Shoplifting dilema
 
While out shopping in a large store you see someone stealing some good's!
what would you do?
turn a blind eye and continue shopping, report it to security, or confront the person?.

Ninastar 29-10-2013 06:42 AM

i'd report them to security

Vanessa 29-10-2013 06:44 AM

I would mind my own business. What if i was wrong and misinterpreted the situation?

Shaun 29-10-2013 06:45 AM

I'd ignore it.

Verbal 29-10-2013 06:49 AM

Getting your head kicked in for being a grass or being arrested on suspicion of being an accomplice. I would just leave the shop.

Ammi 29-10-2013 06:50 AM

..I'd ignore it as well...maybe I would feel differently if it was a small/private owned shop and someone's livelihood but a large store would have alarm systems anyway...and it's not someone hurting someone, it's just material things...

Wink at the person and get on with my life probably :laugh:

smudgie 29-10-2013 07:25 AM

Having watched "Shoplifting and proud" last night, I would report them.
Unless it was food etc from a supermarket.



.

Might have been "Pickpocket a d Proud".

Kizzy 29-10-2013 08:03 AM

I would think they were being followed on CCTV and just get on with my own shopping.

Kate! 29-10-2013 08:06 AM

I'd ignore it.

GiRTh 29-10-2013 09:17 AM

Mind my own business. Just like I'd expect people to do if it was me doing the shoplifting.

I one saw this chav shoplifting from Greggs. Greggs FFS.:joker: I was so busy laughing that I was in no state to report them.

Me. I Am Salman 29-10-2013 10:29 AM

who cares, especially if it's a big store that makes tons of money. they have good security anyway

MTVN 29-10-2013 11:01 AM

Depends, if I could report it without the shoplifter realising I'd done it than I would

A while back me and my brother were in Primark and he noticed a guy shove a £3 t shirt up his top, he went and told a security guy about it which I thought was a bit pointless over something so small but then the bloke kind of deserved it for stealing something so sh*t and cheap, was quite funny watching them follow him up the escalator and round the rest of the shop then corner him as he tried to leave

Josy 29-10-2013 11:06 AM

Mind my own business.

Again, if I saw that I'd be too busy laughing and taking the p*ss to even think of reporting them.

Ignore it, not my problem tbh.

I would be tempted to report if it was a small family run shop or something hough, where loss in profit would actually affect them

When i read your post, I read it as "I would be tempted to report if it was a smelly family"

In all likelihood I would mind my own business, often as to supermarkets anyway, I wonder who is really robbing who,the customer shoplifting or the Store with it's massive increases on goods that have been on the shelves most of the week.

A packet of treats for my Dog which he likes, I bought yesterday, they were £1.15 at 8pm last night on a full row of them, this morning those same items were up to £1.65.
