My day did not end after this event. I went to a jeweler to have my watch fixed while my husband was having eye surgery (yes, oh what a fun day!).

The woman working for the jeweler old me that this same store went after her daughter who was texting a message in the store and had tucked an item under her arm while attempting to text and shop. She was about to pay for the item and they arrested her for stealing before she even left the store!

It cost the lady $300.00 to get her daughter off the hook for this mess.

Word spreads fast where I live in this rural area.

I was told by someone else that they now employ people full-time to find thieves in the two stores they have here.

Being it is a "Co-op" it is owned by its customers, meaning my husband and me and every other "member" that has a number. You must pay to be a member of this Co-op. The only benefit to being a member is the one discount day a month for regular people and 10% off for people over the age of 60 years on Tuesdays.
