Don't you need an ID card to shop at Sam's Club in the first place?

That's not really funny dorkmitter.
He probably juked it from a thrift store.

Hudson police arrested a man who was trying to shoplift over $1,000 worth of goods from a Sam's Club with the help of store employees, said officials.

And they didn't arrest the employees who were in on it?

God I hope I get it! I hope I get it!!! How many t-shirts do I need!?!?!

Waiting for Follow-Up of said employees being fired for stopping robber.

vudukungfu: Don't you need an ID card to shop at Sam's Club in the first place?

No, just say you want to become a member, and they'll point you to the customer service desk. Then you veer off and go looking at whatever you want. I recommend it to anyone considering membership- know what you're getting in to. Also, if you come across a "guest pass," notice that it will add 10% to your total purchase, but you don't have to show any ID. A girl I used to work with had a stack of those guest passes and never noticed that surcharge. I guess if you spend less than $300 there a year, it's one way to go.

If you have a college student ID (and a .edu address), you will get a $15 gift card when you sign up, that offsets almost half the cost.

Why is the shirt funny?

When I read the first sentence, I realized that the terrorists were right.

Dammit! I came in here to point this out thinking that with 11 posts it wouldn't have been picked up on yet. I tip my hat to you sir.

Trance750: Now had this happened in Califoria and/or he was a minority, they would have been fired and the store would have paid restitution.

wut?

It isn't.
He should have used the 'Ironic' tag and failed all the way.

Okay, I'm gonna try and clear this up for everybody. "A Chorus Line" is a 1975 Broadway musical about dancers auditioning for spots in a chorus line. Mix that with the myth that gay people just simply loooove Broadway musicals and that's the joke. Actually, it doesn't sound all that funny explaining it, but there you have it.

$1k worth of Sam's Club goods? Was he discretely piloting a dump truck through the aisles?

Mugato: offmymeds: Mix that with the myth that gay people just simply loooove Broadway musicals

That's a myth?

Well, I just didn't want to offend any gay Farkers out there. I don't want to get banned again.

Mugato: That's a myth?

It's a "miss"
You have a lithsp.

LoneVVolf: $1k worth of Sam's Club goods? Was he discretely piloting a dump truck through the aisles?

That's a lot of pepperoncini, spaghetti sauce, and giant jars of pretzels.

I didn't get this, even after offmymeds' explanation. :(

"Kiss the day goodby, and point me towards tomorrow"... What he did for love.

Second Try: I didn't get this, even after offmymeds' explanation. :(

Oh we're the boys in chorus.
We hope you liked the show.
We know you're rootin' for us
But now we have to gooooo.

Second Try: I didn't get this, even after offmymeds' explanation. :(

Um, the guy is a thief. You don't usually think of thieves as Broadway afficionados.

NOTTHATTHERE'SANYTHINGWRONGWITHTHAT.

hillary: //haven't seen Spamalot, so I don't know if I like it

Oh, it's faboo.

But everything was beautiful at the ballet...

Congrats, you just did.

DOH!

The employees will probably be fired for breaking company policy.

Had to be a thrift-shop purchase...

Why can't they figure out how to spell his last name? One of the comments from the article page mentioned it and I had to go back and check...sure enough!

nekom: Not to sound like an internet tough guy, but I'm sorry there is no way in hell that any store employee will ever `detain' me. Sorry, if you aren't a uniformed police officer, or at least someone pointing a gun at me, you aren't getting me to stop for anything.

Of course I don't shoplift, so that situation is never likely to come up.

Your mom's calling you. It's past your bedtime.

I was a Sam's Club GM for seven years. I employed off-duty cops for LP. And Yes, I don't care how tough you think you are, if you shoplifted they would have kicked your ass as soon as you passed through the door and detained you for the cops to arrest you. I saw it over and over for the dumbasses who felt badass and gangsta enough to steal from us.

Mugato: Trance750: Nah. Now had this happened in Califoria and/or he was a minority, they would have been fired and the store would have paid restitution.

Yeah, those damned minorities always getting a free pass from law enforcement.

You were the GM and you condoned activity that is a huge liability for lawsuits?
