Got A Reward
Posted..from my job for a job well done. :)
I caught a shoplifter trying to steal two big items by switching price. Sorry I could hardly remember what the item was. The not so old guy purchased an item that is worth $679.00 each with a barcode label of $98.00. Can you imagine that? Our store would have lost a thousand dollars, more or less. Unfortunately, I'm smarter than him. hahaha! Kidding aside, the shoplifter went through my register and he was trying to hide the original barcode by facing it down. And the fake one was facing up. But I really checked the item closely and noticed the pasted barcode. I called the head cashier right away but the guy hurriedly left the store.
Switching barcodes and buy merchandise for a lower value is not a new scam anymore. I've caught shoplifters of all sorts several times in the past three years. I guess reading a mystery novel helps, huh? :)
