  • Fight communism and stick it to the man, all while enjoying menial gains through petty theft! This informative and entertaining video will show you all you need to get started.
    Part 1 in a series based on vintage training videos I snagged from the grocery store I worked at before they went out of business.

    They totally forgot The employee that just grabs something from the stockroom and then returns it. They touched on it by saying a customer would do it but often times an employee would just do it and then it would only be found out at inventory time. A great way to make an extra 50 buck$. Besides, Radio Shack didn’t need my help going out of business. They did that shit all on their own.
