      £

      On a "colony" computer keyboard:

      Press the ALT key, then type 156 on the side keypad and release the ALT key.

      (The 'extended' code, which I think is pretty limited):

        That's 50 British Pounds, which is the equivalent of ~ US$ 100. Not horribly expensive by jewelery standards, but not a cheapie from The Silver Hut either.

          It's not your fault you didn't catch on to what they were doing.
          Ask your manager to get you trained in more types of theft prevention.

          I've never worked in jewelry before, but as a customer, I expect to be shown things one item at a time, not a tray at a time. It surprised me that you mentioned showing them the whole tray.
          If I really want a closer look at a whole tray, I get to see it through the glass panel with the employee holding it close to the top of the panel - but still with me unable to touch.

          Maybe you could start doing that?

          2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
          3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
          4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

            What I find interesting is that they only asked to see items that Songs could show them without calling someone else over. The lady had a fan of 20 pound notes, yet she didn't want to see anything over the price limit that you yourself are allowed.......interesting.

              More likely the cost to the shop was closer to (L)17. (ok, I don't know how to make a pound sign on this 'merican keyboard!)
              Like this...£

              It's one of the ALT key codes. In this case it's alt+0163. Press and hold the alt key while typing in the code and out will pop the "£"

                Only slightly suspicious, there...

                We bring out pads at a time, a total of about twenty items, because apart from a series of about 30 of them the contents are sellable by me. We also group items on pads so a customer can compare between a bunch of sapphire stuff, or multi-colour gold earrings, for instance. Our most expensive crap is stored on hexagonal pillars of which we're only allowed to take 2 out at a time - pads is 2 pads, but with both only one pillar or pad is allowed to be under the customer's nose at a time. I've seen this done in H. Samuel's too, which is F. Hinds direct rival. (I think.)

                I learnt a lot from working in a jewellery store. Tanzanite is red when it comes out the ground, and mixing aluminium with gold turns it purple.
