Back in the day, they used to let us chase the shoplifters. Myself and a few other grocery store employees were on the track team. My favorite event was the 440 yard race. Even if the shoplifter was immediately faster, after 200 yards, they would slow down considerably, and we would reclaim the merchandise.
Way fun.
Yes indeed!
I lettered in the ‘track’ team for several years too!
Team - Chathams & Farmer Jack! lol!
Would-be thieves would be carted to the back room and threatened to be thrown into the bailer..
