The Neighbor who got threatened : YOU GONNA CRY ?

My first thought was "bitch I'm NOT going to call the police on a little kid. I'll be calling them on YOU.

Oh, i know of one former friend of mine who was arrested for having her kids shoplift at the WalMart.

Working at a grocery store, we recently banned a Grandma for stealing. (Manager saw her putting items into reusable bags & wouldn't let anyone help her bag at the register.) Worst part for me is she was clearly using her 5 young grandkids as a distraction. Teaching them this is how you get away with it. Sad.

Exactly

Had that happen to me once...I told him in earshot of the ENTIRE Office "How am I the Tattle-Tale? YOU complained to Boss that I refused to be taken advantage of and I just told Boss the Truth so if anyone is the Tattle-Tale, it's YOU, who went at told first - I just Defended myself against your accusations and half-truths"... He wasn't well liked to begin with but after that, he was the Office Pariah and REALLY Hated me...not that I cared, I never liked him to begin with... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan It is not at all unusual for the victim to be painted as the bad guy when they report the abuser and stand up for themselves. Been there, done it and was then labeled a trouble maker ..... not the person who committing the abuse. However, when I protested being labeled a trouble maker, I asked questions as to why the abuser was not being disciplined and "what does she have on who to be held blameless for HER behavior"? The powers to be did not like the question ...... but it got her talked to very firmly (I guess someone had to take a stance to counter the implication/question).

@@tinydancer7426 I know, it's a REALLY Sleazy Tactic that MASSIVELY Pisses Me Off... All the more so because it works so well, fortunately, with the massive increase in Cameras and people Recording everything in sight, this kind of Tactic should (I hope) lessen in time as more and more of it's victims can pull out the Recording and show people what Truly Happened and just how bad it makes the Guilty look by falsely accusing the True Victims...That and use the Recording in Court when they Sue the Guilty for Slander, Libel and Defamation of Character to the tune of $250,000.00+

And I'm even more astonished by the other people telling the OP it was not worth involving the boss. Some workplaces are sometimes so deep autopiloted in herd mentality they don't even think clearly.

Isn’t it Tattle Tale?

Big photo on every wall in the staff rec room. "Scammer: will ask for help paying for her groceries; please ignore". But banning works for THAT store. Panhandling is frowned upon in some places, right?

@@Kayenne54 True that "panhandling is frowned on but not sure about a photo of the little ole lady? Might bring repercussions? Simpler to BAN her and spread the word??

I saw a store do that to an old man that came in and tried to use food stamps...they asked for his i.d.( he did this all the time, they weren't his) This is actually the law, to ask for i.d. when you want to use food stamps at least it was back then , I was so glad that he had to leave all of his stuff there!

@@punxxi I hope that asking for ID is still the regular thing to do?

@@jtc1947 I dunno, I don't live in Cali anymore.

Feeding the trolls. Do you know where the concept of this came from? Some old fairy story about a Troll guarding a bridge, and extracting payment from everyone who wanted to cross the bridge. Can't recall the precise ending, but even as a kid I thought "Just cross the darned river elsewhere (or have the villagers band together and build a different bridge), or put in a ferry, and the Troll will starve". Go around obstacles. People are part of the problem when someone evinces this kind of scamming habit. Actively enabling is idiotic. Any manager who encourages this by permitting that person to hold up the line by BEGGING should be sacked, because he/she is actually costing his/her store real money. Escort from the premises immediately, and ensure staff don't hand over their own hard earned cash too.

@@Kayenne54 The ending I recall is; The villagers kill the troll. Happy ending!

Let me guess who she votes for ...

Oh I used to work as a cashier and we had one of those old ladies who tries to scam people into paying for her shopping. We couldn’t because the store didn’t let us carry our own money or cards but she was quite good at conning other shoppers. But unfortunately for her our checkout team is quite small and every new cashier was warned about her. Even our managers told us we could warn the other customers about her and her scamming very quickly dried up. She stopped coming pretty soon.

@@mikoto7693 ofcourse she stopped coming, she probably continued her ways in another store. Sad how people like this exist

Seriously. Or OP should have just taken everything they paid for since there's no obligation to give it to her if they haven't left the store

Nowadays most businesses don’t allow cashiers to do refunds. It’s a shame, really. At the grocery store I work at, our cashiers can’t issue refunds of any kind and can’t even void an item off an active order if it’s over $5. They have to call me or another manager every time. I get what you’re saying though. Even if he couldn’t do that, he could have called a manager. I know my petty ass would have gladly undone the entire order, then refused sale. Hehe

yeah,guy needs to buy a cam.

Well yeah the cashier should have held the items and called his manager to authorise a full refund then had security escort her out of the store. When I worked as a cashier we were taught not to tolerate nonsense.

I’m a cashier in a charity shop but I’ve also done extra training to sort out mistakes, voids etc on the register. We had someone come in just this week with a refund on a coat and an item of jewellery. I made a mistake when I was processing it (we are only human after all) and called my boss. When she looked at the item of jewellery, it wasn’t from our shop, but had our barcode stuck to the back of it (the lady didn’t have a receipt for this item). The boss allowed an exchange for the jewellery and gave her a refund on the coat (receipt produced for that). The exchange item was only worth £1.50, but the customer still scammed us for that much.

And get part of his wage garnished to a lunch fund for the other employees.

Reminds me of the "Popeye the Sailor Man" character Wimpy. "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!" LOL

i would’ve gotten that jackbag something with the hottest Hot Sauce on it just to make sure that that jackbag never ever asks for something

Not as bad as OP's store but years ago I worked at a small shop. We would sometimes go for group dinners. With most of my friends we just split the bill, knowing it'll all work out in the end. One day you might pay a little more. Another day you may pay a little less. But this one woman made sure if her order was less expensive than the average, that we had to separate it out to the penny. Okay. Fair is fair. However, when she'd order a more expensive meal than the rest of us she would say lets just split it equally because it would be easier. None of us went broke but her annoying little game pretty much put an end to group dinners...at least the ones she was invited to.

How did the mooch think complaining to the boss would work out for him? Only a narcissist could have logic that flawed.

I gotta agree. Not only was it worth getting him in trouble, it was SOOOO worth playing the reverse card on him.

They're probably boat stablizers, don't rock the boat and don't knock the person rocking the boat even if it will tip over. Just keep it steady.

Sure I can... Tootles... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

I would have refused to cover her costs as soon as she said that. Then again, I probably wouldn't have offered to cover around $42 of her stuff. There's no way she didn't know she only had around eight bucks.

I would have YEETed the soda to the ground and say to her, "There you go, your soda is now all shook up over your situation. Enjoy!"

well, Karens don´t retire, they are Karens when they are old, also

@@nickpossum3607 I would have put the soda under my cart and then got the receipt to return them to the store

Fair play to the both of you.

Over a decade and a half ago my partner and I attended a semi-work bbq. Everyone either worked at the same company or had worked there previously. It was at a restaurant, but not a terribly expensive one, and some in the group ordered considerably more than others. I'd been enjoying the beer and conversation and wasn't paying attention to the whole group and as we wound down the bill arrived and someone suggested we split the bill equally. I was ok with that, but my partner objected and with a couple of quick looks had a few other people objecting as well. I wasn't drunk, but she was stone-cold sober. Anyway, we walked away paying for the three plates and less than ten drinks we'd had over three hours. Afterward she listed exactly how much the guy who'd suggested the even split had ordered. On his own he had ordered more than three times as much as we had as a couple and his mate was over twice. No other single person there came close to consuming what they had

That guy sounds like a cheapskate, kinda like the uncle on Home Alone 2.

Why did you give him so many chances to redeem himself? What a cheapskate!

@@pianorama My husband tries to find the good in people(and it usually is the wrong person). I would've stopped it way earlier if it was me. I told my husband that the cheapskate has no friends because he uses people not because he is on the nerdy side.

I was thinking the same thing! Did they not understand the lunch stealer was the one who initiated and escalated the situation to the supervisor?! Of course, the boss was going to investigate and of course, the OP was going to explain the situation. SMH. Those coworkers were ridiculous!

Yeah, if you have to explain a situation, and that causes someone to get in trouble, then there is nothing you can do

Obviously that moron left out that bit about him being the initiating Narc when he told those other workers the OP narc'd on him, so those coworkers are not morons, they just don't have the full story.

@@mystikmind2005 just a thought, maybe those co-workers should find out the full story before making judgement calls on said story, so yes, they are morons.

yuppers.

I paid for a woman's groceries once. She was a young mother who had a toddler and a new born and her card was not working. And you could just tell she was overwhelmed with the two kids. Pretty much 90% of her items were baby items like food and formula. So I handed the cashier the $30 for the total. She broke down and started crying and offered to send me a check to repay me. I told her no it was fine. Could she have been scamming me? Maybe, but if she was she should be in Hollywood.

I wouldn’t have either, especially since she was rude to the cashier.

From what i've read, that happens a lot. There's a lot of scamming grannies out there!

Yep...the moment someone shows any entitlement, I will not help them at all, no matter who they are or what their situation is.

There was a lady in front of me paying with WIC. In the total, she was about $20 short. She start to pick out items to put back. She chose the stuff for herself, choosing to forgo her needs in favor of her baby. I paid the rest. I'd do it again.

Definitely, what that moocher did was essentially retaliation, which is a fireable offense.

@@kingtony_xx_0517 Actually it was less than half the original price. 25 would have been half. 20 was was actually 60% off of the original price. Also his garage sell or he *can* make the prices if he wants to. So 60% off and another gun or two. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Yeah, in cases like that, the coworkers only hear that OP got him in trouble, never asking why to OP... But then again, we are taught to take the first story we hear verbatim, so I am not surprised.

I'd say anyone taking the side of an abuser is an accomplice and deserves diciplinary action too.

@@Maninawig Are we really? I mean, yes, many people act like it. But I always attribute this to the inability to live with ambiguity. It's the same with COVID-19. These people can't bear to live with uncertainty, so they instead prefer to believe whatever lie gets fed to them over telegram, some website or trash TV like fox. Because real science is messy, constantly evolving, dealing with apparently contradictory tidbits of information ... and most people never learned to figure out something on their own with no helpful teacher behind their back confirming something as correct as soon as they get it right, so they have no f*ing idea how hard it is to establish a ground truth. And since they don't want to live with ambiguity and "I don't know", they instead chose to believe whatever the person in their tribe says. This isn't them being taught to act like that. It's an active choice they make, because it's way easier to believe whatever their own tribe says, than to dig for actual truth and to accept uncertainties in the interim ...

@@brag0001 I have met people who litterally got beat up because someone said they were sexist, racist, rapist, etc. Fun fact, this can cost someone a carreer even falsely accused. I also remember a BLM movement in my home town that a white bylaw officer arrested a seemingly random black guy and the movement demanded that all (Canadian) cops are retained because they are all racist, profiling and everything without once asking why (else they would have found the public info that the individual had a warrent out for skipping bail on a trafficking charge). And to prove this isn't new, assure from all the linchings in USA, there was a man named Samuel Mudd who in 1865 was falsely accused of assassinating President Lincoln. Even after not only proving without a shadow of a doubt that he was on the other side of town working at the time, AND THE MURDERER BEING CAUGHT, his name was tarnished so much that he had to flee and change his name, giving rise to the saying "His name is Mudd". We say blood is thicker than water and that family must stick together, using this as an excuse to defend rapists and thieves cause they are family... People jump onto full swing defending "minorities" to the point that they allow the oppressed to oppress (by proof of "fixing the white washing in anime", then claiming "black face" when a darker skinned individual is drawn... when it is a genre of animations about Asians living in their Asian country where there is not much reference to pick up on with foreign races.) The long-short of what I have observed is that we tend to jump on the first opinion we are given without asking what the other side of the story is. We see things as black and white when we live in a world of grey and thus believe that, because one thing is bad, the opposite must be good. Else if we were made to critically think (as people who love Science claim to do), then OP's coworkers would not seek to find their opinions before asking OP what his side is and judging from there. Sadly, it is also a fault of my own, but one I work hard to correct...

@@Maninawig exactly. And I didn't want to insinuate that this kind of fault was only present in one specific tribe. We still are barely evolved from those old tribalistic days and it's really hard to rise above that. Even scientists aren't immune to that. Which is why it's said that often times modern theories don't replace older ones by convincing scientists, but by old scientists dying, and the defenders of invalidated theories dying with them ...

I’m pretty sure you can’t do that. I know I’d be fired if I did something like that.

@@addisonwelsh This isn't on him making an assumption about the lady though. She proudly admitted that she did this regularly.

@@Calekoflight It’d still probably get you fired.

@@addisonwelsh telling the co-workers would be fine but telling customers wouldn't be allowed. by letting other cashiers know what to look out for your helping the store prevent "shrink" (aka loss of items of value) if you tell customers then your gossiping/slandering a customer.

@@shadowfox9801 Yeah, that would be fine.

I agree completely. There are those who will take advantage of you if you let them. Sometimes, however, there are people who need just a bit of help. Case in point. I was shopping at a local store and got in line behind an elderly black gentleman. When the cashier rang up his purchases (only a few items) he didn't have enough money. He tearfully told her to take the coffee and cooking oil off his bill. I could see that he was upset so I told the cashier to ring up those things with my stuff and let him take it. He was almost in tears and asked for my name so he could repay me. I told him to just help someone else if he was ever able. He shook my hand and left. He was honest but some aren't,

Technically it’s 42 but the point still stands.

2 crates of soda?not bottles, but 12 or 24 bottles are heavy. Other groceries for a total of 50$....and old lady with a walker. How was she able to carry this?

@@brandondavis7777 yeah but the thing about grocery stores is the camera's on the registers to prove theft and at least where i work they have microphones.

I highly doubt that. There's her, her hubby, and a nearly adult son. If none of them had thought to ingratiate themselves to the neighbors in all the time prior to this BBQ, it was probably never going to happen. They seem to think quite highly of themselves and only want others to cater to them.

Huh, similar to a rule we have at our workplace. It’s a hospital ward so patients are forever giving us chocolate and such as thank you presents. It happens a lot. The general rule is that any member of staff can have some, but it has to be within reason. Gobbling all of it or most of it means you don’t get any for the next three times. I’ve got to be honest, nobody has done that.

@@RW-bt6ex And yet it's very easy to do: just stop putting them into your mouth and lighting them. All you need is will power for a good two weeks. The problem isn't that smoking is addictive. That part is over in two weeks. The problem starts afterwards. Because there is a social component to smoking as well as your brain not knowing what to do instead. That's where most people fail. A friend of mine stopped smoking for an entire year. He became an aggressive anti-smoker and constantly harassed his brother over him smoking. After a year he started smoking again. This has nothing to do with smoking being addictive. This had everything to do with him not finding a positive attitude of what to do instead at those moments when he'd normally start a cig. It's the crave that got him back into it, not the addiction ...

@@brag0001 ... That'a easy for you to say . Have you ever smoked ?

@@RW-bt6ex I never was stupid enough to start. I had to come off of oxycodon though, after shattering my hip ... And it's not only easy to say. It's as easy to start doing it, as I already wrote. The hard part isn't to stop. It's to stick with no longer smoking for the rest of your life which is hard ... because that struggle is with your own perception of reality. The addiction has nothing to do with it. That's something you can overcome in a few weeks. As I said: the real struggle starts afterwards. You have to convince yourself that you aren't sacrificing. As long as you feel as if you were depriving yourself of something while not smoking, you are doomed for failure when trying to give it up.
