St Christopher's Friday afternoon

[siousxiesue]

If you were the guy waiting to be served this afternoon, in the big shop (the manager on the till was busy with a customer) and you banged your coins on the counter and called out very loudly 'I need serving, I have money to give you' and you then stormed out.

well done you. Be proud of yourself

The person who stole a woman's wallet from her bag while she was handing in several bags of donations on Tuesday can feel even better about themselves.

What utterly disgusting behaviour. Some people are really the lowest of the low when it comes to how they treat other people.

Lets hope karma takes care of the worst of them!

One can only hope.

This is getting rather pettish. I am sorry that somebody had a strop. I've had many in my time and I am not proud of it. But there are also lots of good things going on in the world, and I am sure that I have done a few nice things in my life. Why do you feel the need to start a thread here? That is what the Daily Mail is for. Happy thoughts please.

I do like Karma though, what comes around goes around.

Karma has always been a con

Sort of victim blaming

[Elphinstone's Army]

Alice : late night philosophical thoughts :

Karma takes too long - some people are fire proof and/or leave a trail of destruction behind them -

also, doesn't Karma need to be hooked into a collective consciousness? which precludes villains as

they have no conscience?

The first post here I read as incomplete - at least he left the coins - and if a certain person was

behind the desk exercising her 'how slow can I go' deliberations then I am not surprised a non valued

customer 'stormed out'

He certainly wasn't the first - I have been waiting patiently with a queue when a man accused of all

manner of nefarious activity involving returning/purchasing was attempting to pay, took ages to sort out :

another time, a man

wanting to pay for a black tie and a jacket to attend a funeral that very afternoon

of his friend, died suddenly, why are you asking him fool questions, take the money,stop causing a bad

atmosphere, stop judging, making comments, there is a queue here and this man is distressed! He left the

shop in a hurry, all composure gone.

His wife stepped

in and paid, the queue encouraged it.

People 'storm out' of shops to make a point which St C main store would do well to consider.

And stop

Customer blaming, accusations, humiliation of the same and understand that

Charity Status does not a holy state confer : that as a shop, with customers, providing funds and

donations, to call someone out on a public forum is not a kind or productive way to do business.

The original post is petty and pearl clutching, shock horror, he stormed out - but he left his coins, didn't he?

The management changes regularly in this shop although there are regular stalwarts who do their best, the book ladies especially.

To rob from someone's bag is wicked and criminal.

Thieves abound here, from vehicles to wallets, animals to buggies. An assumption that as we are decent

law abiding folks treating everyone respectfully with an expectation that this value will be reciprocated needs

adjusting.

You know when you get served first in the pub but you point at the guy next to you who you know was there first, and the very next day it happens back to you :) That's Karma.

The self entitled guy who thinks he deserves to be treated as a priority so often gets left to last.
