So these girls came into the store today.

[James]

Kind of cute, actually. At first I thought they were twins, but they weren't. They headed over to the video games.

And then I noticed one of the girls smiling at me.




So I naturally assumed she was planning to steal something. That's... probably not normal, is it? But really, girls don't smile at me unless they're fighting back a laugh, or if they're trying to get away with something.

So I ask them if they need any help. Still smiling at me, the one girl says no, so I leave them be. But I still do my best to keep my eyes on them as I ring up other customers. Every time I look over, she looks back at me and smiles.

Bitch is going down. >:

Then she asks me for an application, while her sister/friend/lover plays the Gamecube demos. I walk over to pick one up. She's sill standing at the counter, and I can peek at the other one and see she's still playing Gamecube.

Anyway, they leave. I immediately start trying to take a closer look at the games, trading cards, etc. I can't see a damn thing missing. The only real time they'd have had an opportunity to sneak something would have been when the girl was playing Gamecube. And within her reach would be old XBox games and baseball cards. PERHAPS they might have been able to snag a Gamecube game when they were first looking around.

But near as I can tell, nothing was missing. I'd still like to think maybe they took a $5 pack of baseball cards so that my suspicions are justified. Because, come on. If that one smiled at me and DIDN'T steal, she's probably going to come back and rob me at gunpoint. :(

Guaranteed they stole something. I used to see it all the time when I worked at a grocery store. >:

[Slinky Ferret]

Maybe they like computer games and have a crush on you?

She also wants to work there. Thats why she was smiling at you, hoping to get a chance. :)

[James]

But register jockeys don't have any sway as to who gets hired. Everyone knows that.

Remember that Aerosmith video where Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone where smiling at this guy and stealing stuff from his store? But then they thanks him by taking topless pictures in the photo booth?

Our store probably needs a photo booth. Fucking bitches.

[Womti]

point out the security cameras to them....;)

[derrida]

Why doesn't your store just keep the software behind the desk? Or is it a used game store?

As a register jockey, why do you care if merch gets stolen?

I think the lesson to be learned here is that you should start appropriating shit for yourself and blame it on those girls.

[Ivan Raged]

one time a woman smiled at me.... she now eats through her ear.

[SlyBattery]

Well, I don't know what you look like, but I would imagine they were probably laughing at what you looked like and they probably presumed you had never been laid so when they entered the store they probably couldn't stop laughing about it. Not to be mean...but it's probably the truth. At least in my experience it is. Then again I look like a Johnny Damon action figure after it was left in the stove.

[Jixby Phillips]

you cynical bastard

hey i got a good sense of humor, do you think lots of girls would like me

and you're about as funny as an infected toenail

[SlyBattery]

and you're about as funny as an infected toenail

Aw man, that would mean I'm not funny. I knew I should have taken notes from Steve Martin rather than that infected toenail.

Oh and I wasn't really trying to be funny, I was serious. And the johnny damon in an oven thing is just what I really think I look like. Though I understand you have to belittle others to sound all cool and stuff so right on man.

[DamnthatDavid]

As a former gaming store employee, I must back up James here. Cute girls in a video game store? that is as likely as a fat man in the olympics. They just checking out the place today man, they going to come back when a dumb/horny guy is behind the counter. Way to keep an eye on them robber sluts.

[ArrowX]

Pack a Nickel Plated Desert eagle (airsoft preferebly) behind the counter, and brandish it while suspicious pople are inside. Even if they do still steal shit they won't get away becasue a good gas Eagel can put a stop to running pretty quick.

[VolCanon]

I had some robber slut steal some packaged sandwich meat when I was working at a supermarket.
