I knew I forgot something in my previous post...the most important incident that I THINK I saw happening at JoAnn's.
I THOUGHT JoAnn's opened at 10:00 Sunday morning so I left my house about 9:45 to get there when they opened. When I went up to the door mall security opened the door and asked me if I was there to walk the mall. I said no that I wanted to shop at JoAnn's and he said they did not open till noon. So I went back to my car and was sitting there debating if I wanted to walk around in other stores that were open for almost 2 hours or go home and come back at noon. The back door of JoAnn's was right across from where I parked and I saw 2 people coming out the door carrying crafting items...not bagged but in plain sight. One of the ladies glanced at me but proceeded to get in her vehicle and drive away. Fast forward to noon.
I found all of my fabric and took it to the cutting counter and here is this lady...she gave me a strange look but said hello, what are you working on...blah blah blah. So then I started making small talk with her asking her if she sewed etc. I told her that I have been sewing for years but also enjoyed doing a lot of crafty things...which she said she did to. Then the shocker...another employee walked over and said that someone was on the phone and wanted to speak to a store manager...which I found out that SHE was a manager.
So that explained why I saw her leaving the back door with all of the stuff and I watched her put a key in the lock and lock JoAnn's back door. Was she stealing and able to get away with it since she was a manager?
I have shopped at both JoAnn's in my area and as of yet have not had the checkout person unfold my fabrics. But I agree that if someone wants to steal...that would be a great way to do it. I must be an idiot because I would have NEVER thought about doing that...or maybe I am too honest. lol
