No you DON'T want excitement. Don't ask for it - you'll get it, lol. Seriously, boring is better, trust me.

Sometimes a peaceful day is better than excitment. So glad you had a good day and a sunny one. Sandyz

That's a pretty lousy way they have of doing things! They need to have people at the doors if they expect someone to constantly watch for folks walking out with mdse. We all joke about the W*M Greeters, but that is part of their job, to check the receipts of suspicious customers carrying out unbagged mdse & such. Glad you had a quite day. In 'our line of work' it is a blessing sometimes!

In my estimation, busy cashiers should not be expected to catch thieves. That makes me angry!

Really! Busy cashiers should not be expected to catch thieves. Was she with another customer? It's a hard situation to deal with but a cashier, who is working on a reg should be alert, but not responsible for shoplifters. She or he should be minding the cash and dealing with custy service. Aren't there any floor people? Home of Depot maybe cant afford a person standing at the door at all times like WM can but there should be people on the floor looking out for manager set ups. Sheesh. I am SOOOOOOO glad I don't work in a frikin store anymore. Blech. I remember seeing suspicious persons and being "set upon" them. Just stand next to them, make conversation, clean the area they are in. I had one lady tell me to leave her alone and I said, "sorry, my manager said I have to stand next to you." She left. hehe.

Really. With my luck, I would be busy catching someone with $10.00 worth of stolen goods and make a $20.00 mistake in my drawer. I bet they would forget how I caught the shoplifter real quick.

I can understand the need to be alert to customers walking out but what if the cashier had recognized the "employee" as one of your own....they might not be as alert to expect the "employee" to be doing something wrong. Whatever the case, it was kind of mean but I guess security and control have to carry on. Hope you had another warm day so your apt. is cozy when you get back home.
