I was all set to get home after working out, running and going to the grocery store. I challenged my team to a booking challenge which included beating me in bookings! Usually at the store I do self check and get out of there. Well for some reason last night I went through an actual line. There were two ladies and a baby in front of me. Come to find out it was mother, daughter and grandson through their conversations. The daughter started putting items on the belt but left SEVERAL items in the bottom of the cart. I figured the mother was paying for those and didn't put my stuff up on the belt. Well as soon as the cashier started bagging stuff the daughter was throwing bags on top of the stuff in the cart. I'm not talking a few items, the entire bottom of the cart was covered with items!
As the daughter was paying for the stuff the mom started pushing the cart out but the cashier realized they had a box of diapers below the cart and a large toy push car in the cart that the ladies didn't pay for. It was funny to hear the daughter play it off as if she forgot!! So they paid for those two items and took off. As I stepped up to the register I told the clerk that she better call security. It did take a while but they managed to catch the ladies at their car. They said they didn't have a receipt for their stuff. Of course this meant I had to wait around the store to talk to the officer myself (yah on my side of town they have officers at the store all the time!).
I was seriously ill and sick to my stomach to think they would try to do that. I don't condone shop lifting but trying to hide one or two items but they blatenly had a ton of items sitting in plain sit in the cart and tried to get away with it! The officer even told me that he reviewed the security tapes and these ladies were going to be a lot of trouble!
I did actually manage to make it home to make 30 minutes of calls and got one booking!
