The Shoppers in Waldorf was a complete dive, grubby and full of unsavory people. Of course, that also describes Waldorf in general!

I've been there and didn't enjoy it at all. You're right though, it's a good representation of Waldorf.The Shoppers in Waldorf was a complete dive, grubby and full of unsavory people. Of course, that also describes Waldorf in general!

I used to hate Shoppers. Back then we had to pay 2 cents for each grocery bag and had to bag the stuff ourselves.....I was like wtf kind of grocery store is this?? I had to bag all the food for my mom and she'd be screaming at me because I just threw everything into the bags without sorting them.....I was only 9 or 10.
I may have to check it out
I LOVE Shoppers...The new arrangement in the produce section is great!

I learned about this a few years ago: Retail stores periodically re-arrange where items are displayed, because many shoppers are attuned to where those items are normally found. If you're shopping for one or two particular items, you know where to look for them - which aisle, etc., and you'll go get them, check out and leave.
However, if you have to look in other aisles for those same items, something else along that aisle just might catch your eye, and you might be tempted to purchase an item you really had no intention of buying!

Society rewards stupidity. The person caught stealing will be fed clothed and housed. If store security Nazis just took them out back and administered an azz whooping they wouldn't come back.
I worked for Sears in Atlanta and one day a guy was caught walking out with a couple of canoe paddles. When they checked his car there was a stolen canoe on the roof
I had to ask somebody where the bread was hidden yesterday

Last Fri, a guy came up to the parts counter where I work, and requested his money back for an item he said he purchased "4 or 5 days ago". He said he had lost his receipt in the store somewhere, upon returning that Fri. morning as well.
I searched the 7 aisles we have in our store, and could not find his receipt.
Curious, I then checked the computer for that particular item, and found it had not been sold since 12/22/07.
Furthermore, storestock numbers indicated there were 3 of those particular items on hand - 2 on the shelf - and the one he was "trying to return"!

Sometimes that happens in addition to the arrest, if the perp tries to run away from the store security.

Gotta give him credit for trying. To quote a friend, "If you're going to risk getting caught stealing, don't get caught stealing the ground chuck. At least grab the filet mignon."

That's what I didn't understand. The canoe was several hundred dollras and the paddles were about $10 each. Should have quit while he was a head.

That is exactly it Penn and it works. We have thousands of new items in the store now and more coming in.
I remember when our family had an antique shop in Leonardtown. We'd have a particular piece of furniture sit in one spot for a year. When we decided to move it five feet it would sell the next day.
This happened an innumerable amount of times.

Down aisle 6 now.I had to ask somebody where the bread was hidden yesterday
They're also putting a dairy case on the end cap of aisle 5. It will be filled with milk and eggs for those people who don't feel like running all the way to the dairy department.
