Shoplifting


As usual, I was at the counter. My staff who was working at the back of the shop called me and pointed to an old lady waiting to pay at the counter.

My staff told me that the old lady had stolen some things from the shop. The boss was there too and he overheard it. He quickly went over to the lady and asked to search her bag.

She said that she had bought some items from the next shop. So the boss searched her bag and found a few items. One of the items belonged to the next shop whereas the others belonged to our shop.

When the boss took out those items, she said she would pay for them. She was not feeling scared. Instead she complained that the boss was being noisy.

The boss started nagging her for being a shoplifter.

Well, most of the time, shoplifters managed to get away as it was too late when we found out.

    She could be of unsound mind. These type of people probably need psychiatric help more than suffer the consequences of the law.

    Very seasoned and experienced she is cool. +Ant+ may have a point some people are sick, some are greedy.

    Should hand her to police since she does not seem sorry.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
