After sharing this tramatic experience with Runegirlie, I figured that it would be appropriate for me to share my story with the rest of the world, so maybe they can learn from my mistake. It's a story of deceit, and lust, and much deception.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First, some background information. I work at Hecht's within a shopping mall as a salesman selling men's clothing. This job sometimes causes a great deal of stress, as I am standing for hours on end and dealing with sometimes very impatient customers. By the time luch comes around, I'm neurotic and half-starved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm working the late shift, 1:15 to 10:15. Lunch is at 6. Finally after hours of folding clothes and arguing with a woman over a three dollar difference in two pairs of swim trunks, it's time for me to eat. I clock out and walk out of the store towards the mall food court. Behind me is the pretzel shop. To the right of me I see Dairy Queen, Boardwalk Fries, some Chinese place, and a Wendy's. To the left there is a Chic-Fil-A, Charlie's Steakery, and a Japanese place. Oh yeah, there's a pizza place too. I decided I was in the mood for a Chicken Teriyaki sub, so I go to Charlie's Steakery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before I can make it to the register, I am confronted by a girl handing out coupons. -Buy one regular sub, get free french fries-. Free french fries? Sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I make my order, a Chicken Teriyaki sub sandwich with free french fries. The woman at the register hands me my carton of fries as I wait for my sandwich. I watch as the young man at the grill loads up my sub with chicken, cheese, onions, and teriyaki sauce. My mouth begins to water as I munch on my fries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The man finishes my sub, and it looks delicious. He goes to wrap it up in aluminum foil when suddenly I notice him looking at the order screen. I watch in amazement as he walks over to the fry pit. Woah! He doesn't realize I already have my fries! As quickly and discretely as possible, I jam the remaining fries into my pant pocket and throw my shirt over them to conceal the goods. He returns with a piping hot carton of fries. I know I shouldn't accept them, but the vision of another free order of fries burns in my brain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My hands tremble as I take the stolen fries and my sub sandwich. I can barely utter the words "Thank you" as I take them in my hand. I know I can't get caught. I take a left to the restrooms, and duck into the hall which leads to them. In a squatting position I take out my original fries and eat them as fast as possible. I throw the carton away in the bathroom trashcan, and go out to the foodcourt to eat my lunch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So there it is. Previously, I had never stolen anything in my life. But now, that record is tarnished. Oh, and one last confession....the fries tasted better stolen.

They're at fault :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is why you don't have two people serve the one person.

You filthy, despicable creature! Go write a letter of apology now! :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nah, that's not bad. 1) You didn't actively steal anything, you were just given more than you paid for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) the fries cost the company about 5 cents, and I'm sure they just made a customer for life out of you (face it, you'll be going back, won't you).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) they didn't better coz they were stolen. They tasted better coz they'd only just been fried, where as the others had probably been fried 10 mins before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4) You just made me hungry, I'm off to lunch.

I actually believe that you didn't steal anything, all that was. Was a lack of communication between the staff. It's happened to me a few times. They made the mistake, so you only accepted free goods.

They gave you permission when he handed you the extra fries. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now what me and my friends done when we were younger was stealing. Little screwdrivers from a hobby shop... (There were 5 of us in at once and I reckon we caused confusion.) :oops:

grand theft fries, I have evidence on you, I'm calling the police!

 

 

 

:lol:

 

 

 

Your worked up, over a mistake in an order?

Haha nice story tomato.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remember last year I was in a shop buying two small bottles of coke and something else. The woman on the counter only put one bottle of coke through. All I thought about was getting a free bottle of coke at the time, but now I think it could be the same as theft :shock: Maybe I should have told her :P

id expect betterr of you, but you give stuff away i gess that makes up for it. :wink:

I thought at first this was going to be serious. Then I remembered who was making the topic.

I really want subway now :(

What a rotten Tomato you are!

 

 

 

Not to say I wouldn't have done anything different...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just don't make a habit of it. One day it's fries, the next, it's blueprints from NASA.

Haha, I thought you were talking about a real crime at first :lol: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crish, Mayjest: I would call that stealing thought. Tomato knew they didin't knew they were giving you extra fries. So you didin't have the permission to take them really. It would have been different if Tomato wouldn't have knew he had 2 fries either. But him knowing about that he should have had only 1 fries makes it stealing. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remeber when I stole something first time in my life, I don't remeber the candy bar taste almost nothing, I ate it in such a hurry. :P

If you had refused odds are they would have threwn it away. No one would have been any happier. Besides, fries rock.

:lol: . yes yes, tomato has a life of crime now. join the maffi! i'm sure there is some kind of maffi for fruits and vegtables....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

nice story lol. i think I stole a drink once, was a cup that was just there on the side of cinibun, so i got it. :oops:

I had a similar oppurtunity, although i didnt take it..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was in a local kebab shop with my friend and the owner was talking to what seemed like an old friend when i entered. Well he took my order and started talking to his friend again, he was paying more attention to the friend than my food. So he gives me and my friend the food, my friend pays him, and he goes back to talking to his friend. So im left holding kebab and chips for free. I think naw, and say

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'S'cuse me mate, but i aint payed for these!'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He just says 'oh yeah, thanks alot, really thanks alot!'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made my feel nice inside. :D

you are obviously new to the business.

What a post Tomato...what a post. The long, dramatic telling of your french fry stealing. What can I say, I am ashamed! You've gotta make a movie about this someday. And when you do, you have to promise to pay those poor fry guys at Charlies Steakery back!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for me, well I haven't really stole anything, lately. I've stolen once in my life, which I realized afterwards what a mistake it was. I was in grade 5, and we stole a few "Warhammers" from a local store, 40 blocks away. Those things are little metal figures, costing about $20CAD each, and we stole a couple. Got away with it of course, but looking back, it was a really stupid thing to do. In fact, I gave my Warhammer away. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bmw

Actually, in my experience, if you tell them that they gave you an extra order, they'll just give it to you anyway since it's already prepared. When that happens, you get free fries AND a clean conscience. :P

It's a bit different when it's a local shop as that basically what he would make his living off. But at some fast food place the workers probably wouldn't even care that some fries were missing.

i was at a pizza hut picking up pizza with my brother...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

there was a sign by the mints it read:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"one per costumer"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i took 3 :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

only thing i ever stole :lol:

You know, you're the kind of people who make my breath smell after a meal and consequently revolt women :evil:

lol nice story Tomato.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whenever that happens to me I just think of it as an advance on when they mess up my order the next time I come in there.

:lol: By how that started, i thought your job drove you to insanity and then to stealing something big :lol: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trust me you did nothing wrong. Now if your like the person i delt with a week ago, its stealing. I was to run a bag of stuff out to a car for the drive through (im at wendys), and they say first car (well there was a car out front, above where people usaly are to wait.) So i gave it to them, and even asked if they did order it, and they said ya (they had like 2 burgers, so i thought they just didnt get everything). So i go inside, and then the women in the car behind me gets out and comes in "why did the car infront of us just get their order when we have been waiting longer?"... I felt soooo bad, but my manager said it happens....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOL but dont worry, some fries dont matter, just dont accept full meals.

Tomato, I'm disappointed in you... :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hehehehe, when I was playing Final Fantasy VII, I stole from enemy creatures I was fighting :D ... and then I killed them.

I may be a dirty scoundrel theif, but at least I'm not a theif SLASH murderer!

Lol. Nice story. But, you didn't steal anything. This has happened to me a few times, ordering things from McDonalds or Wendy's. They just gave you a little extra. :D
