ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

Tesco gives stuff awayMy wife works on the tills at Tesco. Just before Christmas there was a problem with the scanners on most of the 20 or so tills - the till monkey (i can call them that, she looks like one) would scan the item, the thing would beep and they would carry on. Problem was that roughly one in 10 would beep but not register on the bill. If they were not looking at the screen after every item they would not realise it had not swiped properly.
The bosses comment on this ' Yeah, we know, we are trying to get through to the call centre in India, just let them have it for free'
This went on for weeks before it got fixed. I shudder to think how much stuff was simply just given away.
