Once in high school there was a real wench who for some reason didn't like me. Anyways a lot of kids went to the mall after school, then caught the public transit bus to go home. After getting on the bus I saw this girl with a ferret stuffed into her jacket. She was bragging about stealing it from the pet store. I felt bad for the ferret because if she couldn't afford the pet, how the heck was she going to afford to feed it and take care of it? I went back into the pet store, told them what I had seen, they went to count the ferrets, and sure enough one was missing. She girl was caught. HAHAHA karma will prevail everytime!

Shoplifting is quite expensive and those costs are passed on to the consumers in the form of higher prices, so you and fellow honest shoppers will soon pay for what she stole, so she in fact stole from you.

Just remember that when a store loses money and profits we all have to pay by higher prices. Well you should discreetly tell the manager.

Not to a cashier, but someone in management or the people by the door. If you have a camera phone snap a picture, snap her taking things. She is probably a klepto. She needs help.

We were, however, instructed to inform management or security. For a piece of candy, I doubt if I would attempt to ruin a person's life, but if it was something of a much greater value, I would say something, because in the end, we all wind up paying for that.

If she'll steal candy, she will steal bigger merchandise, too. One reason prices are so high is that merchants need to cover the loss from shoplifting. Yes, you should speak up about other people being in someone's way. If you say it pleasantly, you're not likely to tick anyone off. You should have turned her in.

When I worked in retail, we were just supposed to ignore it. Only security could do something about it, but we never had any around. It's never a good idea to confront a thief. The best thing to do would have been to find security (if the store had any) and let them know what was going on, or at least tell a manager or another worker, just in case there was something they can do. If they didn't see it happen, though, they may not be able to do anything. Many times, store workers aren’t even allowed to confront shoplifters.
