No I don't think I would have told, sounds like he has dementia of some sort as real career shoplifters would never behave like that. Sometimes we have to forgive and I hope the shop would on occasions like that.

Perfect reasoning

Re: oh dear wot nxt - ?

I wouldnt "shop" him.....I agree ,maybe he has the early signs of dementia or maybe he just doesnt have the money ...we really dont know how some people live do we?

We have an old gent in our local supermarket that does the same. The cashiers all know him and know how to deal with him, they just ask gently if he has forgotten the things in his bag.

Bless him. The shop can afford a few bits of veg, perhaps should have handed him a nice bottle of brandy too ! (Joke)

Seems he lives a healthy lifestyle. He loves tomato and onion soup I think. Yum.
