Episode 14: Shoplifting

I absolutely love Devin’s tactics. This conversation reminded me of my own shoplifting experience. I once ate bin candy from Food 4 Less where I basically sampled a few gummy bears and jelly beans. Who hasn’t done this? Well, as I was leaving the store after paying for my groceries I was approached by an undercover security officer who escorted me into his office.

This led to me admitting that I had eaten bin candy for which he pressed charges. Yes, the police were called and everything. They decided not to arrest me because I was being calm and cooperative. The end result was my being banned from the store, a $100 court fee where I pleaded no contest, a $200 fee paid to Food 4 Less for damages, and I had to complete 50 hours of community service.

Was it worth it? Yes.
