So, I got robbed today

I should probably point out that whilst the title of this post is technically accurate, it's not strictly true, and it's there to grab your attention
If you are reading this, it did
If you are not, I apologize

Anyway, I work in a shop that will remain nameless, but it is part of a chain of such shops around the Country, and at about 10 past 7 this afternoon, whilst I was making sure I hadn't made a mess of taking peoples money, someone walked in, picked up two nameless products off the shelves, walked straight past me and shouted "I'm not paying for these!" and ran out

I would have probably given chase to him had any of these following criteria been filled
1 - I didn't totally not care
2 - He'd hit me, or otherwise been abusive
3 - I got paid enough to give a shit
4 - The items in question came out of my wages

All in all, it was more amusing than annoying, breaking up my otherwise dull and uneventful afternoon

This is the second such robbery in the last month, though the time before it wasn't me behind the till

I hate my job...

Um... that's nice?

If you want people to read about and be interested in this sort of thing, you might want to get a blog.

Hmm... Sounds like a good way to steal.

 

[Curtmiester]

I'm stuck on that facted you lied to get attention...

We have a thread for crap jobs.

Somewhat entertaining, but if you had stopped him and then bragged about it to your boss, you may end up getting paid enough to care...

... Maybe. Would your boss hand out raises based on brownie points?

EDIT: I will admit, though, the fact that the guy just up and said "I'm not paying for these!" is fucking hilarious.

Yea, Thats why I haven't posted about my possible stalker.

I'm going to start doing this when I notice that the shop clerks dont care for their job.

This story made me happy but I had expected it to sadden me.

How to get free stuff:
1. Walk into a store.
2. Grab the item of your choice.
3. Walk out.

It would haev been better if he had gone like "I'll pay for this bottle of Coke and this pack of gum, but I'm taking this bottle o' wine with me."

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Sweet man... you should of yelled after him that he dropped his tampons just to see if he'd turn and look

 

[iJosh]

Lol. Owned.

I got robbed once. Kind of.

Yep.

Also, I'd have hunted them down and beat on them.
I don't give a shit if someone steals, but they'd goddamn better not do it to me.

Agreed. I'd be the cashier chasing some guy down the street.

 

[Cousin_IT]

isnt there a thread for stories of crappy stuff that happens at work somewhere?

 

[Andalusa]

10 past 7 is now in the afternoon! I always classed that time as evening, but whatever floats your boat.
Also, that's probably the best way to steal, although I wouldn't have said I wasn't going to pay for them, I would've just wandered out of the store.

You should, because it works. Similar "theft" occurred here too, at a grocery store near by, some time ago. A guy walks in, grabs a six pack(!) and walks out saying: "Go ahead, call the cops." Obviously the clerk didn´t, either because he was too dumbfounded or simply because he didn´t give a shit, which seems more likely.

Pussy. I was robbed at GUNPOINT in a BASKIN ROBBINS. Until someone threatens to shoot you, you have not been ROBBED!

I shall endeavor to attract more dangerous criminals
