Theft

Ferrari · 01-13-2006, 10:18 AM

One of my girls caught a 16 year old stealing a packet yesterday. We refunded her tanning session and asked her to leave. What would you recommend? Call the parents?

Should have called the cops to set an example for stealing at your store.

If you call her parents there is a good chance they are going to defend her and turn this around on you, then you have to deal with that mess also.

I woudl call the parents and explain the situation. They should know. Maybe their 16 yr. old is going to the mall a lot?? I would make them aware of it and say there are no hard feelings, you just thought they should know. If a business called me and said one of my children stole, I wouldn't defend the child and go against the store owner. I would let the owner know I appreciate the call and at that time, I would sit my child down and tell them to tell me what happened,......"I know everything so don't try to LIE your way out of it!"
BUT, that's just me.

I agree with cayenne. I would let the parents know about the situation and tell them that you handled it on your end but thought that they should know since maybe this is a problem elsewhere. She is 16, calling the cops on her will do nothing but make her "look cool" to her friends.

I wouldnt return anything, especially someone who steals!

I would refund nothing and let her parents know what she did and is no longer allowed in your buisness.

yeah, NO REFUNDS. It wasn't YOUR fault that she stole something, so I would definitely ban her from your salon, and since she's young I wouldn't call the cops, but I would her parents. Now they might be the my daugher does nothing wrong parents or they might be I don't give a **** what my daughter does parents. Either way you've done your part to let them know whats going on and why she can't tan there anymore
