OMG, that was actually painful to watch, I was cringing at how foolish he was making himself look. He has no idea how idiotic his behavior was. Unbelievably unprofessional and immature.

Did they actually say that with a straight face?

Tho my BIL used to work in a shoe store. He claims asking people their first name is a sure fire way to prevent them from stealing. I dunno about that, but he claims it works.

I could see that an attempt at minimal rapport to guilt them into not stealing. Pretty clever

When you care enough to spray the very best.

j/k, there was no excuse for him to pursue, let alone spray.


Does any commenting in this thread know what took place inside the store? There seems to be a bit more going on than what the video lets onto.

Why isn't he in jail?
I'm just wondering why also.

The store manager is not after having the shoplifters charged, perhaps seeing the pregnant status of woman, that's why he just went and talked to the girls. He just want to make sure that they are aware they've been caught and not to scam his shop again.
