Free Bagging

During a group interview, I asked the candidate to explain why she was no longer working at a store listed on her application.

She said she was fired for free bagging - that the store didn't approve of it.


The interview continued.

However, I wondered to myself - what in the world is free bagging?
So, I went back to the question. And, asked her to explain. 


Turns out free bagging is putting stuff in your friends' shopping bag they haven't purchased. They purchase 1 or 2 items, but end up taking home 3 or 4 or more items - without paying. In other words, stealing.

She seemed to have no shame about the practice.

I guess it's no surprise, we did not hire her.
