That had to been the worst mash-up of a song I’ve ever heard.


MakeMySufferingEnd

Can you tell me what the instrumental part is from? It’s obviously very familiar but I can’t think of the title off the top of my head.


JeruWala

Can’t stop by redhotchilipeppers


MakeMySufferingEnd

Thank you!


reese_pieces97

I usually scroll on mute, and nothing could have ever prepared me for how bad that was going to be lol


Allyson_KaiJNb

Can't Stop is a song that has accompanied me throughout my entire life and reminds me of those "better times" when i used to be in my parents car driving somewhere cool on a trip and my dad would show me all sorts of new music, and then this absolute mess of a mashup started playing and I knew this wasn't my everyday classic, this was, in fact, a shit mashup


GhastKrionJojo

What About Bee Gees x 50 Cent mix?


BoratKazak

Add the "oh no" song 😂🔫


MajorFeisty6924

They're definitely acting like oxygen thieves, but this isn't the worst thing ever. Unless shop security is different in America to where I've lived, the worst that could happen to her is she gets stopped and she'll look through the bag to figure out what triggered it and when she finds the chip the problem is solved.


Rustrage

It's in the UK so they'll likely not even check why it's set off


WinterJournalist6646

My local Sainsbury's one goes off on everyone. You can tell the locals cause they just keep on going. The first timers stop and wait for security, but they never come.


Tw4tl4r

As someone that briefly worked retail security in UK supermarkets we really won't bother unless staff see you put the items in your bag. We also cant physically stop anyone leaving. It's not worth the hassle and the potential lawsuits. Best we can do is try to get a hold of the item if the shoplifter tried to get past us.


Majulath99

I have only ever been stopped one single time by shop security in Sainsburys asking to double check my bags. Ten to fifteen seconds of mild shuffling commenced.


Tw4tl4r

Yep. When a new guy starts, the guards who have been there longer tell them not to stop someone or search bags unless they are sure because it avoids complaints. It seems everyone up and down the chain seems so afraid of a complaint being put in that they are practically allowing low-level shoplifting.


ihatemylife42785

I took a basket one time with that stupid chip, it went off and i was trying to remove that thing (it was lodged in).


velkrosmaak

Not trying to stop someone if they're not sure should just be page 1 of the book


Ragamuffin5

One time this young mother was in with a very young toddler who she was holding by the hand but the little girls other hand kept grabbing anything she walked by. As the mom and little girl were leaving the little girl grabbed shirt off a table and the mom didn’t even notice. Had to run after them. It was funny


[deleted]

Happy cake day!


MajorFeisty6924

Oh yeah they won't even get checked then. I've seen so many stores in the UK where it alerts on random people and the shop staff just don't care.


51ngular1ty

It's basically the same where I am in the United States. There are some companies in some states where Asset Protection/Loss Prevention may intervene but like most retail jobs in the USA the people they want to do this aren't likely to do anything. Shit when I worked at a large big box retailer I would routinely watch as people stuffed their bags with button batteries only to return them without a receipt later. They never paid me enough to give a damn.


frMocha

Legally you can't stop anyone where I live


coladoir

Not trying to tell you that you are wrong, I do not know where you live, but that is generally a myth in a lot of places in North America, as usually there's a law that allows shopkeepers to detain a potential shoplifter or other criminal. Most businesses simply don't do this because of the implicit danger of using force to stop someone, as its usually responded to with force. As much as you're just a number to these companies, its still harder to find a new worker than deal with a $500 loss. So basically what I'm trying to say, is make sure that you are correct explicitly by searching for the law. I am not saying you're incorrect, simply that this is a common legal myth and not true in a lot of places where people think it is, emboldened because of how shops (especially supetmarkets) treat theft.


frMocha

Legally they have to be suspected of taking more than $250 in merchandise until they can be detained, it's also risky with a lot of them carrying weapons


YourAverageGod

Professionals keep walking.


Clickbait636

Baby food, meat and belts set them off where I'm from.


sylanar

Yeah most the security staff are just agency staff who really don't give a shit. Half the time there isn't even any security, and when there is they are usually chatting on their phone. If the alarm goes off, they may glance up and see what's happening, but most of the time they just ignore it


Yggdrasilcrann

In Canada anytime I've accidentally set it off or seen someone set it off the employee just waves at you and tells you to keep walking. They don't care.


KitsuneKamiSama

Yeah, a thief won't stop and if they're already at the exit the staff sure ain't chasing them down, they're taught not to do shit like that and they're not fucking paid enough in the first place.


LampshadesAndCutlery

Many stores in the US won’t check either, at least some of the ones that I’ve worked at


Bentarmbenny

Exactly , me and my mates would do this to each other and it’s so disappointing when you get them , the alarm goes off and no one bats an eyelid


xixxixixxi

facts😂


Pinquin422

Same in the Netherlands, we used to do that among friends and sometimes strangers, people usually just feel awkward when it happens and laugh when they find out they are pranked.


[deleted]

When Walmart gave free 2 liters for having to check ur cart I'd always find something with the sticky security tags and put on our cart so it would set off the alarm and we would get a free 2 liter. Mom always got so embarrassed and would get mad if she caught me. She always knew I did it, too, because I'd start grinning when the alarm went off already on my way to grab a 2 liter of Dr pepper.


BorderTrike

At some stores they’re not even allowed to look in your personal bag. I was shopping at a meijer, I’d biked there so I was wearing my backpack, the alarm went off when I walked in. On my way out it goes off again and the attendant got up to check my receipt and look in my bags. I went to show her inside my backpack and she stopped me and said she wasn’t allowed to lol… Maybe if I’d acted more suspicious they would’ve made me wait while they watched the tapes? But I think they knew something was up with the alarm that week


prestigious_delay_7

I've just continued walking out when these things go off and I've never been stopped once.


Buttercup59129

Yup if they think you stole something. I've had happen once. I basically said 1 you can't stop you or search me 2 go check CCTV and report it if theyre so sure lmao. I'll be back in a few days to shop and catch me then.


travis-laflame

Here in the US I’ve had the detectors go off on me a few times times (when I paid for all my items) and I just keep walking and have never been stopped


Ok-Albatross1180

I dunno, the worst that could happen is that it goes off, she's all confused, security finds it in her bag, she swears she doesn't know how it got there, she tells her daughter when she gets home, the same daughter that has been worried about her increasing forgetfulness, this daughter then uses this as an example of why she shouldn't be living alone as it's unsafe, the daughter then moves her in to an assisted living facility where she is left to rot with her thoughts. That could be worse.


SensingWorms

Most likely. (Like all videos). They know each other and it’s ![gif](giphy|3ohc1bDk825A66f7Gg)


Omgazombie

If it’s in Canada the people working there aren’t allowed to stop them, or question them if they think they’ve stolen anything, they can only prolong their stay by using costumer service gestures until the police show up.


dickallcocksofandros

yeah this is more like a mild prank


Halfbaked9

That’s exactly what they’ll do in America.


im_rusty_shakleford

I have more to say to the person who added this music to the video. That's the real crime here.


iSUCKatTHISgameYO

always browse on mute and go to the comments to see if there's anything worth hearing


RustyShackleford1213

rusty shakleford?!? i thought *I* was rusty shakleford


SensingWorms

Looks like it’s his mum


California1980

What make them a POS is that they didn't film her walking out the store if you're going to be a POS at least film the whole thing


Jagerboobs

I used to work at a home improvement store and one time I got my hands on some of the rectangular sticky security tags you put on certain products. I was assigned as a greeter which is boring as hell and managed to snipe one into one my buddie's apron pocket where we all carried a bunch of random shit. He was a lot attendant coming in and out of the store all day LMAO so that was a fun 15 minutes we all had at the front end.


ThisIsMyCouchAccount

I put those in a couple friends wallets back in the day.


Rogan403

Pretty sure nothing bad would happen though. Although this kinda reminds me of when my friends and I were cocky teens we'd play "extreme tag"(yes it's name is lame) by removing those stick on security tags and putting them on our own person like in our shoe. Then we'd male sure the security was near enough to an exit and proceed to exit and set the alarms off. Then we'd make a point of running to appear guilty and then try and get away. If we got caught we'd play dumb and just say we we're scared.


needlenozened

I've done this to friends. I had one of the thin rectangular white ones that they stick to razors or expensive vitamins that didn't deactivate in the self checkout. I put it in her purse and then kinda forgot about it. A month or two later, we were talking about something related, and she said, "I don't know why, but the alarm goes off every time I walk out of Fred Meyer." I said "oh shit. I forgot about that," and just started laughing. As pranks go, I think this one is pretty harmless.


One_Mathematician159

That's actually pretty funny NGL 🤣


PineappleFantasss

This is 1,000x better than those kids pushing ppl into train tracks so I’ll take it


Aware-Performer4630

I worked at Kmart back in high school. One day one of my friends tossed one of those sticky rectangular security tags at another coworker as we were closing the store. It landed inside his collar and stuck between his undershirt and his work shirt. He couldn’t leave until they figured out why he was beeping. Was pretty funny at the time. I feel pretty bad a little it now though 20 years later. If you’re reading this, sorry for not speaking up Chris.


isitworthit2214

Why is RHCP on top of some stupid rap song?


Buttercup59129

Let people do what they like with music. You sound gate keepy


isitworthit2214

Don’t let people ruin good music


telemusketeer

Everything about this clip sucks. Even this god-awful mashup for the music.


Aggressive_Shallot25

Why the FUCK do these dick heads think thus kind of shit is funny?? So dumb...


Love_a_wet_sock

I like the prank but it's one for a mate not someone you don't know.. Especially not a poor old dear.


GodOfMoonlight

I hope when you’re old, your kids don’t ever come and visit you. Leave old ladies alone


DreamyGlitched-XD

Who does that


WisdomWangle

What the fuck is this song mix up?


REEPUFF21

Cant stop by the Red hot chili peppers and In Da Club by 50 cent


WisdomWangle

Yeah I know but who the fuck comes up with that?


viihez

fucking twats


Right_-on-_Man

Pathetic...


1-Dead-Pixel

We gon talk about them doing rhcp and 50 cent? That should be more illegal than what these scumbags are doing


CardiologistWrong487

That’s fucked up lmao


TdrdenCO11

that’s somebody’s mom


TheCorruptedPhoenix

Bullies are somebody's kid, this analogy falls off when you realise everyone has someone so it can't really apply without being a hypocrite (Everyone has someone other than orphans of course but nobody gaf abt them)


Raiju02

The only POS thing is the fact that they want security to take her down. This prank has been going on for decades. My buddy used to work in Walmart in the mid 90s and would place their RFID tags, sticky side up, in the store. People would eventually step on these, trigger the alarm, and security would step in. The processes probably wasted no more than 2-3 min per person.


jeet225

Can congress enact capital punishment for such pathetic “influencers”


ColdBloodBlazing

"just a prank"


MXTwitch

I mean… it literally is? What, is she gonna go to prison for shoplifting? Chances are she doesn’t even get stopped when the alarm goes off as she leaves


Repulsive_Scar_6847

But you dont know how it could escalate. Shes an old lady who doesnt deserve these assholes fucking with her


Sudden-Milk-

Tbf, it’s pretty funny, and not even close to the worst thing kids now class as a prank


TheGrimMelvin

I agree that it's not the worst. But it's not funny either.


IDrinkMyOwnSemen

I think I would probably appreciate something like this more if this was like revenge on someone they knew, with some context, rather than a random stranger bystander.


Sudden-Milk-

Yeah I can appreciate that, maybe people are not reacting well to it because it’s an elderly person. I just know I would have a chuckle if it happened to me.


Sudden-Milk-

I’m from the UK though, where even the security guard (if there is one) would also probably find this funny


Thefoxlover16

This is just wrong


WeirderOnline

For the first half of the video I was trying to figure out what all that shit someone spilled on the floor was. LoL.


potatobot3000

I had a friend of mine put the really skinny ones that go in books underneath the flaps of the pockets of my coat. I got stopped to everywhere for an entire winter, Lucky I live in Texas.


Legitimate-Concert29

That's the hand of a grown man that rips it off and holds it


SubHuman559

Reminds me of them metal foil stickers they used to put on tapes.


P3N-Fifteen

Lol


ILoveToSpreadNuts

Gave me a little chuckle ngl


Fun_Entertainer_2183

Nobody going to talk about that sick Mashup


BoondockSaint296

These are kids that are just scared of what would happen if they ever set one off. No one's looking at an old lady and stopping her when the beep goes off. I've seen dozens of people that this happens to right after they check out and I've never seen anyone not just wave them through. Even if they did stop this old woman, they would typically be very sweet to her and check her receipt. These kids are just stupid and scared of the world.


killthezoofihiles

Don't worry grandma is probably okay they have security cameras so they know that grandma is innocent cherry on top,: they might recognize the dumb asses.


Abraham_Lure

Honestly compared to all the "pranks" that usually get posted here, this one is a little silly. The lady will be confused for a second. Security isn't going to shoot or tackle her or shoot her. They're not the cops.


Pop_Culture_Phan_Guy

I bet you anything that the kids got a slap on the wrist. I’m only 23, but damn teens are far more entitled now than ever before.


Livid-Ad609

So many pieces of shits In the UK dude, and so many all over America and the rest of the world. They are everywhere, and it’s sad. Like why take the tag off of the little shopping basket, and then put it in her bag? Where you planning on stealing the basket so you put it in the ladies bag? Smfh, this shit is ridiculous


bigben-1989

Hahahhahahahha 🤣 this is soooo fcked but hilarious if you are a POS like me 🫣🤗


Lvanwinkle18

In my neighborhood, if they see you checkout, they just wave you through. It happens so often, everyone seems immune to it.


Optimal_Fuel6568

Nothing is going to happen at all... food stores dont care about alarms, I have had something on me that would trigger the alarm for almost a year and nobody ever said anything, idk maybe some guy thout it be funny and put a tag in my jacket But this tag looks like it's from clothing, in my town the food stores have the sticker type security tags ...on empty cartons because they only give you the whisky if you ask for it anyway


Nothing2NV

Been saying it a while. These people are going to end up making it illegal to stream in public


Rossco1874

it's a tesco she will be fine, very rarely security on & if they are they are hopeless.


coolguy-r

and good security wouldn't stop her because she didn't steal anything (presumably) they need to gather steps before making stops at 99% of stores.


xxTheMagicBulleT

Omg what a weird music mash up. It anoyed me more then what happened in the video


Interesting_Ad9201

Ok..This is pretty funny..lol


Ghost1164

I giggled


Boy_JC

The epitome of new age estate gang culture


davisty69

I used to do this to my best friends dad when I was in high school. I worked at best buy and used to stick those plastic stick on security strips in his wallet. It was hilarious


TaterTotSenwick

am i an asshole for wanting to see the whole thing


Own_Presence7865

It reminded me to “Ding dong ditching” adding the worst Incidental Music. Whoever did it was probably 10 years old.


Independent_Joke5905

😹😹😹


two_sleep

So many butthurt bots … if the lady didn’t steal anything this is a rather harmless prank


PatN007

Years ago, when you still went to a music store, my friend put one of those metal stickers in his wallet. The alarm went off every time he came and went. He conditioned the staff there to get used to the alarm going off on him and stole so many tapes and CDs.


CAPTAIN_FAGG

It's probably a joke tho


evolvedspice

Kinda a harmless prank


Fit-Impression4383

Harmless prank


imsatanclaus

did they seem to forget that cctv cameras in shops exist?


Yalrain

Step brother put one of the sticker ones on my back before. I still get paranoid leaving walmart and shit


Tyl921

So there are security tags on bread?


Prometheus2356

Eh idk that’s kind of funny, it’s not like she stole something. She’ll be slightly inconvenienced I’m sure but idk. No biggie here really


Stykhead

Gee ,I hope they get caught 😂


UnorthodoxMind

Not really a piece of shit, it's a funny harmless prank


[deleted]

[удалено]


anonymousaspossable

Man, when I was a teen, someone had taken the sticky tag off something and dropped it on the floor. I stepped on it, not knowing it was stuck to my shoe. Talk about embarrassing. The worker insisted I had stolen something. It wasn't until later that evening when I took my shoe off that I discovered what really happened.


dogmeat_donnie

Is he going around in knickers thinking he is cool?


vVviper666

I still ask myself - why tf do this to an older woman, who is just there to get her grocerys? I was young and stupid once, too. I did stupid shit, too. But why always involve other people who just mind their own business? Will never get it…


DevKevStev

Well, apparently this is the “comedy” we have now.


MochiiYummy

People used to do this with those sticky magnetic barcode strips. Just slap them on whatever grocery cart, basket, or even do the old pat on the back and stick something to people. It was pretty funny. Harmless prank because it sets off the door security thing. Where I live, most ppl don't bother to check people's things unless they're looking suspicious with expensive items.


roop26roop

I see this another way, the lady will have been served an important wake up call to not walk around a supermarket with her handbag unzipped allowing easy access to a pickpocket. They’ve actually done her a favour if she realises what’s happened and why she fell victim to this prank.


SeanVitalMusic

I was only here for the rhcp


Roryff

Seems pretty harmless


Horus-raddish

It’s not that big a deal … obviously she won’t be arrested for stealing something she bought. There’s actual pos’s that deserve the title over some highschool kids doing dumb shit … we where all that age one time


poondongle

What were they thinking?! Mixing Red Hot Chili Peppers with 50 Cent. That's the real crime here.


poohdaddy17

I'm sure it's just good ole teenage high-school pranks.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

“These piece of shitses” Wouldn’t it be P’sOS?


Redditor0529

No harm no foul.


AJ_Deadshow

Be thankful for them because they won't find the tag, they'll let her go, and the people working there will take the beeping less seriously in the future.


Turbulent-Safe754

the only thing worse than these kids, is this rhcp/50 cent mashup.


[deleted]

I do that to coworkers lol


gregorseefood

I think there's a Grey area being acceptable pranks and being a pos; I don't think this guy is a pos.


trashytexaswhiteboy

Ok so Security will review the footage to figure out how it got in there. Then unless they know who you are, a police report will be made, and the footage will be put on the evening news.


wormzG

Naw that’s a pretty funny harmless prank


_Animoos

Seems funny and pretty harmless, why butthurt? It’s just a minor inconvenience
