Saw an elderly woman walk out of Trader Joe’s without paying for her groceries - some veggies, bread & two packets of ground turkey. I didn’t say anything to employees. I think stealing is wrong but she must’ve needed it.

Yes it wrong but I would have not said anything. If someone is stealing food that really means they need it. I can’t image a person who has money just walking to trade joes and saying let me steal today for the fun of it.

I agree. I felt really sad for her

Possible she needed it, and also possible she has an issue like dementia and forgot to pay. Also likely that a staff member noticed and let it go - TJ’s is usually crawling with staff, especially this time of year. Thanks for being compassionate and not saying anything.

^ My first thought was she may have forgotten

Or it could be dementia, I would’ve paid for her - never know what’s going on.

I worked at Whole Foods for 5 years while I was in school. Theft was a pretty even 50/50 split between people stealing something like a bread roll and a block of cheese ( clearly hungry ) or wine/liquor. Almost nothing in between.

Quite likely, the woman simply forgot to pay. Could be a case of dementia or related. In any case, it's a matter for TJ's and store management to deal with.

Is she was elderly, maybe she just forgot to pay? Elderly people tend to be forgetful.

It has happened to me twice. Seeing someone walking away w/out paying.

The stress of this job ruined my life.
The stress has lead to an eating disorder that I can’t get control of. I’ve lost 25 pounds since starting at the firm two and a half years ago. I am 20 pounds less than I was in high school... I don’t know how to get control again. Even when the stress lays off I can’t eat more due to being used to being busy for almost 9 months out of the year...

My neighbor is a bit creepy/lonely (?). He comes over to chat when I’m outside working on the house or doing yard work and doesn’t catch on too well to social cues. He’ll mention small details about my routine or new changes to the house (just moved in). It’s a bit uncomfortable and I’ve had a few awkward moments with him already. Anyone else have any odd or awk neighbor experiences? How do you dealllll when you just don’t want to interact?
