I cannot believe the nerve that some people have!
I once worked with this one girl who use to go eat the lunch of other people right out of the staff fridge! She lived beyond her means and didn't care about anyone but herself! How can they live with themselves? 3Frog |
They have no morals.

Scissors and rotary blades and locked up at our local Joann's.

Use to have people open blades or knifes to peel tags and open packages, You want to say "hello can't you keep up w/the first one you stole"
Have to wonder if the carpet folks that can't find them at HF are taking revenge. (hmmmm) just kidding !! These have endless uses, hate to admit but have scored plexi with one, and yes, the blade was toast afterwards. :) |

No problem, I could easily remove the rotary cutter and slip it back in through the opening. I examined it and looked if it had been used. There was no lint or anything on it and it did not show wear. Now the test. I tried to cut some quilting quality fabric. Nothing! It did not cut anything. I pushed and went back and forth. Still no cut fabric at all. It appears to me that some one bought this cutter, took it home, cut the hing part off the plastic mold around the cutter, slipped the cutter out and switched blades, then brought it back to the store. Ugh!!!!! Lets hope it is not a quilter. I thought as a whole we were pretty nice and decent people. I also think this person has been doing it more often because I was trying to buy a rotary cutter months ago at another Walmart close to my home but there was but one cutter and I noticed it was open in the same area. I did not buy it and left it. Sick! Just be on the look out quilters and check before you buy.

Pathetic!!! I can see stealing food to feed a family, but rotary blades? Give me a break. And better surveillence and more security drives the prices up even further than they already are. Viscious cycle, huh? Just waiting for overworked, understaffed help to get locked items when you are in a hurry is also a hassle. Hence - I shop online a lot.

You do know that Walmart has a gazillion cameras all over the place - what's funny is when you see some "stupid criminal" on the evening news, their whole crime "caught on tape" with everything they did - their faces in plain view... guess they don't see the cameras, huh?
These are probably the same people who aren't getting permission to show their quilts...... |
