Think Fast!

Have you ever seen someone do something wrong or act in a suspicious manner?  You may not think the behavior is life threatening, but it does look shady, or against the rules.  Did you keep watching?  Did you intercede?  Did you report it?  Did you try to talk the person out of it, maybe give the person a better option?
Examples:
You see a person eat the grapes at the supermarket, but not pay for the grapes.
You see a person switch the tags on  garments in a clothing store.
At a hotel, you see a person fill an entire, large personal cooler with ice from the machine, right under the sign that prohibits this practice.
You see a moving driver with his pet dog sitting between the driver and the steering wheel.
You see a driver who is texting or talking on the cell phone while driving.
One time at a grocery store,  I saw a person who looked like he was trying to put a roast chicken inside his jacket.   I only noticed because he kept handling the chicken, opening his jacket, putting the chicken back, looking around, and handling the chicken again.  I was so stunned that I did not know what to do at first.  Before I could think, a store security guard, who must have been  watching, moved in and handled the situation.  Unfortunately, I did not think fast.  What would you have done?
Take care,
Sylvia
