I took my younger 2 kids to the thrift store, while my husband took our oldest son to his appointment. All was going well until the end of our trip, when I noticed 2 kids (looked to be 8-10 years old) playing alone in the toy aisle.
I didn't pay them much attention, and my kids and I went to the next aisle over. Then something landed behind my daughter, and I noticed the kids were throwing metal tipped darts, and that was what had landed behind my daughter. I told them, "Hey you do not throw darts in the store." One of the kids cringed, and they put the darts way, but continued to destroy the toy aisle. We saw them later running unsupervised all over the store.
When my husband and son came to pick us up, he said a lady walked out of the thrift store and approached him. He asked if he could help her, and she told him she just had a pacemaker put in (not sure why she was at the thrift store then) and needed a ride back home. My husband asked where she was trying to go and she said Kentucky (we're in Cincinnati). We weren't headed that way and didn't have room in our car anyway, so he told her sorry but he couldn't help her out. So then she asked him for $8 to pay someone as gas money for a ride. He didn't have any cash (we rarely carry any), so he told her no again. She left, went back in the thrift store for a minute, came back out, smoking a cigarette, got in an SUV (that looked like it had been in an accident or multiple accidents, because the passenger side was beat to hell) with some guy and they drove off.
