People keep on stealing stuff!
A few day ago I had a guy run out with what I guess was a drill of some kind. Before I could approach him, though I had made movement to greet him like I do when someone comes by my register, he grabbed the drill out of the basket he had and ran.
It took my a few seconds as he was running out to realize what was happening and I only managed a feeble "sir" as he apparently got on a vehicle on the side of the store and fled.
Then today, I was talking to another associate when I noticed a guy running from the direction of the returns entrance and I did think it was odd, but he didn't have anything in his hands and he could have been trying to get somewhere in a hurry for other reasons.
Not five minutes latter though, while the two of us were still talking, this guy with an obvious bulge in his sweater walks through my entrance and makes the alarm go off. I again, try the feeble "sir", made meek by how he seemed to ignore the alarm, our presence, anything that wasn't him making his way out of the store.
Then I here someone else "Sir!" with more authority and one of the office guys comes around from the returns entrance after the guy and out of sight. He came back after having followed the guy up until her crossed the street to the neighboring store's parking lot at which point he couldn't follow him. He mentioned that his buddy had left before him from the other entrance and it clicks what I had actually witnessed earlier.
Messed up. I really want to yell "Look at your life, look at your choices" which is an internet meme and thus meant to be humorous, but it is also accurate. I feel if I can't run after these low lifes, I should at least get to tell them what shitty individuals they are.
