Work: Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase....

By WesJaz - 08/01/2010 16:35 - United States

Today, I was working as a cashier and a woman brought up a suitcase. As I was ringing her up I checked inside like I'm supposed to and I very jokingly say, "Look at all the stuff you're stealing." She laughed nervously then hit me in the head with her heavy purse before running out of the store. FML

Today, while bagging my groceries at a store, a lady came over to me, took a good look at the food I'd bought, picked out an item and put it in her bag. When I confronted her, she called security on me and told them I wanted to steal her stuff. I got thrown out and she walked away with a smirk. FML

Today, I was at the store when I saw that a cart in the checkout line next to me was starting to roll away and the owner hadn't noticed. I tried to help by reaching out to stop the cart from moving, but when the owner saw me with the cart, she began to hit me for trying to steal her purse. FML

Today, at work, an elderly lady came up to the cash register with a flyer in her hand, and asked if we had a certain item. I told her we did not have any left, and we would be getting more next week and if she wanted, I could give her a rain check. She hit me in the face with her purse. FML

Today, at work, an old lady came through my line to buy some groceries. She told me she lost her purse and was a little short. It was busy, so I pulled out my little purse and gave her the money she needed. A few minutes later she returned with my boss, insisting that my purse was hers. FML

Today, since it's company policy, I had to go to the back of my small store to retrieve an item for a customer, even though I was working by myself. I came back to find that since she couldn't get into the cash register, she found and stole my purse instead. FML

Today, I went for a job interview. Before giving me a tour, the manager pointed to my purse and said, "Better leave that in my office." I didn't know why it was safer in her office than on my shoulder, but I complied. Later, I went to buy coffee and discovered that all my cash was missing. FML

Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, I was at the supermarket when an elderly lady asked if I'd grab some coffee for her from a high shelf. The moment I took my hands off my almost-full shopping cart, she made off with it. I ended up getting thrown out by security after she claimed I was trying to steal it from her. FML

Only certain items set off the alarms on the way out. Not everything has a security device in it. At least not where I'm from.

Store security blows if she was able to fill a suitcase. She is a complete moron for not stuffing the stuff in her pants like every other thief.

It doesn't say the woman stole anything. It says the cashier was joking with the customer. Learn to read.

Yeah, but not in the suitcase. She was apparently shoplifting stuff in another way, such as the very heavy purse.

Well you'd think since the lady just laughed nervously, hit OP in the head with her purse, and ran out of the store that she'd stole something, since OP basically confronted her about it so she knew she was caught so she high-tailed it out of the store.

Too bad you'll never get to use them. No one likes a thief.

It happens, unfortunately for yourself, you were a bit too far behind your own realisation and your light-heartedness got you a blow to the head. Yet, you prevented a theft (I presume), so give yourself a pat on the back.

I hate it when nerds on the computer try to correct people, no one gives a ****. It's the Internet not school. Deal with it. Freaks.. and I don't really get your post. It didn't make any sense. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

"Nerds" on computers correct people because it's annoying that other supposedly English speaking adults can't comprehend common spelling and grammar. Words are only meaningful because of their specificity. If we were only meant to get the gist of things we could just point and grunt. Also, I feel very sorry for you that you think school is the only place where competence is valued. Clearly this attitude has paid off, because simple reading comprehension was beyond your ability.

well you shouldn't stereotype that everybody that speaks English knows it perfectly. some people had to drop out of school for good reasons before fully embracing the language, now I'm saying they are those who didn't drop out due to their own arrogance, but please don't correct somebody when you don't know their story or educational background because one subject does not show their full knowledge capacity.

I'm with you there but it annoys me when someone says stuff like "u r and y" on the Internet. Especially when it's able-minded people that are too lazy just to type a couple extra letters in a word.
