i went to return one of my presents that didn't fit today (and to see what kind of boxing day sales there were) and i got pick-pocketed. they got 100 freaking dollars. and it was probably some stupid "like this is totally cool and rebelious" 15 year old airhead who spends all their time at the mall. dammit. just thought i'd share.
That sux! sorry to hear that, I always keep my wallet in my front pocket so my hand is always over it. I quit going near the mall in September and don't go near it till after New Years because of the traffic and the crowds. I hate it! Bustramp
i dont ever go to the mall. but thats the only place my present could be returned. usually i only shop at local businesses or ebay.
Are you going to report this to the police and/or the mall security office ? I'm sorry, that sucks real hard.. I hate the mall too
antoine, no i'm not cause i was there for awhile and i'm not positive when it happened. it wasn't like i was mugged at the time and mall security is stupid and worthless. i called and left a message with lost and found, but i doubt anyone would turn in the money they took.. haha
I went and I saw this evil old bitch I went to school with a few years ago and she was telling her mom someone came up and stole her purse with over $200 in it. Her parents FLIPPED. I liked that. After walking around the mall like 3 or 4 times, I only wound up with 1 shirt, a hair band, and Blonde on Blonde and Ani DiFranco's newest cd, Reprieve. I did not like that so much. I wish I coulda found more clothes... Guess who's hittin up the Wal-mart tomorrow?!
sorry to hear about that! i would be pissed. i hate malls too.. i usually just go, get what i need, and get out!
That's a shitter... I cannot stand malls. I never keep more than 20$ on myself, I do not like money as it is... walking around with it is even worse. Having a debit card has made my life easier... I spend money in great amounts without really noticing it disappear and never loose it.
I try my best not to go to malls.... but when I do, I wear cargo somethings and keep my wallet zip/buttoned/velcroed away Sorry ma sucky way to spend the day after christmas
Man, I can't even bare looking at that thing. I still have the confirmation stuff in it for Norfolk/Pearson because I haven't felt like looking at that thing. And people wonder where their money goes... Food Court $4.39 Fanny Pack $5.99... That really good hand dipped incense you always have to have that they sell at every mall in this hemisphere... $4.00 A day at the mall being followed by people you're not sure you know (for some reason, someone always thinks they know me and follow me around until I'm just about to leave, then they confront me...)--priceless.
Why do people bother carrying cash anymore? You can literally pay for everything with a card, it's fantastic.
i usually only use my card for things (except the bars, thats a cash thing cause its easier to control spending then), but i got a bunch of money from my birthday. of course, if you get your card stolen, the person can potentially get a lot more of your money.. (until you call the bank)
Well i almost always pay cash even if i have a debit card because with my credit union (Desjardins the biggest in North America) you need to have at least 5000$ in account if you don't wanna pays transaction fees everytime you use it... That sucks , especially since it is a co-op and that i am one of the owners (well i've got a share)
Well, I've got one with Sun Trust. I only had to put in $3000, except they don't have transaction fees.. if you put more than $3000 into electronic checking/debit they don't tax or charge anything against you.
