Shopping made easy
People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before- especially in large shops. A directive recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the directive to watch her .The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dress in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the directive found out that the assistant was her daughter, she ‘gave’ her mother a free dress once a week.
