Solo Once More

It’s been a little over a month since Ms. Wedlin joined our little family. Taking to prefer to work with Daniel rather than myself. Can’t say that I had anything against that but there were sometimes that Ii could have used the extra body heat from her to help warm the days here since the temperatures had decided to drop to mid fall temperatures.

But that was probably what alerted me to the lady in the swimwear section dressed in a loose blouse and a pair of cut-off jeans shorts with a tote bag. She appeared nervous as if she had something to hide as she picked up a pair of blue flip flops and dropped them into her tote bag. I took off to intercept her before she got to the exit, so I had no idea if she had anything else in her possession that she never paid for.

I got to the exit door just as she came from Laura’s checkout desk. Not sure if she actually paid for anything or just made her way through the lineup to go to the exit doors. Either way when she spotted me she tried to take a different route to the exit.

As it was, I waited for her just by the exit doors, as she came along, I placed myself in front of her. “Excuse me Miss, would you mind coming with me?” To her credit she protested that she hadn’t done anything wrong but allowed me to escort her to the loss prevention office. Inside I directed her to a chair and asked to see either her receipt or her tote bag.

At first I thought that she was going to say something but she just handed me the tote bag and watched as I took out the pair of flip flops.

“I don’t know where those came from or how they got into my bag!”

“Really, then I take it you wouldn’t object to standing up and let me scan you with a sensor detector then?”
