Shoplifting…New Image in New Economy


Shoplifting is pretty cut and dry. You really can’t talk your way out of it. The perpetrator conceals an item and walks off. And some celebs have even been caught doing it, so it seems there is no forgiveness or favoritism.

The shoplifting rage now is price tag switching in the fitting room. Don’t think it’s just young people. Think well dressed middle age people. Yep!

Defrauding by bringing a sewing kit into the dressing room to switch a designer label and or switching a price tag to a lower one are treating the same as walking off with the item. That can be embarrassing when you are walking off in hand-cuffs.

I have an idea for shoplifters…if the outfit you want is $180 and you can only spend $110, how about charging the difference on a credit card and paying it in monthly installments!
