Grocery Store Video Tale
I enter a 24 hour grocery store. I look for the rack of for-sale movies that stands out in front of the 'Rent Movies Here' section of the store. The rent section is closed.
The rack is gone.
I ask an employee where the rack is.
Employee: I put it away.
Me: >Disbelieving stare.<
Later, I ask another employee why this was so. She mentions that the for-sale movies are a high theft item. When the rent place closes, there are no employees to keep an eye on the rack.
This makes sense for about two seconds.
You see, the store has two entrances. Where the employees are after hours is around one entrance. The other entrance is abandoned.
The rental place sits between both entrances. So...I know how to steal from this store and get away with it.
Also, the racks of 'Stuart Little' videos and 'Pokemon' videos and 'Phantom Menace' videos are still sitting out, less then five feet from where the rack of for-sale movies I wanted in the first place would be!
In summary, the store wants you to steal high-priced, newly released movies but the lower priced rack of movies are to be put away, out of customer's reach because we might actually want to buy a video and cause the store to make money and we couldn't have that now, could we.
To be fair, one of the employees offered to drag out the whole rack for me. But I asked her to look for the one tape I wanted to look for in the first place. (I'm not sure why I did this. I did have money to splurge and it undermines the whole peeve in the first place). Anywho, they didn't have it.
But they're still stupid goofheads.
