OMG. I am sitting here in shock. Let me give you some background. At my job, we've been being robbed blind from the liquor department. Night before last (when I wasn't there) they almost caught a guy walking out with a cart full of soda and liquor. What he did was built "walls" along the side of the cart with soda cases, and then stuffed the liquor bottles (big, expensive bottles) in the middle so they couldn't be seen. Then he'd take the back route across the store, up aisle one, and out the door before anyone could do anything. Our new loss prevention guy almost had him, but the guy threw him off with the "across the back of the store and out the front" maneuver, BUT they got pictures.
So, last night (I was working service desk) he came in again. My manager alerted me that it looked like the guy in the pictures. So I had everyone on the front end watching him. Apparently it spooked him into leaving without anything, but we found his "evidence" (a shopping cart started with soda case walls and six bottles of expensive liquor in the middle) after he left. So we didn't catch him, but he didn't rob us blind either - I counted it as a draw.
My boss just called (this is why I'm in shock), asking me about the incident and telling me "good job". This is retail, folks. Being told "good job" is akin to being nominated for sainthood, LOL. Only downside is, she asked if I'd talk to the police, and I said I would...which means I might have to get out on my day off in crappy weather. Ah, well, worth it if we stop this idiot.
