It's funny how times like this make me think, wow I could have done something with my life.

I work at a place that utilizes an aspect of the honor system.  No there isn't a can at the door where you put money if you feel like paying.  Anyhow without going into any details.  If a person walks out without paying we can tell.  Here in California the voters love criminals, so businesses have to be creative in how they handle cheap people that feel the world owes them.  Anyhow yesterday I encountered a pair of customers, who several months ago walked out without paying.  I remembered them.  They thought they were stealthy.  They thought they had the perfect charade.  They thought it was a day like any other day.  Until dunt dunt daaaaaaaaaaa.  I walked up the aisle parallel to them and met them near the door, smiling at them.  By the look on the faces they thought at first it was a strange coincidence.  They walked behind a display and peeked around to see me still standing there.  They walked to the other side and looked.  Yep still there.  They were quite baffled, and didn't even try to pretend like they were looking at items on the display.  Finally their mom walked up and they had a discussion among themselves.  The mom opened her purse long before she got to the register and started counting out her money.  Not typical behavior of a person accustomed to paying for items at the register.  Also it was strange how they all knew to meet each other at the exit door furthest from the register.
