Finding proof
Augustine stopped Julia before she could head for the exit. Cutting to the chase, Augustine asked if he could take a look inside Julia’s bag. He told her that he got a tip that someone saw her shoplifting.
Why would she steal anything from a store that she loved and frequented? She opened her bag for inspection, confident in the fact that she was innocent. But it did not take long for Augustine to retrieve a liquor bottle from her bag.
The banishment
Julia was shocked. She claimed it was impossible. Why would she shoplift a bottle of liquor? She did not even drink alcohol! But Augustine had seen enough. He had a zero-tolerance policy for shoplifting and there were no exceptions.
A crowd started to gather around them as he held up the expensive bottle of liquor. The bottle was found in her bag and to him, the evidence was clear. He informed Julia that she was banned from the grocery store from this day on.
