:warstory:
Years ago when I worked for the HBC Northern Stores....
Was preparing to say something on the PA system & had the mike "on"
was watching a "lady" with her child, coming down the aisle and I must say that the kid really wasn't making her life easy.
Anyway, she swings into the next aisle and, when the kid isn't cooperating, she gives him a real big yank to bring him round but, cause the yank was so violent, kid comes flying & smashes into one of the shelves/fixtures & does a great job of hurting himself. Lady turns round, yells at him, cocks back her arm & lets him have a big "high five" right across the face... As the kid breaks into an immense "wail", I blurt out onto the PA system "Hit him again, he's still moving" >
My staff just looked at me with shock & disbelief while most department managers all make tracks towards the office to see what the comotion is all about ;D
Lady grabs the kid, tucks him under her arm and doing a pert good immitation of a Linebacker, makes tracks for the nearest exit..... After giving me the most withering glare she sould muster
If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime is all I can say >
