The Law & Order link brings you to the Sze story...
Hate to be all like that - but Company Bitch definately got what she deserved - that IS stealing, no matter what wet noodle justification one could float.
Detective Doe was all wrong in dealing with Company Bitch. Doesn't he know that company policy is strip searches for food felons like CB?
I'm with Gabe on the Company Bitch story. She did more than just sample/steal a meatball--she tossed a whole container of uneaten food that she hadn't yet paid for into the trash because she couldn't make up her mind. Plus, the signs clearly state "no nibbling."
The food bar at Whole Foods is a gamble. To start, get small portions of things, try them if you like them you know next time.
Alternatively, they could have some sort of tasting fee. Here is an idea off the top of my head:
Have small sample sized cups for the samples for those who want them, take the cups to the register with you, they count the cups, and charge a nominal fee (like 25 cents per cup).
And yes Company Bitch did more than eat a meatball.
that whiney Company Bitch! What chutzpah! She STOLE and then COMPLAINS that they didn't treat her so well. Who are her parents - the Gottis??
toby: not sure whether the cup thing would work because people could easily throw away the cups or leave them somewhere around the salad bars before they go to the register.
i agree with all the comments so far - she's in the wrong. if the sign says 'no nibbling', then don't nibble! they set the rules, you play by the rules if you want to patronise them. don't like it, then don't go to Whole Foods. end of story.
but Whole Foods really should make it clear that this is the punishment that awaits nibblers - once people have a clearer idea what's in store for them if they break the rules and get caught, then i'm sure they'll be more inclined not to do it.
She tasted the meatball, THREW AWAY the entire container of food the meatball was in, and then complained that a store detective told her never to come in again. She wrote this whole long blog entry about how she is a great customer and WF was now going to miss out on her business... *WTF*??? With great customers like that who needs enemies...?
Her commenters mostly agreed with her, showing that she isn't the only spolied brat in the blogosphere.
And notice she does not allow anyone to comment on her entries unless they are other bloggers already registered at Blogger... no wonder there's a prevailing stench of entitlement in those comments.
I can't believe there are over 90 comments.
And all are on her side, even non ny'ers.
