Who caught a guy trying to lift about 20 bottles of hand lotion hidden under a few cans of beer while only paying for 1 frozen pizza.

And just told him to go away, didn't bother any managers or anyone else with it.

According to what i overheard he's always in there trying to pull something like that.

Better luck next time buddy. I think if you give them a bit more plausible deniability they'll let you go by.

The vast majority of "loss prevention" interactions are just "I think you forgot to scan this, let me do it for you" and "oops I forgot I had that in my pocket, let me pay for it now" but these do not make for viral social media rage bait.

But the way the clerk just turned the guys bag upside down and dumped everything onto the belt. The look on the face of the young female clerk at the next aisle when she saw the lotion. Who was ineffectually reassured. And that guy straight ran out.

A drama during quiet hours.
