And the alarm went off

Everyone looked at me... so I looked back and they looked away :D

Then I gave a look to the person who served me saying:

" Next time take the bloody tag off right or I'll break your face "

Then I walked out... annoyed my friends who work in Sport Soccer... I asked for a size 14 in those Ice Skates... then walked out before they got back.

Then got bus back home.

Heh, is your local store Reading? Cos that's exactly what happens there! And the staff are stupid, they don't know what is setting off the alarm.

I remember walking into HMV once (it has a huge entrance, as it's a big shop) just as some girls grabbed a load of the "new release" CDs right at the front. A security guard ran up, looked around, then got on his radio and asked for some security to guard the entrance. Oh how I laughed

At my local EB, there are games on the wall next to where the alarm is. Therefore, whenever anyone takes it off the shelf (and sometimes when they don't), the alarm goes off for about 20 minutes at a time....

I bought TOny Hawks 3 on the GBA and I bought it from Dixons and the alarm went off.

At the Dixons where I live, the alarm goes off every five minutes by itself so they don't actually check you if it does go off when you are leaving. Very handy...

They're the unworthy ones, trying to make us young ones look like thieves. Pish! Arf!

I rember ages ago when i was about 10 and with my older cousin and his mates (around 16 they were i think). Anyway, the alarm went off in some shop, i don't remember which it was but the group of them refused not only to be searched, but to be touched :S They told them to feck off and call the police. And they did. Don't remember alot of what happend after that. One thing i do remember was some women tried to take me away and search me while they were not looking, because i was only 10 i didn't say anything but my cousin saw me and pushed the lady over while she was putting her hands in my pockets :S I remember we didn't go to a police station or anything, the police came found nothing, we laughed at them for wasting there time and walked off. I think thats how it happend.

Yeah, the staff in MK HMV are tards.

"Do you have any copies of Withnail and I left?"

"Wha?"

"It's a film. Surely you know it?"

"Wha?"

I hate it. I go to Virgin most of the time. And I didn't know you lived near MK. Whereabouts?
