Well, being to lazy to do research or think much right now, the first thing that pops into my head (other than 'this is so B.S.') is If someone walks into my place of business and starts pulling legally purchased products off the shelves without paying for them, I'm calling the police! |

These products are usually bought on credit or paid for after they are sold. Besides what do you think the cops would say considering the curcumstances? If I were the cop I would laugh As loud as those members of the so called religion of peace did about murdering thousands of people including fellow religion of peace members |

Bob: I 've worked in retail my entire adult life, and now work in the corporate office of a fairly large regional hardware store chain. Yes, these products are usually "bought on credit or pay for after they are sold." And yet, if anyone, including the vendor, starts pulling product off the shelf without permission, they will most certainly go to prison for strongarm robbery or commercial burglary.
The story is complete and utter bullshit. Deal with it. |

I DON'T THINK THIS IS VERY GOOD DOCUMENTATION TO DISPUTE A STORY LIKE THE ABOVE.
Can't you do better; these are not convincing...in fact sound like fiction! |

Oh, dear god! You are such flame-bait it's not even funny. I can see now that these forums are going to need moderating. Such a shame. |

Actually the vendor IS responsible for the stock on the shelves in most cases. They typically pull stock from the shelves for any reason, recalls, out of date, mislabeling, too much stock in the store. |
