You know, some of your employees can be quite judgmental and prejudiced. Since when is teaching…read moreyour child to scan items themselves (since that seems to be the only option anymore) so wrong? Do you think you go unnoticed when you are following someone through the store? Do you think you aren't seen when you keep stepping closer and closer while I am trying to complete my purchase? You, as well as I, saw that my child was scanning one item at a time, learning how to properly scan the barcode, before passing the scanned item to their older sibling who was bagging the scanned items. However, to you, this instead looked like they were stealing as you came up to inform me that a pie had not be scanned. Yet, right there, at the very top of the screen, was the said pie. Your response? You thought it was bananas. But I digress. Where were the supposed bananas that were keyed in (4011) since that is how you have to do those, along with weighing them. You were standing close enough and staring hard enough to see that there were no bananas, that nothing needed to be weighed, and yet, you still had the audacity to come and accuse my child of trying to steal a pie.
No, I did not need you to attempt to clarify anything as I have done your job, supervised your position. The last thing I want to do is teach any of my children to steal anything. The story you tried to clarify to me was that numerous items were being scanned at once. I'm not sure where you were looking, but one by one, those items were picked up from the shopping cart, scanned, and passed to the older sibling who bagged them, again, ONE by ONE.
If y'all want to catch the people who are stealing, go back and look at your cameras to the time it was reported to you that an older white gentleman opened a pack of artificial sweetener packets, put them in his pocket, and placed the empty box back on the shelf before walking to the front to check out with his wife. Y'all said you would have to look at the cameras but then proceeded to do nothing. Or go back and check the cameras when it was reported to you that an older white gentleman who drove a small older pickup grabbed quite a few meats (steaks), shoved them under his jacket and proceeded to leave the store. One of your cart attendants said oh well. That's why y'all have insurance. No one was going to go after him, he said, as he watched him drive away. OR one of your employees stood near the endcap where there was a display of individually wrapped bath bombs. She proceeded to lay her vest and jacket over her arm, reach under her jacket, grab a bath bomb and put it in her vest pocket before heading out of the store.
You all are so worried about people that you do not socialize with, go to the bar with, drink on Sunday's with, so worried that they are someone to worry about when the ones you need to be watching are the ones you like to BBQ with and go to church with.
We are living in 2025. It is high time to quite being so judgmental of people who aren't like you. I know I am not the only person who goes through this. This happens to so many people everywhere. Just stop it already. I don't need my child thinking they are a problem when it's really you.
