I had 3 woman come in the attempt to steal, they send their kids to distract. Seeing as I don't fall for this crap, I ignore the kids. This is very common, I think this is so low. These are the people who will be in that cycle and make it hard of those of us who actually work and have to pay more because of them. The kids will think stealing normal. Sorry, but if you have an animal, yet your kids are wearing newer and name brand clothes I have no pity on you. One lady today expected a discount because she was on welfare. I stood there and just stared at her thinking are you serious lady. She opened her wallet and she had more money than I have in my bank account (and savings). If someone comes in and was honest and you know, one lady came in and even showed her bills, she gives up things for her animals and even would accepted the expired food.

I love the stories my daughter would come home with. One time a guy was so high he stood and tried to chew off the magnetic security hook that was on the abreva medication. Then there was one that just out right put on the Raven's clothes the store was selling at the time thinking no one noticed her.

Its so sad, I see it in Walmart all the time. I use to work at a coffee shop for a number of years, so we never really saw things like this.

People steal all the time where I work. We are not supposed to try to stop them. I am always finding empty packages on the shelves. It is ridiculous.

I have found that as well, I guess its putting yourself in danger. My boss told me not to do anything, really nothing you can do but he can write that off.

Its the mentality of some people to do such deeds, even if they have enough. Its in their blood to be that mean and miser. You just do your job and keep safe your things Happy mylotting

I think you have a point, some just do this for that thrill not for the actual item, or needing it.

These women are sick, to use their kid to distract you, so they can steal in your store, you did the right thing by, not paying any attention to these evil kids, these parent should know they are, setting up their kid to steal from people, when they get older, that a shame, these parent should be locked up.

I dont think they really care, they are only thinking of right now, not their kids future. Its very sad, and I guess this is part of society that will never change.

Oh fer cryin' out loud! To come around stealing with their kids!! Oh brother! Yes, My husband is a truck driver and he said he saw a lady in a veRy nice car, with lots of nice rings on, leafing through her credit cards and money, and dug out about three "quest" cards (that's food stamps around here, I don't know if that's what's used all over or not). I'll tell ya, she's definitely not supposed to have three or four of them! And it sounds like she was well off! If you're going to steal I guess you might as well steal from everyone!

Yeah, everyone wants a deal, and they all think they're special.

They do, sadly most companies are loosing business. They wont give out any discounts, or deals because of people like this. One lady ripped the bag and goes I deserve half off (I watched her rip it - there is two layers in most bags). I go let me see, I put it behind the counter and got another one, said I would send it back to the supplier for the money back, she stood there with a stupid look on her.

I know from my own experiences in my life that things really can get quite difficult at periods during our lives. However, it doesn't matter how difficult that things might get, I don't feel like it is ever acceptable to steal. Now I will admit that I wouldn't be above asking for donations if our family was again going through a really tough time in our lives, but I wouldn't consider stealing if I was told that I couldn't be given a donation. That said, I tend to think that kids are worse for stealing than adults are.

Yeah stealing is so wrong. It is sad that parents teach their children these types of things. It will only lead them to a world of trouble. I think that some people have to remember that having animals is a lot of responsibility. If they can't support themselves then they should not have or be buying more pets.

Oh, I hate this, too, when people are using their kids for stealing or any other criminal activity. The kid might not even know why they are doing what they do, and also, they would think stealing is normal, as you said, because mommy does it... I actually despsise using any people to get what you want. That's so low and disgusting. When I was working as a sales assistant (kind of in retail), I've had my share of the idiotic customers who demanded discounts. My biggest pet peeve was that when people thought just because we had a counter/kiosk in the mall, we were like counters/kiosk in the district-side market and they had the right to ask for a discount or bargain. I mean, do you ask for a discount when you go to H&M or Zara? No. We were just like them, just we didn't have a shop building. Oh, and people asked for bargains if they bought 2 of our products on 2 different days, because they are "regulars". No, you are not a regular if you buy 2 scarves on 2 different days just to get a discount. Most of them really were wealthy, one even asked me to clasp her newly bought full-beaded Pandora charm bracelet on her wrist o_O...

That is low. And sick for even using kids in their evil schemes. I hate people who take advantage of other people and then have the audacity to complain about how life for them is tough. Why can't they fight fair and get everything they need by working hard like the rest of us. We do not just pick money from the trees.
