RE: Thievery! Sometimes... I Wonder About the State of the World, and PEOPLE in it
I hate to say it, but a lot of people think that if you are a shop owner, you are automatically rich!
That made me laugh-- thanks! I did encounter that a lot, especially with the last store I kept... along with the perception that everything in the store is-- somehow-- "mine."
The "youngster theft" is usually pretty accurate, when it comes to theft and shoplifting. We notice there's always a sharp uptick in shoplifting during the summer break period... and then it drops back to a "dull roar" in September.
It is said that laughter is the best medicine, so I'm happy to have provided you with at least a little comfort medicine!
Owning your own business can be a lot of work and a huge financial risk. I have seen many shops fail and going bankrupt definitely does NOT make one RICH! It is curious where people get their perceptions from. Ignorance can weave such erroneous ideas. Perhaps every shop should have a sign outside that says: 'How would you feel if things from your room suddenly went missing after your friends left?' I wonder if that would make them think twice before stealing stuff?
