Was in Sainsbury tonight about 5ish at was at the self service checkout, whilst doing my shopping this young guy roughly 18ish comes next to me he looked homeless in his apperance (if there is an apperance) i.e unwashed and very dirty clothes, anyway I see him put a large bottle of orange squash in his bag but put it through as a different item by manual choosing something cheap on the screen and not scanning it, of course the alarm goes off as the scale says something is wrong, this terribly young girl comes over and the guy gets all aggitated and a little uneasy, so the girl scans her card to allow what he is doing to go through, but I can see in her expression she can see something is not right but she seemingly ignores it. My moral compass is telling me to report it but then I think by the looks of him he clearly does not need anymore trouble in his life and if Sainsburys want to employ tender young girls on min-wage who feel they are not strong enough to confront this issue then why should I do it for them... But now having got home my Moral compass is making me feel bad...
And I expect I have certainly failed the "big society" test :(
