Shoplifter's corner

We can hide threads in certain sections (like the for sale threads). It'd be good if you would set up a shoplifter's corner which could also be hidden.

Every month or so we get threads from someone inadvertently (or not) stealing a product from a shop.

Then lots of posters appear saying that they don't think it is illegal unless the shoplifting is intentional. Which is complete nonsense.

The benefit to the rest of us of having a shoplifter's corner is that we can hide the whole topic, and the shoplifters can talk amongst themselves without disturbing anyone's peace of mind.

Please make it so, dear MN.

Whew - you had me worried for a moment there. I had you pictured as a modern-day Mrs Fagin! (Not really, honest).

I've got Tink so well shop trained that she just fills up the basket/trolley with anything she wants! She carries the basket for me if I'm only getting a few things and stands in the trolley if I'm getting a few more so she can put things in and load up the conveyor belt, then depending on how much we have I will let her pay - she also knows where the change goes, someone tried to give her the copper part of my change, she got cross and put it in my purse!
