When I worked at a grocery store, nearly every day I’d find perishable items like expensive cuts of meat and seafood or frozen items placed on shelves where for some reason or another, the shopper decided that they didn’t want the item after all, so instead of walking a few feet and putting it back where it belonged, I’d find the item, often hours after it had been abandoned on a shelf of cereals or canned goods or sometimes sitting on the floor. Of course those items couldn’t be returned for sale and had to be placed in the “spoilage” area to be inventoried and written off as a loss. And who do you think pays for that loss? You and I do.
Why not just stuff the items down your pants and walk out of the store without paying for it? The end result is just the same.
If I’m treated like CRAP by some Obama-lover running a store, who suckers me to spend an hour shopping, just to find out that I have no way to carry my stuff, tough luck.
As to you (or others) working there - if you work for that guy, you should quit, otherwise you’re part of the problem.
