this morning as i was drawing the curtains i remembered the time a friend and i were almost nabbed for shop lifting.
Yeah.. shock! Gasp!
Actually, the more shocking part was that the security camera's were actually working.
i guess i should tell you what happened and this is actually what happened and as per usual I was the innocent party.
My friend had to pick up something (cant remember what now) so we walked around the store and i picked up a packet of Dorito's i think they were. So we walk around and i decide that i did not want them any more so i put'em back on the shelf.
As we lining up at the counter, this chick walks up to us and grabs my bag. I was in sooooooooooooooo much shock i just looked at her. Then she turns to me friend and does the same thing.
The stupid Ugandan had more or less man (okay, possession) handled us!! Its a times like those that i thank the good Lord I'm a good christian (most times) and I'm naturally mellow otherwise I would have created a scene... a major one of "please come back n shop worth 200k" ones.
I always think it odd when you are busy minding your own business in a store and then someone walks up to you and advises you not to shop at the store for one reason or another. They generally decampaign the shop sooo badly you wonder why they are there.
I recently felt like setting camp in an optician's office. See, less than a month ago, some amount of money had been spent in the said office and the frame's'd developed a problem. (one nose bud (i think theyz called) had broken off. So i walk into the store, this is how the convo went.
T: Hi!! ((bright n chirpy! i hear it wins'em over))
Attendant: Hello ((clearly looks unimpressed))
T:SO i have this problem with this thingy here (pulls out spects))
A: Did you get them here or at lugogo?
T: Lugogo (it matters how? its the same store, duh!))
A: Okay, u need to pay 5k!
T: What????!!!! i spent this much (pulls out receipt) less than a month ago and your lousy frame has issues already and u want me to pay 5k?!!! Are you mad????
A: No, but those ones dont come with a waranty or maintenance thing set up.
T: Yeah, so what?? I just spent dimes on you! There is no waaaaaaaaaay im spending again so soon.
A: ((sighs)).. okay... lemme see what i can do but you may still have to pay.
T: You'd beta, son! (mumbled under breath)
I came back 20 minutes later and at first chick was giving me attitude (prolly coz i was the freebie getting peep). I had just about made myself comfortable to assure everyone who walked in not to use them and with their traffic, my little campaign would have been damaging, then she gave me the pair.
So i walked back a happy peep.
But back to my shoplifting story. I still cant believe they thought that of us... by the time i'm there, i have the dimes, hello!!
Maybe it was the way i was dressed..... maybe.....
o hai!
that shoplifting story is so incomplete! so were you strip searched? what, what? and what did you really "lift"?
you wear spectacles? [direct translation] i would not have guessed. whenever the bits fall off mine i just take them back and stand there looking upset so the timid dude just fixes them and hands them back rapidly!
Specs, how do you get out after 25 yrs of addiction and countless visits to the opts. I want out.
Back to shoplifting, what happened?
