Imagine all the fluff and burnt skin stuck to the chicken. :pac:

The chicken was in one of the foil-lined paper bags but it wasn't too long out of the rotisserie. There was about 10 - 15 seconds of acting normal before the heat got too much and he started hopping.

It was one of those experiences where you don't quite believe what you're seeing.

Kids are getting soft. I blame video games.

In my day, we'd have held on until we had at least third degree burns and blisters on our blisters.

And consider ourselves lucky to have the warmth of a chicken on our bodies!

I think we are drifting off the topic of how to train your kids to shoplift. Keep the tips coming, mine are crap at it.

Buy a chicken someday, try holding it in your hand in the foil bag. The deli counter will put it in a plastic bag and warn yo about the heat. Then of course in Terenure they might like cold chicken.

I hope I don't get banned for this, but what nationality is this security guard, as I assume he is one, or else a stalker in a supermarket.

I work in retail and it's happening more and more often, aswell as using large buggies to aid theft.

Last year one of the shops I used to work in got hit for over a thousand euros worth of clothes by a members of a mobile community using children to steal for them.

Nobody knows that families circumstances. Maybe the poor family can't afford sky sports and they have to shoplift food in order to pay. Have a heart OP.

Wait. The car changed colour?

Probably just me, but I have visions of an Amish driving a blacked-out carriage into JD Sports with kids hanging off the side using grapples.

I just don't see how kids have the strength to be lifting shops

Anyone who ever worked in retail security is not surprised by this revelation OP :rolleyes:

Had to shake down a 5yr old a few weeks ago, little bas**rd was stuffing his pockets with kinder eggs and looking to make sure he wasn't spotted. Made him put then back, his mother was further up the shop...didn't even bother saying it to her, as granny says he didn't get it off the ditch.

Molester Stallone · 19-04-2014 12:22PM

When I worked on the grocery trade many moons ago, we had a lady in her early 60's who would come in & steal packets of jelly!
Got to the stage where it was so blatant I would stand in front of the jelly & just shake my head as she walked towards me.
I felt like a jelly bouncer

It happens so often that it's depressing. I remember it being almost a daily occurrence when I worked for Boots in England. Another time I was waiting for a bus home from work at a retail park and the store detectives and police descended on a couple of women with kids so young they were in prams and other kids who were aged between about 4 and 6.

1 of the women was heavily pregnant and had stuff hidden in her coat. There was stuff hidden in the prams behind the kids and on the older kids. I will never forget one of the little girls sobbing her eyes out while the police searched her mum:(

I can't honestly say that I think kids should be left with parents like that.

Twice today i see mothers using their kids to steal. First lady had put item into child's hand, 4-5 years old, child puts it into a bag that she was holding , mother picks up more items and hands them to the child . This went on at least 5 times that i seen . I thought nothing of it at 1st thinking it was cute that the little girl was doing her shopping. I went on my business anyway when i noticed her walking towards the queue wit one item in her hand , so i stood behind them with the items in the bag. next thing i hear made my heart sink.. Nudges the kid and says "it will be okay" quietly to her, " and aren't you a big girl now "," you can go and wait for me outside on the wall an don't forget not to talk to strangers" . She made sure that everyone heard that last part!! She goes and pays for the one thing and walks on out. I stop her over at this wall and ask her to come back inside shop with the child and which she does. She admits to it straight away as soon as manager mentions 'gardai ' but was adamant that she didn't see child pick stuff up before hand. The usuall ' im sorry' with tears come. but manager was way pissed over it as to using the kid to steal . Gardai soon arrived took details and let them on their way. . Later in the day i check back cctv as i see a client exit the store as im outside on break. When i check back my heart once again sunk when i clearly see this lady take items and nods at kid 7-10yo .kid takes his backpack off shoulders and hands it to mother. She puts them in bag and kid puts it back on back. Kid walks on out the door followed by mother , when i seen her walk out i watched her getting into her car. Same time as her previous visit. With same reg. Same car but the color was different. Which was verified by cctv.. Green to black and off they drove. I was and still absolutely discusted at the fact that these young kids who know no better have no chance in life with parents like this . Their harmless minds corrupted .
Harsh reality but true!

Just need to get this off my chest .

sickening stuff indeed, parents who do this are vermin

Used to know a woman who was notorious for shoplifting. Ended up banned from most stores in Carlow so she resorted to sending in her intellectually impaired daughter to steal for her.

Poor girl had no idea what was going on. Security used to follow her to the door and taken the stolen items off her, her mother would be there screaming at them for daring to accuse a "retard" (mothers words) of stealing.

I do have a heart man and i have kids too , i know my self times are hard and majority of times we would rather the stuff back and tell them they are not welcome back in the store. Its a waste of time and tax payers money and they mostly don't come back.
Maybe its those parents who teach their kids to steal are the ones who don't have a heart.

Edit: I hate my job too

I knew a guy a few years back, nearly related, he done the door on a pub on the Greenhills road, as far as he was concerned every one that came in the door was a $cumbag. He talked about this quite openly.
Where did that leave the ordinary customers in the eyes of this bigot.

No. useless, he could only use his bulk as a doorman, you could say a lack of intelligence, was his best qualification.
