Shoplifters

So mum went off to the library and then to the supermarket this afternoon.   While she was doing her shopping she thought she would check out the shampoo/beauty aisle for specials.  Going past the makeup she did notice a girl, in a green t-shirt and pregnant picking up at leas three of the maybelline mascaras and shove them into her shopping bag.  It did strike mum as odd, as you usually use a basket or trolley, and put your things in the bag after you have paid for them.  Also, those mascaras are $25 each (we know - crazy prices for a basic), so nobody buys three when they aren't on special.  Mum didn't like to say anything, cos those girls looked tough.

The girls pushed past mum in the yoghurt aisle and then when mum lined up to pay, she noticed them behind her.   They lined up behind mum, then they checked out the chocolates in the middle display,, then they nodded to each other and legged it out of the store.  Mum did call over a manager, and they said they would check the security tapes, but not much they could do.

That annoys mum, cos it is us the hard working honest folks that end up paying higher prices cos of those lazy shoplifters.  Also when she got home, she forgot to get rubbish bags, her whole reason for being in the supermarket.
