Theft?

[Corey]

So, I went to Big Lots today to get some CD holders since I have a massive collection of movies now. I was walking by one of the aisles and got cut by a jagged edge. There just so happened to be a conveniently placed aloe plant there. I broke off a little piece and rubbed some juice on the cut to make it better. BIG mistake apparently. They blamed me for theft on taht little piece of plant. I even put the little stub back in the pot holder thing. Not really theft... But a "You break,you buy it" kinda thing. I ended up argueing with some fat bitch over how I wasn't gonna pay 15 bucks for some stupid shit ilike that. Long story short, I dropped a buck on the counter and walked out. Said I can't come back unless I pay them the fee of that dumbass plant. Fucking Big Lots. So, should I pay? I don't go there often anyway.

I'd sue them for their shelving cutting me. That would shut that bitch up.

Meh. Not worth it. Don't think I'd win anyway. Nor do I have the money for a laywer. Or the initiative for the work that goes with it.

[Dinosaurman]

I would have falllen on the floor holding my arm and moaning.

"the pain,the searing fucking pain!!"


Thats just me tho.

[crusher]

I bet you aren't the first one this happens too. It's just to convenient. The jagged edge, the plant, the bitch demanding money. THIS IS HOW THEY ARE FUNDING THE STORE! :O

lol.

I'da actually go and get my fucking dollar back.

[Cosmic]

Did you tell the woman about cutting yourself on the shelf? If so, what happened was messed up. I don't see how anyone with a modicum of intelligence could blow up at you over that.

I would've threatened to at least. Or I would've demanded that they write up an incident report. Whatever you did would've been quickly forgotten in the face of that. Hell, if it didn't happen too long ago, you can still do that.

Honestly, I don't know why the hell you didn't throw that in her face straight off. It doesn't make what you did right, but she wouldn't have been as likely to pester you had you made sure to mention that you cut yourself.

[Evans]

If I'm gonna have to pay for it, be assured I'm gonna leave the store with it.

As for the shelf, I would have pointed it out.

Then, I'd have kicked her, screaming "this is aloe vera!"

[Elmdor Rizer]

I think you should go back and give her 20 bucks, then when she asks you why you're giving away those five extra bucks you can tell her you stepped on some grapes on the way in, and that you're even. Oh, so owned.

[MasterOfGravity]

Plants cost 15 bucks these days? damn, I have to get in on this plant business!!

[SegNin]

Wait, don't plant leaves grow back?

[Evans]

Plants have leaves? O_o

The medicinal properties of Aloe vera have been known, and recorded since biblical times. It has been used for a variety of ailments, and as an ointment for burns, cuts, and rashes, as well as an ingredient in various beauty preparations.
The sap of the Aloe is a thick, mucilaginous gel. It is this gel which is used medicinally. The outer skin has essentially no value, but because it is commercially easier and less expensive to utilize the entire leaf, 'whole leaf' Aloe juice has been hyped as the 'best'.

Apparently, they do

[skakidd]

you should go back and say you got ripped off, find that aloe plant again and take 1/15th of it then roll up your sleeve and rub it on the cut from the shelf, while the managers there, and say that you demand some retribution for the emotional stress, harassment from the lady, and pain from their inadequate shelving.
