Ugh.. damn you candy. You make me ill...
I went... Christmas shopping (My bank account hurts. XD) today. Which involved a trip to a number of places, Zellers, Hallmark, Blockbuster and EB games. Now... Twas an interesting trip when I got down to Blockbuster.
I'm sorry, does all the interesting and bad sides of humanity show more prominent during Christmas season?
Another blockbuster story.. I'm really glad I don't work there. |D
Ok, soooo. I'm down there, and the first thing I notice is the manager(I'm on friendly acquaintance basis with these people, by the way) is having a talk with someone, who I assume they suspect was shoplifting, yeah. The guy claims innocence and shows the contents of his pack, so they leave him be for now. Though not without him giving them crap for suspecting...
I go about my business, looking for The Lost World for nostalgia. When I get up to the clerk, he finishes up with a guy who goes through the scanner that goes off, and continues regardless. The manager follows him out, and eventually comes back. He ran off apparently. So thief number one for the day. Yup, there's more.
That last guy, who was bitching about being accused of shoplifting? He goes through just as I'm packing up the DVD I rented. Now, I'm fumbling next to the scanners, putting away the DVD when it goes off. I feel stupid for not grabbing that son of a bitch, but the instinct to not get involved was kicking in and he says it wasn't him and runs off. I also hesitated, cause I was shopping, and shopping at stores before going to blockbuster or anywhere else usually fucks with the scanners.
Turns out it wasn't me setting them off. That guy did snatch something... So they got shoplifted twice... in fifteen minutes. Heh..
As I'm leaving, I see the guy across the road and yell at him. "It's not paranoia if you're actually stealing something!" Really wish I have more of a backbone to actually take him down, but I am somewhat fearful of the homeless thieves.
tl;dr Shit happened, I didn't grab the fucker, blah blah... Gawd I feel ill.
