First off let me say I am in no way busting anyone race religion or political view, just something I saw at Sam's today. I hate going to Sam's or wallyworld or shopping in general but when they call for your Rx you gota go. So I did some shopping while was there, dumb stuff milk bread, you know that kind of stuff. So I am back getting milk and here is a woman with a couple kids, and out by the cooler they have boxes with fruit and things for like a party. She picks up on with a big shrimp try and another big one with all kind of fruits and off she goes, kids in tow making all those kid sounds. But I digress , 3 isles later there she is the shrimp dish is empty and fruit dish is empty, and she is stuffing the empty plastic boxes, up on a shelf at the back of the store. So I grabbed a blue vest,. and told her, she shrugged her shoulders and said , you are not the first to say something about this kind of behavior, the store wont do anything about it. So there ya have it kids, and that is one more on the list of why I really dont like being around people.
I think this is sad

Very sad. The kids will probably grow up to believe that type of thing is acceptable.
But also... I'm confused. Did they eat all the stuff or did she hide it somehow to take with her? Most time those shrimp trays are bought frozen I thought?

From the looks of the fruit juice and the cocktail sauce splattered over them ,I would say they had an all you can eat shrimp and fruit special before the left the store. In Sams they have to coolers with all kinds of stuff that is chilled but ready to eat or pop in the micro wave, lots of veggie trays fruit trays and always a couple shrimp rings ready to eat.
She crammed the empty plastic containers on a shelf way in the back. You see and here about this stuff on the news and on line,, and think that's inner city, but its not. Those kids are headed down the wrong road and that's a shame

I was at Sam's today and saw one of those big boxes of cookies in the canned goods area, apparently they had their fill of dessert and plopped the remains down and went on their way. To add to the pleasure there was two extremely large, not really fat, "ladies" hollering their nonstop conversation all thru the store and continued it into the parking lot. This rude behavior is becoming the norm.

Not confronting thieves has become the norm in all businesses in my experience.
Company policy.
CVS, Walgreens, Frys Food, Big Lots, antique malls, Cabelas, Ace Hardware, O' Riellys, Safeway, Harbor Freight,
QT, all (3) Dollar stores.... I (or the wife) have either seen it or heard their employees complain about it.
Our local CVS had a guy (white dude, looked like early 40s, drove a pickup) who would come in 2 or 3 times a week, in broad daylight, grab a bag of chips, a bag of candy, and 2 quart bottles of beer and walk out and say to the employees "Touch me and I'll sue."
Hundreds of times.
On camera.
License number recorded.
All they are allowed to do is call the cops, who, of course, do nothing.
After a couple years, it finally stopped..... as he walked by a customer, the thief somehow ran in to the customer's elbow with his forehead, managing to knock himself out.
I doubt he got any justice, but he stopped coming to that store.
And the cops were very interested in that incident on tape, (but not the thievery on tape) but somehow the cameras malfunctioned that day.
