Make
what you will of this story about an event that happened recently. I am only the messenger, so please - no personal
insults, abuse, threats, etc.
In
a charity shop two members of staff were watching two customers very
carefully. The customers were both big
men who had been in the shop a number of times before and could be quite
intimidating. They were known to other local
charity shops for their stealing. Their modus operandi was for one of them to
distract the assistant who was on duty, while the other stuffed items for sale
into a bag. They never actually bought
anything.
Thanks
to the vigilance of the two staff members, on this occasion they left the shop empty-handed.
I
think most people would consider it despicable for someone to steal items donated
by the public to raise money to help those less fortunate in our society. And most people would have sympathy for the
staff who have to deal with this problem regularly.
When
the two men had gone, a young lady customer turned to the two assistants and
announced, ‘I’m going to report you!’
What
reason do you think this person gave for saying this?
‘For being racist.’
