This has been going on at my local mall for as long as i've lived here (ten years). Number one reason to stay away from the mall in the morning.

When I was 17 I worked at a Mall and these huge groups would be there with hand-weights and everything! Yeah this is old hat off route 9 Natick.

That's not my #1 reason for staying away from malls, I think it great compared to the amount oftweens I just saw hanging out (ah yes the mall rats) who would come in and steal candy were I worked. Mostly because I didn't care if they'd take it (I would have) but cause we got in trouble when tons of candy wasn't accounted for suring inventory. That and my boss used to leave work to be with a security guard and her boyfriend would come by and we'd have to make up lies about where she was.

Trust me, its not what you wear, its how you wear it. If I was wearing that outfit, it would look nothing like that. :wink:

Actually I worked at Sweet Factory (hides head in shame) we had to wear black pants, a white top, and an apron...thats right an apron.

They are unflattering on the figure.

My grandfather does this every day.

I've only stolen candy...once. At a WalMart in Orlando when I was 8. I told my parents when they found me gobbling some of it up that I found it in the drawers of the condo we were staying in. They "acted" as if they bought the excuse and then subtlely, two days later, gave me a lesson on "stealing".

You know what's worse? During Chem/Physics labs when you've got to wear an apron AND those goggles that are very air-tight. Once they're off, you're left with a big imprint of the marking on the face...

Unless worn without anything underneath.

Yeah, think about that one for awhile...

What? You think I already haven't? Didn't I already say its not what you wear but how you wear it? :wink:


@Chris - You never stole candy as a kid? I always used to...but that's cause it was "illegal" in our house, so we'd never get to buy it. If I ever wanted gum or candy I had to steal it. But that's when I was like ten. Now I just eat 2 candybars a day to compensate for all those lost years of sugar consumption

Shame on you! [-X :wink:

I actually have never stolen anything, but my sister has. I think it was some candy at, coincidently, Wal-Mart, when she was 7 or so. She got out of the store, then felt so bad she cried on the way home and made my mom take her back to apologize. She ate the candy on the way, though. :razz:

I'm assuming eldery folks enjoy it because, for one, it gets them out of the cold, and second, they get exersise for free while being able to window browse. Has anyone else witnessed this?

American malls rule.

You guys wanna hear a good stealing story... Here it goes. 1 1/2 years ago. Stoned out of my mind at the local convenience store with 4 friends. No money but we got the pasties and the munchies like there's no tomorow. So we walk in, me and 1 guy goes to the back while the two others distract the clerk (those two are stealing chocolate bars while talking to the clerk). I stuff three big bottles of sprite in my jacket while my other friend stuffs 4 big bags of chips in his. Oh but before I stuffed the the pops, I put a pringles bottle down my pants. Funny thing is, the convenience store is owned by one of those friends' parents.

Please tell me you're the only one who ended up eating those Pringles... :razz:

Ew. I MUCH prefer the outdoor "Town/Lifestyle" centers. Even though they look so faux, at least you can witness the outdoors...
