Something about her actions must have got their Spidey senses tingling because they stopped her at the bottom of the steps that are clear on the other side of the store from where the pizza station is.
It was the second time I saw someone get pinched for shoplifting. The first time was earlier this year. The cops where there. Guys had a bunch of stuff.
The new Costco in Merida has very visible guards throughout the store. Only the middle and upper classes shop there.
