How do you apologists live with yourselves? In your view, can people ever do anything wrong or is everything explained and rationalized as they are "oppressed" and misunderstood? Don't you people understand you are just enabling these criminals (let's call a spade a spade). Let me guess, you would coddle these idiots and throw more money at them in the form of welfare....right????


Hey Doc,

If they did this they are guilty and should do the time they get. Must be tough to be perfect like you. Ever write any script for the drugs the companies that give you all the stuff? Ever give the vicodin to the guy who claims to be hurt with out giving him a full exam? Ever report any of you peers who are abusing medications themselves?

That's right, you are beyond reproach due to your profession.

These two clowns deserve what they get but you are still a horses !profanity!

again doc, since you are not a native american we have a constuitution. in it is the bill of rights. one of them says we are innocent until proven guilty. now that dump you came from might not have rights like we do, so if you like it better there go back, elsewise please don't complain about our constituional rights because a lot of good people died protecting and defending them.
ain't it funny the token liberal has to explain this to all the "patriotic" americans.LOL
oh and dr stupid...they ain't criminals until convicted.

geesh get a copy of the constitution will ya?LOL

This is really small potatoes. One "local" Giant location had $70k+ in meats alone stolen from it in a years time 10 or so years ago when it opened. I'm amazed it took them that long to miss the cash. People were pushing whole carts full of meat out the door and not paying for it.

When I read things like this I just shake my head. How can people be so stupid? There are cameras everywhere in these grocery stores, especially over the cash registers! I'm surprised they even allowed this girl to wait on her mother to begin with. Stupidity, you gotta laugh at some of it.


Based on experience with 16 years in the supermarkets rest assured this is not uncommon. I worked for Pathmark when I lived in N.J. and the registers were constantly monitored by the computers. If they suspected that this was going on they would just cue in on the register and watch the order and then double check it . At times security would pose as a shopper. When a markets profit is on;y about 1% every dollar needs watching. Shoplifting alone costs the industry immensely.
I even worked with a store manager who had a ghost on the payroll. The dummy was caught when he got transferred and brought the ghost with him. Do you think they may have suspected something?
