Timing, what
timing, seems like I have been blessed with timing even though I run late all
the time, I have the uncanny ability to be at the right place or wrong place at
the right time.
For instance
today after work at about 3 am I went to the communist store (Walmart) in
Eastlake for some junk food - a jar of honey, loaf of potato bread and organic
apple cider vinegar (just kiddin' there folks).
I asked the
lady who was playing watchman over the scan n go to help me out. I told her "I
hate these self-checkouts, one time I noticed when I got home that I got free
milk, for some reason it didn’t scan, so what happens if this should occur
again, who is going to believe it happened by accident if someone should stop
me"?
So after the
worker checked me out, um I mean the items, we noticed a woman with a cart
half-filled proceed to exit the store. The worker yelled "Hey, stop, excuse me,
lady, STOP"!
The zombie like Walmartian kept on briskly walking the cart right
out the door into the parking lot. She didn’t panic, no look up to see who was yelling
at her, just a steady brisk pace out the door.
I followed
the worker to the parking lot and said loudly “This ticks me off, man does this
make me mad.” The worker put her hands on her hips and just stared then said "I
can’t even call the cops because my cell phone is inside.” I said "Here use
mine.” After figuring out how to use an older flip phone, Melissa the worker,
reached the Eastlake police.
She gave a
play by play of what the Walmartian was doing. The zombie like thief kept on
going with the cart to the opposite side of the parking lot when suddenly out
of nowhere a car zoomed up, doors flew open, stolen goods thrown in, and in the
back seat plopped the free loader.
The getaway
vehicle took off but within seconds three patrol cars chased it down. On my way
out I drove past the cart which still had some goods in to so I returned and
told Melissa.
I went home
the same way as the mad dashers and the boys in blue went. Sure enough the car
was swarmed with the law.
So it
infuriates me, really infuriates me.
1. These no gooders could eventually cause
a store to close or alter their hours because of these kinds of heists.
2. It
causes increases in prices
3. It could cause our stores in America to
turn into third world fortresses with armed guards checking you as you enter
and leave a store.
Here I am so concerned I may walk out unintentionally with a gallon of free milk but there are those who are now so brazen they don't even hide what they are stealing or doing.
I would love
to throw the book at these scum and if I had my book in hand I would have.
Gotta Go-Go!
