TO CATCH A THEIF
Now that I have retired and only work one day a week I am a People Greeter, yes this job started off as greeting people when they enter the store now we check receipts of customers when they are leaving the store.Times have changed for sure there was this time when people could be trusted and now it is where all eyes are on you with cameras in store and now you get checked leaving the store.
You come across three kind of people, one are honest and don't care if you check there receipt and the second get upset with you cause you make them think they are stealing, and the third is just stealing.
It has come to a sad time that a few can make the rest of good people feel that the times has come to no trust no matter what.
Now it has also come to the time that you just can't really know who is honest and who is not, I don't know if it is the economy and people just don't have money or is it just people that times have changed.
This is a true story
A elderly lady was coming toward me and I was thinking what a lovely sweet looking elderly woman I just know is someone sweet loving grand mother, and as she came to me I asked can I see your receipt ? she hesitated for a moment and then gave me here receipt and I looked at it but not really looking at it cause she was so honestly looking and handed back the receipt and said to her Thank You.
She took a couple of steps away then turned back to me and said.....JACK a**.....
yes sometimes you don't catch a Thief but you get another nick name

Obviously it's become a society of bad people who will rob someone blind if given the chance.
People want what they want regardless.
In my area especially at night there are a few businesses who have to have police officers come into their stores in case there is a problem with shoppers and such.
But they charge at the bulldog .
Thanks for sharing video
I guess it is just a no win situation you think
I have been with Wal Mart for 14 years and have seen so many changes. not the place I started out with.
One evening a guy tried to walk out with over thirty dollars worth of steaks but they caught him.
I believe you know me and to be a part of there logic is not really mine. as I have said I do not agree and I have to do what I believe is right for me and to leave would not be. My brother I do see what you are saying and if I was at a younger age this subject would have never came up if you know what I mean.
Thank you Non for your comment, I know you mean well I have not doubt about that
Nop, almost nobody can get through my filters lol! and no one for sure wants to know about my mother LOL!
I said: mothers, in general, not mine.
I´ll write to you so we could chat, as I said, you are a gentleman and a kind person, there is no reason we can´t talk about my theory of "mothers changing the world for better" LOL!
Now, think twice about what Non says, his passionate comment could be part of a memorable speech, definetely something you should think about my friend ....
if you asked to check my receipt, I'd say, "No Problem!"
And after, I'd give you a few clear pastic bags of weed, to impress the cameras watching you.
At a restaurant one evening, I complained to the waitress, "Hey, this soup has little bugs in it."
She answered, "Ah, they gave you the more expensive soup, the one with proteins in it. I'll just have to increase your bill for them little extras."
You have a Good day Bud
But it doesn't matter to me I show my receipt got nothing to hide, but I also feel for those that are honest and feel that this company wants to make sure they are honest. some do get very angry about this and I just try to calm the situation.
Thanks for you comment
Yes, it's part of the customer service but it does make me feel good that I give back a little for their kindness and I also consider than most of these people don't make that much from their hard work, a little bit of kindness will make them smile...an it does warm the heart to know you made someone's day even in a tiny way
here at my store if you work off the clock you can get into as much trouble as not working on the clock.
CH it is money not heart anymore
It's like they are in their own little bubble.
Thanks for your comment.
