At work the other day I was on my way to the managers office when something caught my eye. I girl with one of our in store shopping bags (ya know the kind that you use to hold merchandise if you don't want to use a shopping cart) FILLED to the top with purses. I then noticed another girl with one of our shopping carts with our shopping bags inside also filled with merchandise.
The first thing I thought was they are going to run out of the store with our stuff into a car waiting by the door. The girl holding the bag of purses was being overly friendly with my co-worker that was putting new purses out. The other girl was on the aisle over looking at sunglasses.
I continued into the office and told the assistant what was happening and got over our headset system telling all associates to get ready to give a description of the car they will be running into.
See we have LP in our store like once a month so of course they were not there on that day. So we all get together and start "cleaning" in the areas these girls are "shopping" in. I see one of them on their cell phone probably talking to their get away driver.
Finally after 15 minutes they give up as they notice all of the associates around them and slowly make their way to the front of the store and leave. They left the shopping cart full of our shopping bags in the lingerie department.
Inside the bags they have purses, jeans and sunglasses. We total it up and they would have walked out with $1200 worth of our merchandise
I was happy to help put a stop to their plan
