Well, it pays to fight crime! At my work, we have a shoplifting provention program. For every shoplifter you catch, they reward you with a $25 gift card of your choice from about 30 different stores. If the shoplifter is prosecuted, they give you a $50 gift card as a reward. Well, about a month ago I caught two guys shoplifting some caugh medication. The older of the two was prosecuted, so I got a $50 gift card to TRU for it. The younger guy wasn't prosecuted, but I still got another $25 gift card to K-mart for it. So, today I took my cards and dove 60 miles to Fargo to see if I could find anything to spend them on. Here is what I came home with:  I've been wanting the Build-an-interview set for some time, just really didn't want to spend money on 4 figures that are all pretty much useless in my collection. But, since there wasn't anything else of interest and with the buy 1 get 1 50% sale, I figured now was the time to get them. However, my stupid self misplaced the reciept so now I can't send these in for another COO HHH. It's ok though, I already have 1 incomming..... Headed down to K-mart and found a fresh case of B19. Already had Mahal and passed on Hornswaggle, Bourne, and Orton. I didn't realize either until I got home that the check out lady never gave me back my gift card. There was still $2.23 on it. It's not much, but still kind of irks me off a bit.  |

You couldn't of got like... xbox games or something? Instead you bought some midcarder basic figures? Oh well, to each their own. Good job catching those guys stealing drugs. Hope that guy didn't have a bad cough.

Do you actually get physically involved or just point them out to security.
A while ago there was a story in the news about a guy who lost his job for stopping a shoplifter. It was against store policy.

Snitches get stiches, bro.
Just saying.
(I'm joking by the way. Great job. I think.)
P.S. How old was the man trying to get his cough medicine kick?

I really like that interview set, I wish it came with figures I even remotely wanted. That's badass you got it for free...and you got to take down some ne'er-do-wells....double bonus!

I worked at one for almost 20 years and caught about 3 guys, (one of them the guy kept coming back within a 2 month span at least 8 times) The guy threatened to slit my throat but as you can tell, that didn't happen. Kiddies, don't do heroine.  |
