WHILE SELF-CHECKOUTS ARE CONVENIENT, THEFT IS A BIG PROBLEM.

Personally, I've returned my items so many times due to long lines that I
entirely stopped shopping at Walmart for years, until I heard my local one
implemented a self-checkout lane.

It's understandable why some stores would be wary of installing these in a
location, however. It definitely seems like a shoplifter's dream come true.

Sometimes, just one dawdling customer in a retail establishment can be the one
thing keeping employees from going home. One Walgreens employee took matters
into his own hands when a customer was hanging out in the store 10 minutes
before the store's posted closing time.

In a video posted to TikTok by @thenidoqueer, they decided to give the customer
a "gentle reminder" that the store was closing, letting her know that they would
also like to go home that evening.

"Attention Walgreens customers, the time is 11:50pm," the poster says in the
video. "We will be closing in 10 minutes. In honor of Independence Day and the
land of the free, I would appreciate the freedom to be able to go home and relax
after a long day of work. Thank you for shopping at Walgreens, and have a great
night."

The reminder had the intended effect—the woman left when it was time for them to
close the store—but maybe not quite in the way they planned.

"She proceeded to book it past my CSA and not pay for any of her items at
exactly 12am," a second text overlay on the video reads.

The Daily Dot has reached out to @thenidoqueer via Twitter direct message, as
well as to Walgreens via email regarding the video.



Some viewers shared their own versions of the warning they would give to a
customer who was about to overstay their welcome.

"I always used to say registers get locked out automatically at closing so you
better hustle," one commenter wrote.

"Mine would be, we’ve been closed for 50 minutes, this is not back to school
season times so please leave so we can all go home," another commenter wrote.

"I would’ve said 'Attention Walgreens customers. It is 11:50pm,'" a commenter
wrote. "'If you don’t get out of the store before 12:00 am I will lock you in
here and go home.'"
