Thieving Shopkeeper

Hootanany

Just went in to my local shop chap in front had just bought something, anyway his change was about 8 to 12 cent in fiddlers and he told the shopkeep to put in in the boxes i.e charity things Fecker put it in the till when guy walked out should I report this.

Johro

Who to? The penny police?

El Weirdo

Yes.

Get on to the Gardai immediately. This sort of crime should not go unpunished.

I've had shop assistants do that in front of me. Like the other poster said what are you going to do call the Guards?

Rat him out to the Charity and the manager/owner of the shop

Crime of the century. It might make crimecall.

Probably stolen by a shopkeeper.

You should probably have dropped five euros into the charity box. One by one, while staring at the f#cker.
Mind you , he'd have them too as soon as you were out the door.:p
Drop money into the box, pretend to leave, rush back in the door.:D

No.

You should thieve something from the shop guilt free.

Scruffles

Was there definitely a charity box in the shop?

i was out for a drink last week, a friend of mine asked for box of matches, gave in forty cent for matches, received no change, my friend said nothing, but when we came out of same public house, my friend said he would never ever darken that door, and i will never go there again either,
anybody know the price of a box of matches

ladysarastro

Maybe he'd let some little brat kid off some money earlier and left it in his till so it would even up

Hootanany

It was the owner of the shop i mean a few coppers for charity and he sticks it in the till

If it was 10p, then the last time you bought them was ten years ago. Dunno how much they are now... I would have said 30c but 40 wouldn't shock me.

Oh I agree the shopkeeper is a twat. Just not sure what you'd do about it other than tell him.

In a pub 40c wouldnt be bad.

fasttalkerchat

Seems strange to me that he has charity boxes but steals the change. Maybe it was a mistage/other explanation.
Surely if he always keeps the money he would do it in the office at the end of the night and not in front of people.

Happenend to me in a shop across the road from my house, I never set foot in the place since.

Hootanany

Someone must be stalking me

But not pricey enough for you to leave your pint to go to a shop.

MyKeyG

I agree with the shop keeper. These charity types saunter in with their 'save this that and the other' collection boxes and have the audacity to ask shopkeepers to place them at the till free of charge. What the OP calls thieving I call rent.

Nothing free in this world ya know:D

the person who bought the matches did not want to make an issue of it infront of a good few people, as there was no tv or radio on at time everything could be heard, and he is a quiet person, but we swished back our drinks fast, and left, will not be back.
i once worked in a bar, that there was always a lighter or match available to customers.
it is called appreciation of your customer.

Unless the shopkeeper is holding the box hostage behind the counter, just put it there yourself.

I don't really see the problem.

This is serious. Tomorrow I will find out the price of a box of matches and let you know. Then if it turns out your friend was not overcharged you both can resume your patronage of that establishment and everyone will be happy.

When I read that I thought straight away of what Wayne Dundon said to a reporter "In for a penny, In for a pound".

Why didn't you just post this in the stingy thread instead of making a pointless thread?

It would have contributed greatly to it, and god damn it we need our daily stinge stories!

Report? :pac:
Sorry man, it just sounds like a little kid in school reporting someone to the teacher :P

Just realise he is a greedy fecker and hey, if you dont wanna shop there no more. Thats grand. But it aint something report worthy.

teishen

I used to work in a shop and he's scrounging for change for the till as it costs money to obtain change from the bank and such, especially if everyone is walking in with €50 for something that costs €2.56 or some ****e.

I used to just throw small change into the till that I was told to stick into the charity boxes when I was low while keeping a running count. When I hit 20c or so worth of charity box change I'd **** a 20c piece into the box and so on. Some beggars are fierce fussy about getting their poxy 1c back.

You should report him to the Police immediately.

Be prepared though as you may be required to testify in court. Crimes this serious in nature usually involve long, drawn out court cases

Maybe you should've said something at the time rather than starting a thread about it... But that's just me and my wacky ideas.. :pac:
