Two Nights Later, Another Store, An Incident

Tweet

So I went to a supermarket one parking lot away from that Walmart store with all the eggs two evenings later. It was about five, completely dark already. We needed some Ricotta cheese to prepare lasagna. I had completed my purchase, headed toward the door and heard a commotion outside. The people in front of me stopped at the door. A store detective, one of those guys who watches people from what look like mirrors up above the floor, had followed a man out the door and told him to come back in the store because he had stolen some merchandise. There was a short struggle and the store detective ended up on the pavement. The culprit got away. The manager ran out to help his employee up and they brought him into the store looking like he lost a fight. His face was a bit bloody and he was complaining about a sore neck. He wasn't a big guy, but looked stocky and strong. The other guy was meaner, I guess. That was a surprising thing to see. I wonder if the thief needed food for his family or maybe lifted a jug of wine. Either way, it was stealing. I suppose they reported the problem to the police and maybe had a license number. Prices have gone up, but stealing is risky. Have you ever witnessed an arrest or a struggle like that?
