And we got away with that much!
People use to try to do this scam at walmart all the time. Sometimes it worked. Out one door and in the other. Literally.
They are lucky they did not end up gator bait. But that was the “old” days.
To the same store!? That’s chutzpah.
My daughter works in the customer service area for a large home center like Walmart. She said it’s amazing what people try to get away with, and succeed.
She said some lady lied about her and was getting loud and obnoxious. She was a little miffed when the store manager gave the lady a $10 gift card even though they knew she was lying. I told her it was just GO AWAY money.
Her last day is next week. She has a new job lined up in the field she wants to make a career at.
And we got away with that much!
I’m sure they needed a quick buck for drugs or gambling.?
A woman did that at a store- Tuesday Morning - just before I stopped in a couple of years ago. The woman brought it up to the counter and got a store credit and left. When the employee went to put it back on the shelf, there was an empty slot with an identical one next to it.
She was furious but I don’t think there was anything she could do other than to file a complaint.
OTOH, a neighbor’s son got charged with shoplifting months after he stole a $1.99 t shirt - I think the tore used facial recognition software to charge him.
