I’m trying to figure out if they offered payment when the mistake was apparent?
Why couldn’t they pay instead of going through all this or did the manager refuse the money?
They had just paid for groceries, so it doen’t seem like they were trying to steal?
Yeah they offered to pay but the store “manager” had to make a federal case out of it
I was wondering... while the couple was putting their groceries on the conveyer belt if the manager had approached them and asked, “Did you eat an item during your shopping trip?”... that could have shown their true intent. If they said, “Oh my goodness, yes we did. We had two sandwiches” then they forgot. If they said, “Nope, not us”.. then they were lying. One simple sentence/question from the manager could have prevented such a controversy. IMHO.
