I was shopping in the £1 shop and saw a young lad stuff chocolate bar/s under his top. I was really insensed by it, and said to the lad ' It's a pound and you've still got to steal it'. He just shrugged at me, though I got the feeling he was totally shocked that someone had actually had the nerve to say something. When I went outside to pay at the car park machine, he and about 5 other lads(big lads)suddenly appeared and surrounded us. I tried to look cool about it and wheeled the buggy around and told Ds to come along and we walked away. They didn't follow us, but it frightened me, though I didn't show it. Ds said to me ' you scared me when you said that to him mum' I asked him why and he said ' He might have had a knife and I don't want anything to happen to you or sis'. Poor boy(he's 9.9).
Can't stand thieves! and the words just came out. I'm fed up watching people nick stuff from the £1 shop...they'll have to put their prices up to cover the costs if it goes on! .
Is it so wrong for law abiding people to voice their disdain(sp) when seeing things like that? or is it just me being too honest?
