Whats the point

Because, sadly, even though you think you’re doing the most helpful thing, you’re not, so therefore, your not given the credit for a good deed. Life has it’s glitches and for some stupid reason – the bad guys take all the credit.

Wine from a Supermarket??? oh please i think you mean swill or plonk…i wouldn’t clean my drains with that stuff 😮

Things have changed a lot while you’ve been away, Steve.

Oh dear, this has brought back memories of something that happened to me a while back…was in a branch of W H Smiths at a train station, innocently flicking through a magazine, when a guy came up next to me with a big sports bag, he bent down, opened the bag and cleared a pile of magazines off the shelf (not in view of the staff, mind!) and put them into his bag. He then stood up and was going to leave, but as he did, he turned to me and whispered “Tell anyone, and I’ll kill you!”…I was too scared, so I kept stum and let him walk out without saying anything!:(:o

Well done to you though for doing the right thing.:)

Nobody in shops these days gets paid enough to be a ‘have a go hero’ anymore, and let’s be honest, why risk being stabbed for a few poxy litres of vodka ?

I’ve been in that situation plenty of times, and I’d rarther risk my internal organs for something far more worthwhile…

Well done for doing the right thing,I doubt if I’d have had the guts to.I’d have been too worried about the bloke having a go at me.
As for the shop people not even bothering to thank you,well,some people are just ignorant like that,Just let it go and congratulate yourself for being a responsible citizen.

Please don’t let this one incident deprive you of your sense of civil morality – if only the rest of the public could take such action as you did!
Incidentally the till operator should have asked him to open his rucksack, as standard procedure – I hope the shop manager learned a lesson from this and will warn his staff to be more aware. My first wife was a store detective, and even when she was off duty and out shopping with me, she almost always caught someone shoplifting, just by being observant!

Well done for pointing it out – it’s thieving scumbags like that causing prices in stores to increase. No doubt he would have sold them or traded them for something to snort/inject and your observance means the useless waste of skin gets to maybe suffer painful withdrawal…

If I’d been the manager you would have got a good drinks deal 😉

Why don’t you write a letter or e-mail to the head office and tell then what you did. I must say that when I worked in supermarkets as a student, I didn’t appreciate being sent out after shoplifters either. Minimum wage versus the great unknown etc etc…;)
