I used to work in retail, thieves suck. The ones who were obviously going to steal were also the ones who'd start yelling at you when you talked to them more than once.

Yeah and they are very likely to become combative if you try and "pull their hoodie"

Don't get me wrong...If it comes to that you should woop their ass, but its always better to avoid the fight if you can. Street fights don't look like MMA fights. They aren't fair. People get hurt.

LOL
Sorry my way of handling it upset you.
They have metal detectors first of all. And second sorry, but I have confronted soooooo many guys like this over the years, that you see it coming and your nice guy ways go right out the window. It has happened over and over again to the point where I am fed up with it and kinda want to get into it. My wife gets mad at me because I am married and have a family now so its not fair of me to think that way but over the years of people trying to steal, I don't know it just makes my blood boil and I kinda wanna kick their ass.
Sorry, thats how I feel. If I could have cracked him one with out getting in trouble I probably would have LOL

It's not upsetting me at all....I could care less.

All I'm saying is that since you have a wife and kids you may want to think twice about "Cracking" them because they might crack you back harder.

I'm saying its not worth it....I'm also not saying it ok for them to steal, but since you seem to have some sort of sixth sense for sniffing out thieves, you could do a little more to prevent the theft before it takes place.

But if it's worth being a tough guy....I hope your hand-to-hand skills are up to par.

Okay, first I should have never said anything about how much money I make in here.
Second, All I am gonna say is that their is many ways to make money when you own the business that "others" dont know about.

Please, in the future don't bring up my income again. Thanks

Hey... you offered up your income, not me.
I was under the impression that you owned a Construction Company or a warehouse or something like that... I never imagined that a peanut cart would gross a quarter of a million dollars a year... that, to me, is a lot of peanut because I can get a giant bag of them at Costco for like... a dollar or something. And all this time.. i've been sitting in this goddamn cubicle... making less than half that.
...
And... I get what you're saying about the "many way to make money in business that the others (cops/I.R.S.) don't know about".
Don't worry... I'm not going to say anything about those little bags of 'Rock Candy' *wink* *wink* that go for 20 bucks.

You got him all wrong - it's Gypsy-trafficking. He specializes in exports.

Gypsies? Is there still a market for gypsies? I thought they went out of style with drawstring pants and Earth shoes.
I guess... you never know.

Okay... okay... settle down, Beavis.
I was just wondering how a popcorn wagon can generate over a quater of a million dollars in sales, all right? I just read an article about Ice Cream trucks that sold Meth and Crack as well as Dreamcicles and Push-Ups as *another means* to make money. *Another means* usually means something illegal. Geez... I sorry. I'm sorry I said things based upon things you have said in the past and I'm sorry I ruffled the ruffles on your panties. Now that you have explained yourself... putting it that way... then, yeah... It's a real rational reason to get into a fight over a bag of Caramel Corn.
