Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML

there's no way he can deduct the cost of the shoes from your salary.....there is no way you can be held accountable for theft unless you were letting him try the shoes on right next to the exit of the store or w/e but even then, theft of store items should be reported and should be covered by the stores insurance policy.....next time, dont wither so easily under your boss and stand up for yourself......

when you are not at work, get a friend to have the boss wait on him. get the most expensive pair of shoes and run off with them on.

Is your boss expecting you to physically confront a criminal to protect his profits? Who is he, Mr. Krabs?

Way to NOT sound like a judgmental ****-stick. The fact that you had to use "redneck" in your example is what is making me respond to this. You clearly have no education for not knowing the true definition of a "redneck". You're also partially racist & uneducated by saying; "You are white aren't you." - First of all, that should be a question mark not a period, congratulations on being an illiterate, uneducated, judgmental ****-stick. Who says that rednecks are only white? Quit being stereotypical!!! You said the reason you posted that comment is because he was being stereotypical, so who says that all rednecks are only white? Practice what you preach. This is what you said; and I quote..."See how stupid making assumptions about the nature of someone who you did not see, whose race was not listed." - The person whose comment you originally replied to did not have a listed race. So, as you said; see how stupid making assumptions about the nature of someone who you did not see, whose race was not listed is? Congratulations, but you FAIL!

Wow... I'm surprised shoe stores don't have more security against this type of event. While trying on shoes, they actually ask you to walk around, sometimes outside the store, to see how they feel. Obviously you have to do this, but they don't keep track of you at all while you're doing it. It's really not your fault he got away unless you were supposed to take some kind of collateral, like a credit card, before he tried them on. FYL.

That's totally illegal. Don't let them get away with taking it out of your paycheck. They can't, by law.

That's totally illegal, and your boss is just trying to cover his own sorry ass. Try complaining higher up in the company. It's not your fault they lack security.

fake...no store will deduct from your salary because someone stole from you and them. it's illegal.. it's not as if you can just predict whenever someone might steal something...FYL for having to make shit up, at least.
