Not much happening here

Sorry for not posting for a while. Not much happens around here.

Let's see, um. Had a tag switcher. Yes, in the addition to shoplifters who don't pay for their merchandise we have tag switchers who give themselves a huge discount.

Definition of tag switcher: Person who removes a lower price tag off 1 item and places it on a higher price item, then complains the scanned price is not correct and demands the lower tag price they put on declaring they found it that way. Well, this person who pretends not to speak English, but understands everything I say, didn't complain until after I gave her change. Which means, I have t call a manager to give a refund. I explain to manager that all the customer's item prices are wrong (clue to spot a tag switcher) Manager refuses the refund explaining the tags are wrong and scanned prices are correct. Customer doesn't want the items now since she ain't getting them 99% off and leaves.

Manager called whoever about catching a tag switcher (another clue is they place the clearance sticker on top of the UPC code hoping I won't able to scan and just type in their price, but often I remove the tag to scan it and refuse to believe a $50 steak knife set is marked down to 99 cents). Manager leaves and come back later stating they stopped the person at another store. I'm unsure if that meant arrested or just caught, but didn't ask questions. In the end, they were caught.  

At least it gave me a story to tell my friends, right?
