Ok I'm going to relate my story and you all tell me what you think. It's Saturday evening and we're busy as usual I'm cashiering and I have a guest, a woman of around 40 and her daughter of say 20. They have quite a bit of stuff and I'm ringing everything up and I come to the last 3 or 4 items and I turn to tell the guest the total and she's gone, daughter too. I ask the ladies next in line did you see where they went. The one woman says "yah, she and her daughter just ran out of the store." My GSA was right there and she went out to see if she could spot them but they were long gone. She asks me if they ran a card, I show her the suspend slip I just made and said no way I couldn't have suspended if they had. The GSA takes the last bag along with the slip and goes to call the LOD. My guests who saw the whole thing just happen to be a mother and daughter to. They're saying that these two must be pros to be able to run out for the few seconds my attention was on the last bag of stuff. The LOD does a print out of the items that were on the sale, and we go on just assuming they stole the stuff. A couple hours later a call comes in and it's the daughter saying they are missing a bag and their receipt. When told that they had left without paying the daughter acts totally shocked and says she'll come in to 1. pay for the stuff and 2. pick up the missing bag. And sure enough she was back within 30 minutes and paid for everything.
:huh: :wacko: :unknw:
There you go, now you tell me, did they really believe they paid even though I was still ringing items or did they just get scared and decide to return and pay to avoid the police?
