It's time to show business that are stupid or have allowed stupid people to manage them. Like Safeway grocery stores!

That was completely stupid of the store and the police to do.

Grocery stores where I live have eat in places and I can see this happening.

Yes she should have probably paid first but come on, she did want to make it right and it's obvious this was a mistake and not on purpose.

People these days overreact over the stupidest things when they should reacting over something that actually matters, they don't. Ridiculous!!!

I usually shop at the commissary on base, and one time I was there, I was 8 month pregnant, and the line wrapped ALL THE WAY around the store.

I'd eaten before I went shopping, and while waiting in line, I grabbed a chocolate milk, and drank it because my glucose levels had dropped so low, I was on the verge of passing out.

I'd already been in line for an hour, and it was another hour before I even got to the register.

I gave them the empty bottle and still paid for it, explaining what happened an they were ok with it.

SO, in that case should I have passed out and waited for an ambulance to come get me or should they have arrested me for drinking a bottle of milk in line?

Sure there are some circimstances where they should have waited, but I figure as long as you still pay for it, you should be ok.

It's possible that the person the story refers to is someone that the store has an ongoing issue with.

Either way, the store over reacted I think.

Safeway is just a greedy company, very top heavy and pays the people below supervisor positions pennies. I work in the corporate office and not only are they not giving raises for the last few years, but theyre also raping us with very high insurance rates. I agree, boycott SAFEWAY!

Everett, Washington, A Safeway security guard is taking heat for the way he questioned a 4-year-old shoplifter in Everett.

She grabbed a bag of apricots - dried apricots - opened them, ate a couple, put it back Savannah's father didn't notice.

She needs to sign this form saying she understands she can't come into any Safeways,'" Jones said.

Savannah can't read or write, but the guard, whom Safeway had hired under contract, had her scribble on the paper.

The Safeway Company said they are outraged by the incident and have fired the security guard.

Sqafeway says, We are as appalled as the parent is. Our division president was absolutely appalled, called the mom and apologized.

I was reading your comments and I am not sure what you are trying to say.
"It's time to show this business"... What? It's time to show them what?
"That was completely stupid..." What was stupid?

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Capricorn

Don't take any risks when handling your finances today, because there are strange things going on. Someone may not be as straightforward and honest as usual, or can't explain themselves properly, which leads to misunderstandings and false assumptions. If you're spending money, make sure you're charged the right price and given the correct change. And don't let your wallet or purse out of your sight, in case you mislay it or someone nabs it.
