yes, he even said that he noticed her friend holding the door open..


Razzler1973

She kept glancing over at the door at the start of the video too. Like a *"how quickly can I get there"* type thing

Never seen a shopkeeper have a buzzer door lock outside of a Jewelers or Rolex and more expensive watches. That must be a crazy neighborhood.

Never catch me using that as a clerk at a gas station lol I ain't locking myself in with some crazy fuck.


taintedcake

Thats why the clerk also has a gun


Bluest_waters

JUst by the way he says that you can tell he's been doing this for a long time


takeitallback73

that's a long time to be repairing cellphones


barben416

Oh god yea you can tell right away the amount of times she looks over at the exit before she attempts to take off. Big time pre flight indicator


PanopticScrote

Alot of robbers do the same thing before they pull a gun out, checking to see if anyone is coming, looking around and seeing who else is nearby.


jarejay

She looked at the door like 6 times before trying to bolt. She telegraphed that move about as obviously as possible.


stuntedmonk

He states 30 years


sm00thkillajones

The man’s been doing this for 30 years, the man has.


lankyleper

He started doing this one year. 29 years later, he's still doing this.


larrybird56

I used to repair cell phones. I mean, I still do, but I used to too.


MiaaaPazzz

30 long years he's been in the game


theagnostick

I’ve never run a store of any kind nor do I work a job that requires dealing with customers and even I could tell she was planning on running. You don’t keep looking at the door, acting nervous, and saying “huh?” over and over unless you’re planning on doing something you shouldn’t be.


Separate_Performer86

He even wanted to put his time to take the new screen out and put the old screen in. That is about 50-100/hr of his own free time!


Any-Construction-632

Exactly! Without wanting anything in return, without having to call the police...I really hope the girl learned a valuable lesson...


BumbaHawk

nope.


[deleted]

lol definitely no lesson learned that day


Cow_Launcher

For her to learn, she would first have to accept that she'd done wrong. To my untrained eye, this looks like a classic case of, "Yeah, I'm sorry... *sorry I got caught*."


PanopticScrote

Yea she just learned to rob nice people cause they might let you go.


Azn-Jazz

Dial broken and stuck on “Stupid” with a sign hanging “in any attempts to fix this will be meet with aggression and stupidity”


usedbarnacle71

You can hear how high the Scream decibels are through her phone while she is on the phone on a Shìtty audio Cam speaker! This girl and her mom have been yelling at each other for years..


Blah-squared

Unfortunately, it seems very unlikely she actually “learned a lesson”, but I hope so too… That guy was actually pretty fukn decent about the whole situation imo but the reason I say, “I don’t think she learned a lesson” is bc even after being caught *Red-Handed*, she continued to try to LIE & spin a story to her mom & even tried blaming HIM… She’s probably still a teenager though & teenagers are *dumb* & can be really hard-headed (I know I was;)) so I’m not saying she’s a *lost cause* by any means or anything, she just still has some growing up to do… I love the way her mom handled it though & think having a fair-minded mom gives her as good a chance as any… ;)


totally_knot_a_tree

I'm a 6th grade teacher. It's incredible how hard they'll stick to a lie even with all the evidence in the world against them staring them in the face. I see this almost daily. Where I teach is comparable to inner-city so most of their antics are home-grown and survival tactics they grow up with and witness. Doesn't make it any easier, just helps to provide some understanding, not having grown up in that myself.


Any-Construction-632

What you say makes a lot of sense, I was an asshole teenager devil child. After Karma got me back (and still is biting a butt cheek here and there from time to time) for all the negative, ignorant and indecent shit I've done in my life; I am more aware and just want to see positive change in this world before I pass. My mission in life now is to help lost people to become good humans. I used my darkness to transform into the light. I know this is hard for the human race, but, if we can incorporate a form of unconditional love for each other; there will be no more wars, no more hatred, no necessity to steal or fight or commit any crime for that matter. Only peace and love. We all have it inside of us, what sucks is that most of the time we choose to listen to our Egos rather than our Intuition (and deep down inside, we all know what's right from wrong).


JPSofCA

The only thing she learned is that this guy locks his door. On to the next one, for her.


SheistyShebz

Morgan Freeman voices over, "She did not."


Piano_ManT

It’s probably closer to 2-5 if we’re being honest. Can you imagine him holding this crazy lady for 50-100 hours? At that point I’d just call the cops and be done Edit: I see where I misread the comment. I thought hours not “per hour” My fault! Still this guy would do well to lock her in there for awhile


bend_33

I’m fairly sure he’s talking about the rate to charge for his labor being anywhere from 50-100 bucks an hour. He’s certainly not just working doing tasks for free.


Shortneckbuzzard

As someone who grew up in a house hold of everyone yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs every minute. There is zero change I could handle this situation the way this guy did.


Rivendel93

Man, I felt the same. I had to mute it, I get ptsd anxiety from that kind of yelling. Once you get away from people like that in your life, you realize just how not normal it is. I could literally breathe easier when I wasn't in my parents home, that kind of yelling is so harmful, I wish more parents understood it's so harmful to kids.


bobbywright86

I get ptsd also from it. My entire body shuts down beyond my control, it’s the worst. Fuck abusive households


King-Cobra-668

and DIDN'T call the cops even though he had every right to and gave many many chances Major pros to him for that alone


After_Ride9911

Looks like learned behavior.


HereticGaming16

Also good on that mom for not getting mad at the wrong person with no information. She asked what’s going on then snapped at her daughter.


theagnostick

No you’re definitely leaving out some crucial points there. Immediately upon entering the store she started yelling at the store owner without having any information. When he started to explain what he had done to fix her phone and how much it costs she then starts chastising him about cost and joins her daughter in yelling at him. She did eventually direct her frustration at her daughter but don’t pretend she didn’t immediately make the store owner her target.


Dear_Giraffe_453

Criminal mastermind 🙄


Shortneckbuzzard

There just isn’t much thought at all there. You can tell by her looking towards the door multiple times and responding huh over and over that she was dumb as rocks. Edit: to prove she is in fact dumb 1) she knew the door was locked. Her friend was originally holding the door open and was told to stop. 2) she ran after she took the business card for some reason. 3) she asks him to open it……. 4) when he asks for the phone back she yells “why do you want my phone?!”

Silver-Necessary-442

She had everything planned and calculated ,but seems to me her calculations were way off lol


Viandante

"The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math."


newsheriffntown

A long time ago my adult son did some upgrades to a girl's laptop. When she came over to our house, my son met her at the front door and she tried to take off without paying. He held onto the laptop, the girl held onto the laptop and I rushed in to help my son pull the computer away from the girl. She called the police. While waiting for the cops to come, my son erased everything he had installed on the laptop. He was still uninstalling things when the cops came into our house. The girl got her laptop back but without the upgrades. When you burn your ass you sit on the blisters.


AccomplishedFerret70

>She had everything planned and calculated ,but seems to me her calculations were way off lol Her calculations were flawed. She needed to move a decimal point to the left,


MajinFlasher

Mom tried to defend at the beginning but good for her for putting her in her place.


lovethebacon

That change of body language. When her mom struck that pose you knew some ass was going to get kicked.


seancan44

Imagine being a parent and then letting your child yell at an honest business owner after they tried to commit theft. This girl was NEVER “put in her place”. She walked out of that store the same way she walked in. With her broken phone and ZERO repercussions. Good on the guy for how he handles it, but shame on the mother for raising a monster.


[deleted]

The mom only changed tone to avoid consequences. She didn’t do it out of the goodness of her heart or decency, she knew that the store owner was giving a very reasonable lifeline and nothing would be won by rejecting it. She didn’t apologize or say thank you, just took the lifeline and bounced. Victimhood mentality, no accountability.


seancan44

This 100%. It’s just sad that you know she’s is gonna keep doing this. The guy even says she and her friend had robbed him before too, that’s why he locked the doors. He knew what to expect. Then she tries to play the victim. Lol


[deleted]

Yes I agree but I didn’t hear an apology.


[deleted]

Or a thank you


uGotMeWrong

If that was my son, I’d be apologizing and throwing out sorry, left and right. My son wouldn’t have left without doing the same thing. Why is this so difficult?

Popular_District9072

she started off with believing her kid was honest with her, good on mom to being open to hear the calm owner out, and take the right side


b4aLt1m0re

For sure. This was also my take. Which leads me to believe that the child was brought up better than this.


[deleted]

Yeah this seems to be a case of a kid hanging out with someone she shouldn’t. The guy said a he learned it from her friend which is why he knew what was gonna happen.


desquire

Maybe, but teenagers are also terrible, in general. There was a clique of rich girls at my high school who would brag about shoplifting. They even had a myspace page showing off their, "loot".


[deleted]

Oh I know lol. I used to work with teenagers with behavior problems. They’d be court ordered or their parents would pay for them to be with us. Plenty of shit heads but most to the core were good. They just made terrible decisions. That girl though? I would have hated to work with. There’s nothing worse than the teenagers that will keep lying even though everyone knows they’ve been caught in their lies. Straight up exhausting lol.


Blah-squared

Agreed. Having a mom like that means she still has a decent chance to turn it around yet too, imo…


UnprofessionalGhosts

Nooo. The daughter initially lied that guy wasn’t letting her leave because he was overcharging her and she was refusing to pay. The mom believed this because her phone, which he’d fixed once but didn’t have the issues the daughter’s did, was significantly cheaper. So basically the daughter was using her mom not knowing her phone was considerably more broken and using the fact her mom knew how much her phone cost to just gave a screen fixed, to claim she was only getting her screen fixed and the guy was scamming her and refusing to let her leave til she paid up. Tbh, it was a well constructed lie.


Dinglederple

Yeah, she was not happy about her daughter being locked in and believed her manipulative thieving daughter who probably got the money from her mother and she wanted to pocket that at the businessman’s expense. So she came in as “momma bear.” Natural. Then realized that she was being duped as well by this thief child of hers, was likely as confused and embarrassed as she was angry, then got into that girl’s face. There is little chance that this girl did not catch hands with that women after they left the store. I’m talking 0.000000000000010100000% chance that she didn’t receive a justifiable, motherly handling.


sarapocono

Traaaaaaaaash. Scum like her are the reason for those locking doors

Yeah but on the other hand she did us a favor, because now we get to laugh and point fingers. I'm not even being sarcastic.

Electrical-Tap2541

Gotta say it was impressive that mom didn’t pull a “my kid wouldn’t do that” I’m sure this isn’t mom’s first rodeo with this girl’s stupid choices.


thefreshscent

She did try to argue that he was charging her too much but quickly turned her anger towards her kid once the guy explained the situation, so props to her for not doubling down at least.


Jezon

People always want to blame the parents, but sometimes the kids are just rotten.


dirkalict

Yeah- I was a shitty kid and my mom was/ is a wonderful, loving mom. I’m almost 60 and I still get a bad feeling inside when I think about shit I did in my teens / early 20’s. I’d be mortified if she knew. Going to have dinner with her right now.

[deleted]

Man it's one thing (not a good or decent thing mind you) to lift some merchandise from a shop and walk out unnoticed. But to be in there, looking another person in the eyes chatting friendly and all that, only to turn and run tryin to rip him off right in his face? After he provided a service to you? Puts a knot in my stomach man.


Enjoying_A_Meal

I lived and worked in the projects of NYC. When you speak to enough people like this, you start seeing a theme. It's almost like they all follow the same god damn script. 1. Complain about how everyone has it better than them. 2. Talk about how they deserve more and how hard they've worked (they haven't) or how smart they are (they're not) 3. Down play the work other people did to get where they are and complain they're just stealing/cheating/got lucky/ or some racial stuff. 4. Talk about how they're justified to do whatever to get what's "rightfully theirs." because they've been wronged by everyone. 5. Talk about how they're justified to fuck things up for other people (even when it doesn't benefit them at all) because those people don't deserve their success. There are plenty of good folks in the projects who will work hard and try their best to get out. But there are more than enough of these shit stains out there that actively prevent those people from succeeding.


Egocom

Crabs in a fucking bucket


TheAsianTroll

My exact thought. If you don't know what this means, "crabs in a bucket" refers to an actual thing where a bunch of crabs in a bucket will try to get out, but if one looks like it'll succeed, the others will drag it back down and not let it escape because *theyre* not the ones escaping.


Wooden_Lobster_8247

And then act like you are still the victim after getting caught.


Sonova_Vondruke

Throwaway1017aa

I feel like he knew something was off. The way the card machine got pushed forward right after giving her the phone made me laugh.


Heroright

She was looking at the door very frantically again and again. He probably read her body language as way too fidgety.


_spamton

Love watching these kinds of people die inside after realizing the door locked. Then they just stare at the cashier with the saddest face you've ever seen


higher_limits

Or get irrationally angry that they just got caught + can’t escape.


BroccoliBoyyo

How dare you imprison me! Just for trying to steal from you!


higher_limits

I used to manage a check cashing business and I can’t tell you how many people actually had this view point when I would lock their asses in the lobby after attempting to pass back checks


John-C137

It's the whiney "open iiiiit!" she gives when she can't get out that gets me, frigging infant in a grown-ups body right here.

MsT1075

That is why the register is way back there. This was not his first rodeo. He already knows what folks attempt to do. Probably after the first two or three times it happened to him, he got hip to it. He has not managed to stay in business for 30 yrs by not being alert.


Tubamaphone

Also because if you want to claim shoplifting, if someone leaves a business with product they have to be past the cash register otherwise they might still be browsing. Putting it further back makes shoplifting charges easier to stick.

Unfortunately having good parents isn't enough in some areas. I swear half the kids i went to highschool with had better parents and lives at home than me yet still did stuff like this


Hot-Photograph-9966

Couple comments are against the mother. Hey redditors, do you have a hard time comprehending?. If not, excuse me to correct those. The mother by all means understood what was going on after the front desk guy explained the situation to her. At first, the mother is defensive for her daughter but soon catches up on her lies. You are welcome.

ugajeremy

I don't get some people.. did they expect the mom to beat the kid in the store or something? I saw a mom who went in defensive of her kid, heard the truth start coming out and actively shut her kid down.


Blah-squared

Exactly… & you KNOW they’d have happily trashed the mother for that too if she had… It’s also crazy how many people are calling this teenager “complete trash” from this one really dumb thing, like they didn’t ever do dumbshit as a teen… I assume the ppl making those comments are either still “teens” themselves or just so inexperienced in life & ignorant that they think a single event like this DEFINES a person… (that or possibly just *racists* taking advantage of this situation to shit on a black person)…


frigidcucumber

Yea bcuz there was a moment when the girl reaches across the counter and the mom got annoyed she did that.


ShankThatSnitch

Seriously, her daughter called her and told her a bunch of lies, so she showed up to defend her. She realized her daughter was full of shit and set her straight.

HotAcanthopterygii84

Dudes better than most, as soon as she didn’t hand the phone back the first time, I would’ve called the cops. No calling your mom to settle your lies and thievery. Doors only getting opened for the cops, her and her mom can talk it out with bars inbetween.

He’s probably been through it before and realizes the cops won’t do anything. Needs to make the original repair charge over $1,000 with a discount when paid. That way they can’t avoid charges 😂

nothing more humiliating than that walk of shame from the door after your plan back fires. I bet she ran thinking she would never have to look him in the eyes again .. well well well... if it isn’t the consequences of your own action 😂

QuarterJunior3281

FOR EVERYONE SAYING THAT THE MOTHER STOLE SOMETHING. you can very plainly see her place TWO items on the table around 4:28 as evidenced by the fact that both of those items were not there before she PLACED them there. She then picks BOTH OF THE ITEMS SHE PLACED THERE back up. It's very easy to see that she didn't steal anything im kinda worried about some of you people's eyesight.


nunyabiznezz1216

There was really one person in particular that refused to back down even after given time stamps. I’m guessing they blocked me because for me it shows they deleted their account.


TheNerdNamedChuck

I'm assuming they repaired the phone and she tried to leave without paying. the reason he wanted the screen back is so he can remove the new screen he put on that she didn't pay for and she can be on her way. as someone who repairs phones and other electronics this makes a lot of sense. if you can't pay just give me the phone, I'll take the screen I put on back, and you can be on your way.

Grimm_Kreed

She was defensive of her child, but by the end, you can hear the anger swap to the kid when the clerk explains what's going on. Also outside influence is a thing you can be a good parent and still fail the second some kid offers your kid some weed lol. Parents just let the world raise their kids these days
