Today we had a well known customer come in to the store. Well, not so much a customer as much as a thief. Occasionally she'll buy something, but she usually just tries to steal something.
So, she came in today, with two other adult women, two toddler aged girls and a baby. I watched the kids (because they were picking up all kinds of accessories and I didn't want those to walk out of the store) while two of my co-workers watched the adults.
As I'm watching the kids, one of them looks up at me and says, "Can we steal from here?"
It takes me a second to realize what she has said, and when I do, I of course tell her no.
Her eyes get really wide and she says "Why? You will call the po-lice on us?"
So I solemnly tell her, that yes, I will call the po-lice on her if she steals from me.
It's bad enough to do it with the kids nearby, but to use the kids... makes me sick.
