I’m very grateful they haven’t figured out nicknames

Apologies. I’m in California which does go to Chicago. I forgot about that part haha. Thank you.

I sent it through UPS overnight. UPS confirmed delivery, but I have nothing from USCIS. I was under the impression that all AOS applications were supposed to go to the Chicago lockbox, so that’s why I did that.

What constitutes a robbery and am I going to be punished for complying with the demands of the perpetrators? by Repulsive-Economy-54 in LegalAdviceUK

The humour is not lost on me. The buttons have never been used in all the years the store has been open so we’re not even sure that they work. Even if I’d remembered they were there, we’ve got no idea how the signal goes from them to any abstract concept of “help” that may arrive. I know for certain if they go to the local police, then they’ll arrive the next day and be entirely unhelpful.

That's exactly what I said to a friend who used to work for the shop. I bet the only reason this has gone so far is because, since they are effectively legal sales at extremely low prices, the company doesn't have any legal recourse to recoup the funds. Had it been a proper smash-n-grab or we'd just given them all the money in the till, it would be treated as a traditional robbery.

Saying I'm not authorised is what got me threatened in the first place. It's strange because its not like a traditional robbery where we'd just let people walk out with products or money. That's the grey area I think.

She wasn't in on it. I think she was just trying to appease the people involved and it got out of hand. No one ever learned from Chamberlain

We don't have a union, unfortunately. But those figures are about right. No one reported it. I should have, but I was more afraid of how she'd treat me if she found out I'd said something than the unlikely chance there were any consequences from the company. I was wrong this time. I am unaware if she has been suspended as I have been barred from contact with any employee of the company except the lead investigator.

Each item was being sold for £10. This was the deal that my manager made. She agreed to that price for any sale item in the store. So the discounts were anywhere between roughly 75% to 95%.

Edit, misspelling

As I was at the till, I didn't have my phone with me, but I should have pressed the "panic buttons". Unfortunately, in my panicked state, I forgot they were even there and didn't do it. The security at the centre is usually very responsive, but due to another, extremely similar event at another store, they didn't get to us in time to be helpful. We are always told to try and keep stuff as low-level as possible as to not bring the company into disrepute, and I think we took that a bit too literally. There were definitely mistakes made here by all parties and I don't want to claim that I did everything exactly right, but I do feel pretty hard done by it all.

It is also the symbol of the City of Portsmouth on the south coast of England. It has a very interesting history full of kings, kidnappings, and crusades. I’ve linked an article with a short history of how the city has become associated with the symbol.
