Lang ago when yuh had dem department store, dem had people used to go in dere and push things in dem bags. Dat is how yuh had to establish bag bays. Even dem government stores used to have to step up bag bays.

But dem bag bays never stop people from stealing. In fact, some people used to be fraid of leaving dem bags in de bag bay. Dem was afraid somebody gan go and shoplift dem bag from de bag bay. It happen!

Shoplifting nah gat nottin to do with a person’s economic circumstances. Some people just wicked and like to steal.

Deh had people used to go in dem store like a magga dag and come out like a barrel. Yuh did want know how dem put on so much weight in so short a time. Dis is no joke.
