I’d imagine that a single refund totaling $87,000, from a supermarket, would raise a red flag or two.
That just sounds like what a couple avocados cost.

I get all of my Faberge eggs at Kroger. They usually go for around that.

You must shop at Whole Foods.

If my guilty viewings of Supermarket Sweep have taught me anything, always go for diapers and ham!

I mean depending on the store… $1 million bucks would be a weeks worth or more of gross income.

When you’ve made a million dollars in two weeks, and there’s a paper trail, you really should cash out and move to Tahiti with a forged passport before they nab you.

Well, quite. I’d never bother anyone again if I stole 2 million and got to somewhere sunny with no extradition treaty.

This is just funny. I hope this guy only gets a slap on the wrist. Stealing from kroger not a huge crime. Petty at best.

It’s a poorly managed company that 1) lets a teenager do returns without at least supervisory sign-off, and 2) doesn’t require the store manager to personally come down and verify both the original $87K sale and the return before allowing it. Sheesh.

1 million in 2 weeks? That’s not criminal, that junior executive material.
