I very much agree with having the parent take the kid up to the store manager and
have a stern talking to an early age. I have friends whose parents did this and it left
a lasting impression. The older the kids get, the more likely you will have a repeat offender
and have to call the police and send them to juvenile hall. There are a few different motives
for shop-lifting, thrill seeking, doing something "bad" and wanting something they cannot afford.
Best to stop this behavior in the early stages, before they start stealing cars and breaking into homes.

I had mothers bring in their 5 year olds when they lifted a candy bar, and make them apologize to both me and the store manager......yay Mom!!! The poor kid would be crying, and while I'd want to tell the poor thing it was okay, mom was doing it to show the child it WASN'T okay. And then there were the older kids that when I told them I was going to page Mom to my office, they told me they'd rather go to the police department.....if it wasn't a lot of merchandise they stole, I'd let Mom handle it....she'd make a much bigger impression on the kid than any cop could! But I had absolutely NO problem whatsoever turning anyone over to the police....theft is theft, and shoplifting is probably one of the major reasons that prices are so high in retail.

Question is - would you be concerned as to why they had taken something, or called the police anyway, as in - fuck'em, they are guilty anyway?

Stealing is stealing.

We had a discusion at work yesterday that made me think of this thread. We found several boxes of prenancy tests that were empty, in the bathrooms. They hid the boxes in the toilet tank after using the tests, which was how we found them. What we figure is, if they dont have the money to buy a pregnancy test, they better sure as hell hope its negative. You cant drop $10 to find out of your going to have a baby, you most definately cant afford to have one.
AS for the black market value of lube, in certain stores condoms and anything else personal pleasure related has to be locked becasue of the high volume of theft (usually by high school kids who would not make the purchase for fear of being seen). I know in Vegas the store I was at had locks on the condoms and the lube. Plus we had to lock up the prilosec, the baby formula and the electric tooth brushes. At the store I am at now, its everything electronic too. ITs just crazy, you can barely shop wthout having someone follow you around to unlock your purchases anymore.

there are degrees of "bad". i betcha everyone here has walked away w a pen from a place of business of a job.

i want to complain. i bought a broom, $4.50. it did not last even a week. a product must perform per its intended use! so a broom must sweap. [it is not expected to be a hammer or a dildo]

there has been NO enforcement on fitness of merchandise! toilet brushes same story. SHOW ME how it works.

as consumers we accept this shoddy junk. my adice is to return it to store-
