30 cans of beer stealer

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life~~

I'm overly tired but content. The store has become a funny kind of ongoing sea of routine kinds of people in there.

The shoplifters

The elderly

The parents buying for sick kids

The prescription only's

The regulars

worked with supervisor #2 last night. we watched as a young man ACTUALLY THOUGHT that he was going to carry out a box of 30 cans of beer with out us noticing!

I mean really.

Sup 2 and I just looked at each other like.'is he for real?'

2:30 a.m.
the young man stands there behind a display eyeballing us and the door. I ask him: "Do you need help with something?"

then he says, "just browsing"

Browsing??? lol. very funny. He continues looking at me from behind one of the displays in a way that suggests he's trying to intimidate me to look away so he can make his move.

I looked at my co-worker with 'that look' like

She picked up the phone and called our roving security guard.

Young dude would-be stealer suddenly left the building without his beer.
sup 2 had shut the doors(but not locked them) and we watched him leave, we were laughing because he had to manually slide the doors open and

had he stole the beer,
would've ran head first into the door. ...


The security in our store is sooooo lax.

We were discussing yesterday what we could do to stop the shoplifters.

Legally nothing. It seems as though our hands are tied. In fact, this morning when manager came in, she was more than a little pissed at our "trap" for the shoplifter. She said if anything would've happened to the guy, his family could have sued us like crazy. Or if the door would've broke, we'd be in sooooo much trouble.

so much for thinking outside the box. Build a better mousetrap me thinks...

i suggested we get to "mark" the shoplifters by shooting at them with pink paint ball guns. Then, when we call the cops, all they have to do is look for the pink painted thieves.

I think management is still thinking about it.
