Man Charged With Petty Theft After Leaving Pop Under Cart
Man Charged With Petty Theft After Leaving Pop Under Cart
Tom Sturgis has a long receipt showing the $157.20 worth of two grocery carts full of groceries that he bought at a Brooklyn supermarket Saturday night. After going through the self checkout, Sturgis said he forgot a $4 case of pop* under the cart.

That is obscene. It should be obvious to all that he made a simple mistake. A mistake that happens all the time as mentioned in the article.

I've called it "pop" for years. I guess the guy forgot about "Bob".

"He turned around and offered to go back in and pay for it and the cop told him it's like robbing a bank, you just can't get caught robbing a bank and say, 'I'm sorry, I'll give you your money back.' "
That cop is a prick.

If things like this are such a big deal, why even bother having self-checkouts? Heck, when I was a cashier I'm sure I made the odd mistake like this - I'd hate for it to land me in jail.

The cop may be a prick, but the store manager is a bigger prick. He should have stepped forward and said not to worry about it.

The cop says it's like robbing a bank? Fortunately, it's possible the court may not see it that way.

No, it isn't anything like robbing a bank. It was a simple mistake. I've done it myself.

(I call it pop)

Has the update. He stole it. He knew he stole it. And he should get Double the fine for lying to the media to get the store in trouble for it.
