This isn’t a weird news story but I thought I would still highlight it because it’s pretty dumb of the sales person to allow a potential customer to load himself with jewelry.
Don’t tell me the shop does not have an armed security guard at the door! Even Malaysia also have mah! Although most of the security guards here are past their retirement age, still, they make a good prop at the door of jewelry stores with their rusty rifles.
So Canada, it’s time to learn something from Malaysia. Or perhaps you should send your sales people to common sense courses!
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Memo to jewelry store clerks: it is best to let a customer try on just one item at a time.
A Canadian sales attendant learned the lesson the hard way this week when a man strolled into an Edmonton, Alberta, jeweler and asked to see several rings and necklaces, one after another.
Once he had loaded himself up with thousands of dollars worth of trinkets, he made for the door.
Police said the man was last spotted by store and mall security staff grabbing a taxi.
Allowing customers to weigh themselves down with jewelry is “certainly not something that we would recommend as it didn’t turn out so well for this store,” Edmonton police spokesman Jeff Wuite said on Tuesday.
The suspect is described as 6 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing about 250 pounds (113 kg) with a Chinese symbol tattooed on his neck. The stolen goods are worth about C$10,000 ($9,800).
