Copy and paste b/c I am teh lazy:

I was robbed the other day...sorta. When I think about a robbery, I don't think about what happened to me. You see, it was another day at work, sometime in the afternoon. Two guys in their twenties enter my store, wanting to return a Ps3 system, the games that he had bought and a controller: all were open. Store policy states that if someone wants to return a new item, it cannot be open. If it is defective, then they have to get the same item. And its not like I had $800+ in my resister to give him anyway. While this is going on, the guy's friend keeps saying that its bullshit and that it should be written somewhere. Hey guess what? Its on the damn receipt. I called my DM, who agreed with me and they started to get prissy. Since we weren't going to give them their money back (oh, by the way, after I told him that he couldn't return it unless it was defective, he mentions that it is, that is overheating) his friend starts to grab a box of Magic cards and says, "I'm going to bling these". Are you fucking serious!!! Its not my fault that I have to follow policy and, well, I really don't care if they were telling the truth or not about the system. If its not working, then you get the same item in return. It doesn't warrant for you to steal Magic cards, thats just pathetic. I mean, come on, using a corny line and the only thing you take is a box of freaking cards?!

Have you read these? - Something Awful Comedy Goldmine: Retarded Customer Questions.

The number one, top-secret method to get what you want at the counter: BE NICE. I pity the foos who convince themselves that they are the last of the consumer champions, and they must make their final stand and get their money back.

But seriously... Why threaten the cashier... They can easily take film showing the shoplifters and show it to the police. And seeiing that it's gamestop, there has gotta' be at leats three camera's in there. They even cage the door shut so you can't say there is no security there.

We normally have at least two cop cars in the parking lot...as long as nothing else is going on. Of course they weren't there that day and when I called them, they were a bit upset that they're weren't. It wasn't really b/c they stole magic cards, its the principle, really. I highly doubt that they'll get caught, but we do have the serial number of the Ps3, so if it pops up somewhere...

What is going on with society when people can jsut announce that they're going to steal something right in the middle of a store and then do it?

Last view: 6107 days 		Well.. I'm assuming she was alone in the store at the time? I really wouldn't want to antagonize two cocky punks that walked into my store and thought they could do whatever the hell they wanted while I was the only one there.. might have potentially gotten into some real trouble with them that way. Besides, as she said, it was just a dumb pack of cards, not like it was worth it anyway..

Better to just report them (as she did) and hope the Police work it out. Playing dumb games to piss them off might be funny, and they probably deserve it, but it isn't too smart in that kind of situation.

Yes, I was alone atm, so I didn't want to do anything silly, especially since it wasn't worth it. Funny...if it was 15 minutes later, my third key would have been there and he's been to Iraq twice and the type to jump over the counter and kick their ass. I would have liked to have seen that.
