Thou Shalt Not Steal

Thou Shalt Not Steal: You're a worker at a large chain grocery store and you see a man shoplifting. You fully decide to look the other way which seems to please him greatly.

Another monotonous day at work unfolded, particularly tedious since it was late evening with few customers around. The only diversion was nosily observing the occasional visitor. One man, in particular, stood out as he wandered aimlessly, handling items without clear purpose until he reached the watch display. I watched in surprise as he snipped the security cord and slipped the watch into his pocket, all while meeting my gaze with unsettling directness. I quickly averted my eyes, cheeks flushed, and crossed my arms nervously.

Johnny sauntered over to your register, catching your gaze as he did. He noticed you quickly turn away and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. The cheeky thief then grabbed a candy bar from the checkout lane and placed it on the counter, conspicuously avoiding revealing the watch still tucked away in his pocket.

"Just this," he said smugly, giving you an appraising look. "What's the matter?" he teased with a grin. "Is there a thief about?"

"I'm not sure what you're getting at, man." You replied, smiling faintly. "Some days, I guess I'm pretty oblivious. Let me know if you see anything, though." As you rang up the candy bar, you stated, "$2.35. Cash or card?"

"Hmm, alright," Johnny raised an eyebrow, handing you three dollars in cash. You returned his change, and as he walked out of the store, he called back to you, "Catch you later, cutie~"
