'Me? I just enjoyed the show': Cashier catches a thief, alerting their store manager when a shopper tries to return a $50 stolen board game; shoplifted gets banned for life

When a retail employee catches a thief in the store, suddenly, all of their wildest work fantasies come true. They no longer need to remain quiet and polite in the face of an angry customer, unleashing the pent-up retail rage of the last few years in one fell swoop. After this cashier noticed something fishy about a repeat customer's return, and they realized that they had been stealing, returning, and re-stealing the same $50 board game for months.

Caught red-handed, this thief wasn't going to be getting freebies anymore from the local game store, and a retail employee finally got to see some justice.

Stealing from a small, family-run store is not just petty crime, but it says a lot about who you are as a person. Any adult living in our modern society knows how tough it is out there for small businesses, and with a dwindling interest in pricey board games, their sales margins are not great to begin with. Come on, we've all seen the Hallmark movies where the big city corporate girl goes back home and falls in love with the local shop boy. It's not pretty out there for the mom and pop shops!

That's why, when this cashier turned into a SKU detective, they simultaneously became the best vigilante in town.
