Customer brings a small carrying case to my line. It's zipped up and while it was never explicitly stated in any of my training, I opened it up and looked inside. There I found another carrying case that was just a few dollars more.
"Ma'am, did you know this was in here?"
Blank stare. She's not exactly surprised but she's not denying that she thought it was in there either. She mutters that no she didn't know it was in there and I take this case out and open it. Now if I had just found the carrying case, I would have shrugged it off as a simple mistake. But inside the second carrying case were two Nintendo DS games.
All of these things were on clearance but the point is the store would have only made money on one of those items and it was the carrying case that was marked lower than the stuff inside of it.
I'm not accusing the customer herself of doing this, but after I rang up what she intended to pay for I made sure the MOD knew the register I was at and what time it was so she could inform the loss prevention officers.
