Tesco Shoplifting - need help.

Zedicus

Generally shoplifting is a very tricky one.

It's OUR money that shoplifters steal - the cost is included in general overheads that determine the price retailers need to sell good to be profitable.

On the other hand, genuine mistakes do happen. Look at the amount of lost property the various places that handle such things have to deal with. Caused by simple forgetfulness and there's rarely any possibility of an ulterior motive (littering, small scale fly tipping?)

No you don't. You just can't admit you are wrong.

He never admits he's wrong and he never gives up until he has the last word.

He'll now respond to this by moaning that I've just joined the thread to have a go at him. (I saw no need to post on it before but he's become disruptive.)

Or complain about how much I post, or how little, or something like that. :rotfl:

The police did investigate but you've said they might have got it wrong.. Getting a bit silly now .. Should we call for dangermouse?

You're shifting the argument again!

Whether or not the police got it right or wrong wasn't what we were arguing here (although we have argued that previously in the thread)

We were now arguing whether or not the police should have been called and you seem to be saying they shouldn't be as it was an unfounded accusation I dispute that as the OP did walk out without paying for goods.

I wouldn't call the new danger mouse as he is an imposter

It's a friendly argument between posters on a forum. There is no need to try and make it anymore than that.

I don't actually remember interacting with you in this forum before so I am not sure what you mean by a lot of what you are saying. Have we disagreed before on something?

I am really questioning why you think you would be treated differently if you were wearing a suit rather than casual clothes?
Do you judge on appearance?

Many, if not most people would say no to that question, but in reality how truthful would they be?
If you are working in a shop and you see someone walk in and they are wearing rags and are a bit on the aromatic side, wouldn't it be correct to say that many people would assume that the person concerned is either homeless or extremely hard up and that at first glance they wouldn't consider that they could in fact be an eccentric millionaire?

First impressions can often be very wrong, but first impressions are still what many people rely on when making an initial judgement.

Multi-millionaire or homeless person?

The point I am trying to make is that after the event, the OP expected to be treated differently because the clothes weren't his normal attire and he had a pocket full of notes.
Shoplifting is shoplifting, providing evidence that you could have paid is not a get out clause, which is why the staff probably sniggered when the money was produced.

They didn't snigger when the money was produced - they sniggered when I mentioned I owned my own business........when the money was produced they looked shocked.

But why did you feel the need to mention the business or produce the notes?

I asked if the Police had given any indication of how long they would be as I had a business to open.

I produced the notes at the request of the Police Officer.........

He thinks changing the subject and not answering the question is a clever tactic....:D
