picked up some parcels from the amazon locker, put em in me bag. like i always do. i know it looks slightly iffy in a shop, but what else am i supposed to do with em, carrying around the shop on my head??

anyway, about 2 seconds later i hear a call saying "security aisle 4" or summat like that. i knew it was about me, nobody else in the shop. but i thought oh feck you, and carried on my shop and went looking for the crisps. this kid stops me and says can i look in your bag? i said no, no you cant. im pretty bloody stubborn and my first thoughts were let him get the police and i'll show the police whats in my bag to make him look a total lemon. but then for some reason the red mist decended and i went mental at him. swearing like a lunatic. by this time two of his mates had appeared, so i thought ok you can see whats in my bag. let your mates see what a prat youre being. i showed him and threw my amazon parcels on the floor, hope i havent broke them lol. hes apologising and offered to shake my hand and im just telling him to fook off. i then threw my basket of shopping on the floor and stormed out like a nazi stormtrooper.

now i feel a total prat for overeacting! still annoyed at being accused of being a thief just cos i use their flipping amazon lockers, that they put in to try to get more business. annoyed at how he asked me to. his words were just "can you i look in your bag please" and then "i saw you put something in your bag" not...excuse me i know this is annoying but i saw you put something in your bag near the locker, im sure its just something from the locker but can you just show me what it was. ok id have still been pissed off, but maybe a little less so? but whatever, i know i overeacted by swearing like a crazy man at him. should i go in and say something, or will that make it worse? i dont want to get the kid the sack. i dont want to complain, i just i dunno i feel a bit bad at how agressive i was to him.Sad

its also cos i have a bag/rucksack. i get it a lot less when i dont have a bag.

but again, im buggered if im gonna not take a bag into the shop just cos some kid thinks its suspicious. if they dont want customers, fine i'll shop somewhere else. hope they go bust. id rather pay twice as much to not get treated like a criminal for wearing jeans or carrying a bag. if they dont know im not a thief, then they cant be very good at their security. ive been in the shop about 100 times to get parcels from the amazon locker.

they surely must have noticed me do it before and checked the cctv footage ro see if i was up to no good. or more to the point, they should only be suspicious of customers who have been flagged up as known shoplifters. which i cant be, cos ive never stolen anything. im betting some bright spark as seen me putting parcels in my bag before, thought it was suspicious but not bothered checking to see what i was doing and just presumed i was a thief.

Unfortunately, it would seem that your style of dress, general appearance and your penchant for placing items into your pocket/bag/haversack or just hidden beneath your jacket, mirrors very closely the actions of some inconsiderate people who use those same techniques to steal things from shops.

You look like a duck. You sound like a duck. You hide stuff like a duck. Chances are.,..you're quackers!

He probably only wanted to advise you to keep your items in view. If they were checking for shoplifting you would have been asked outside of the store after you had taken the goods off the premises.

WTF is an amazon locker ?


Where you store women of a height of over 6 feet 6 and built like wrestlers.
Report sideshowbob • April 22, 2014 12:35 AM BST
an amazon locker is a locker for amazon.

or to elaborate further, you buy stuff on amazon and get it delivered to an amazon locker in a shop. thereby eliminating the whole "postman knocks on door, youre out, postman takes your parcel back the depot, you have to waste half your day going to pick it up" palava. theres about 30 loclers, you type in a code given to you by amazon and a locker with your item opens for you to take it out.

i dont think its unreasonable to pick up your parcel from the locker and put it in a bag. the shop obviously know they have amazon lockers inside their shop. its their shop.

No matter how you dress you can still be a shoplifter. you would be shocked if you knew the types of people who have been caught for shoplifting. 3 months ago a bank manager was arrested for nicking a packet of cheese valued at £2.74, It was his 1st shoplifting offence. So he was let off with a warning and banned from the store(he was very happy with that). But because he worked at a bank he had to be reported to the bank for what he had done. He lost his job the next day. What a silly man he was.

to put it in to some context, the lockers are at the end of the shop.

i got one parcel out of the locker. put it in my basket.
i got a second parcel out of the locker. put it in my basket.
i turned round to where there is a side bit where people can sit down. i put my basket on the side about 5ft high. i put my bag on the side too.

i opened my bag, took one of the parcels and put it in my bag.
did the same with the second parcel. then zipped up my bag.
all of this clearly in plain view of the cctv.
its not like i was hiding what i was doing in any way at all.
the guy who saw me, must have saw me do it on the cctv cos he appeared from the other side of the store. if he only caught the back end of what i was doing, it still doesnt take a rocket surgeon to figure out that i was probably putting something in my bag that i had taken out of the lockers.
bearing in mind the lockers are at the far side pf the store, past the checkouts. no reason to go there unless you are using the lockers.
