great job rpm!
sounds like you're teaching some civic responsibility to the next generation too.

That was the best story I've read in a long time. When I was a manager for Office Depot no way in hell they'd let me do anything like that. At most if I ID'd the scam as fake I'd have to ask the customer to leave. But this, this was a great moment where the criminal doesn't get away.

As Gus Grissolm would have said, "****in' A, bubba!"

That's because commisary baggers work for tips only.

Well done rpm!

Ive busted my fair share of good and bad fake id's, and sent some poor kids off to get their future ruined by getting document fraud stamped in their records.

Way to go, RPM.

Its nice to see a business that's alert to such things. From the banking end of it, we see a lot of people who are victims from so many things out there. You'd be amazed to know the average amount of money stolen in a armed holdup versus a phishing scam.

Or at my store.

We still have "sackers" that carry out to the car for you and some of the boys do very well in tips. We do it to provide "superior customer service" and to keep track of our shopping carts. You would be surprised how many people refuse this service and carry their own groceries. I blame WalMart and self-service gas stations. They have trained people to do their own service and feel uncomfortable when someone offers to do it for them.

We also still provide home delivery one day a week for senior citizens and the handicapped. We do it every Wednesday (first day of the new sale) so they get first pick of the specials.

Remember that post I made about idiots that can't bag correctly anymore or even set the bags in the car with care? That's why I refuse carry outs. Not that I wouldn't like it, it's that I'd like my eggs and bread squish free.

I see it more as need then want. For example, my time spent in a grocery market was literally next to one of the largest retirement communities in eastern PA. We had a lot of old people coming through.

Most old people didn't take us up on our offer to carry the bags out because they knew that there were other old people who did need it because they were slipping physically.

i dont think i would ever call the cops on someone for something that trivial.

dont get me wrong, its a good story, and well played by you.

just something in me would have wanted to tell him that he has 2 mins to GTFO of here before the cops come and ruin his life.

maybe im assuming that i would be working for a company in this situation. maybe if i owned the store i might want to bust him good.

dunno, just seems to me that a quick smile, a 'WTF are you doing' look, and a deadline before the cops gets there would have been my choice.
