Here's your sign!

today i had a mother and a son walk out of the store with books...

I stop them and say: "did you pay for those yet?"

and he replies with, "I have fincancial aid."

"You need to purchase them here before you take you books out of the store!"

"Oh... I didn't know that."

this is understandable.
They assumed since they were paying through financial aid that they were free (because they didn't have to pay out of pocket...)

I get it!

But when I make a sign posted on both doors stating:

Ooops!

Did you purchase your books?

Whether you're paying with cash, check, card, or ANY form of student loan/financial aid,

YOU MUST BUY YOUR BOOKS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE!

Thank you!

I would assume that it wouldn't happen again...

but it did.

no lie.

immediately after I posted the signs,

a father and son walk out of the store with the books

and again (not five minutes after) I ask:

"did you pay for your books yet?"

same excuse.

:(

hello, rush.
