[QUOTE="Star*, post: 196820, member: 4964"] Ok - even I fell out of the chair at the dented can story - MUST remember that. Thanks Witz - And Marg - The only customers IN the store at the time were in line - You're right - she WAS trying it on. lol (like that too) Abbey - I had a customer yesterday tell me they did NOT want a can (small) of Vienna sausages. I put it on top of my register. About mid day the manager came over to me and began talking about some of the ways to "catch" shop lifters. Now you, me and the rest of the board will agree that for minimum wage - I'm NOT jeopardizing my life for a TracFone, kleenex or can of tuna. I'm not chasing anyone down - (although thoughts of doing that are appeasing to me) - Big scary 240 lb. woman, running after you like a pit bull could cause serious damage - but NO - not for minimum wage. And the manager and I are talking about this and I told her flat out - I'm not chasing anyone down - too dangerous. She agreed. Then she asked "What is that can of sausages doing on your register?" and I said "Oh I was in girls fast pitch in my younger days and I can nail mostly anything with a ball, but since we didn't sell any balls should a thief decide he wanted to run out of the door I'd grab my Vienna sausages and nail him in the back of the head as he left the store, rendering him unconscious and THEN get some nylon or cotton rope out of the housewares aisle and tie him up like a calf while waiting for the police and IF I felt "giving" I could go to the Pharmacy aisle and get a hot/cold pack for the KNOT on the back of his head caused by the sausage pitch." My manager looked at me and said (straight faced) "Do you have a receipt for those sausages? If they leave the store under your watch you're responsible." And we BOTH got a good howl. Ten minutes later I got the assistant manager to ring me up for the sausages and keeping with store policy I taped the receipt for employee purchase to the can. The manager came up to my register, saw the recepit taped to the can and said "Girl you are going to go far in this company!!." So yes, if you hear of someone being nailed in the head with an employee purchase can of Vienna Sausages - It WAS ME." :raspberry-tounge: Exchange a baked potato for a pickle?
