This is a sighting and case of being mistaken as an employee.
So I was at a craft store (not the one I used to work at) because they were having a sale on yarn and I was all out after the storm. This woman looked really confused, so I gave her some help in matching yarns and hooks (hook sized are recommended, but not everyone's stitch is the same, so I just had to see a couple of stitches and I picked out her hook.) I see how she could have mistaken me as an employee. She asked me if it was my day off and I said I didn't work there, she said ok. However, she preceded to ask me where stuff was and how much stuff cost...
Now onto the part where she was sucky to both me and the actual store employee (my friend)
SC and I walk up to the register from different angles at the same time. I fairly get there first, but it looks like she only has one thing. She gives me the nastiest look.
Me: Decided against the yarn? Since you only have one thing you can go in front of me.
SC: (Sarcastically) Why THANK YOU! (nasty look. I just shrug. Whatever bitch. I wanted to talk to my friend anyway. I later found out this was a common SC)
The SC puts her one item on the counter and then...oh wait! There's more! She starts pulling crap out of all her pockets. She must have had over thirty items. Stuff was stashed in her pants pockets, shirt pocket, vest pockets, coat pockets, inner coat pockets, and purse. WHO DOES THAT! I actually said:
Me: Wow, I can't believe you put stuff in your pockets. You know, there're baskets for that kinda stuff. Makes you look a little less like a shoplifter.
What if she had forgotten something? Or, now when they look at the tape, they'll see her stuffing crap in her pockets, but now there's reason to believe she paid for it. Later found out this was her plan. They checked the receipt to the tape and found that she had left with pricey jewelry makings, some expensive pens, calligraphy ink, and one dollar bin item (she probably just forgot about this one. No reason to not pay for it) She must have gotten away with $60 worth of stuff and is now banned from the store.
