Shopping @ OG? Becareful......
-
if they have outside items then they jolly well have to expect pple to take items outside to shop unless they have clear, obvious signs and announcements
-
nah
seldom go oG -
Even NTUC also have items on sale outside their shop.Originally posted by hisoka:if they have outside items then they jolly well have to expect pple to take items outside to shop unless they have clear, obvious signs and announcements -
abit wrong leh, have you thought about it, the trays with goods were outside. whcih means that as soon as you take up the goods that is outside OG, and hold it in your hands , you are busted...Originally posted by nanren4ever:Oh, you mean you shouldn't pay first for things INSIDE the shop, before proceeding to go OUTSIDE and look for other things, even if it belongs to the same store?
Maybe the guy should have done the above first to avoid misunderstanding. The reason why the security guards didn't listen to his explaination is probably because they have encountered thieves who tried to crawl their way out of the same situation.
But Police not bothering about his explaination too? Makes me wonder. -
exactly, but reasoning will tell you that the info given by stiomp author is wrong.Originally posted by hisoka:if they have outside items then they jolly well have to expect pple to take items outside to shop unless they have clear, obvious signs and announcements
Og doesnt put their good outside.
secondly, if above were to be true,that goods wwere being displayed outside, then the people(buyers), approaching the fitting rooms which are inside the store, going in and out of the store would sound the alarm, wouldnt it be VERY noisy??

what can the other side of the story be?Originally posted by freakass:We only heard one side of the story. Fullstop.

its not the first time this happened in OG.. the security guards will REFUSE to hear any reason at all.. too eager to claim credit...
-
it's only common sense to pay then walk out of the shopping centre.
cant really blame the security guard.
but then they could have asked him to pay and let it pass lor.
that man must have felt very embarrassed. -
That is why studying is very very very important.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:That stupid OG officer refused to listen the explanation. f**k him la.
From this, I can deduce that the officer is not well educated as any person with higher level education will 100%%%% listen to reasonings.
The security guard probably couldn't make it past primary school, thats why no common sense. -
The most important thing to do now is to clear the name of that poor guy.
Both parties are at fault. -
are you sure they don't put he goods outside?Originally posted by davidche:exactly, but reasoning will tell you that the info given by stiomp author is wrong.

thats the main issue isn't it? and they could disable the alarms if they wanted to, thats if they have it at all entrances + if there was beeping the man didn't hear it?
sure its only one side of the story but it does oepn alot of questions -
Depending on which type of police you meet... Some of them can be really rude and refuses to listen to anything you say or explain... The same goes for security guards..
-
I visit OG @ Albert frequently as I stay near the area. They do put many sales items outside, like mattress and pillow cases, T-shirts, etc. These items don't have tag and they have a cashier counter outside.
-
Some places, like for example,
I went to AMK Hub NTUC last Sunday and happened to see the "censor barriers" which are supposed to sound when someone take unpaid mechandise through it.
The thing is, the barrier is too short.
Just hold the mechandise higher and poof, you're gone.
Popular, and libraries have those too. And I tried taking a book over the barrier in my own school library and I can pass safely. [But of course I put it back later
]
Is OG like that too? [Now, comes the use of CCTV ] -
In this country, the system work this way. If you break the law for no matter what valid, holy reasons, the fact is you have broken the law. As long as police is called, you will be charged.
There was once a CID told me that his job is to arrest and prosecute the person who broke the law, not to judge whether he is innocent or not which is the job of the Judge and Court.
So once you are unlucky, you have to use time and money to explain yourself , like spending time in Police station, discussing with your lawyers few times a week which will mess up your normal working routine, paying a big sum of money to the lawyer to mitigate for you which is still guilty, or worst pay a bigger sum of money to prove your innocent which might not be that high chance.
Guess nothing much you can do, just treat it like walk out of the house and step onto dog's poo. -
lets boycott og la
-
so unfair... must be raciest security guards... -
I think OG is too much, they let other ppl sell things at their corridors. Then ppl will definetly tot is the same one mah.
Sometimes, we must admit, there are really sotong shoppers out there.

An angry Marcus Tan sent in this email to STOMP:
To All Happy Shoppers :-
Beware of Traps With Outdoor Sales Items OUTSIDE Department Stores egÂ…OG
Shoppers enjoying their year-end shopping should be VERY CAREFUL not
to be trapped!!
My nephew was shopping at OG Albert Court on the 30th Dec 2006. He
picked up a packet of singlets that he wanted.
He proceeded to the outdoor areas, HOLDING THE PACKET OF SINGLET WITH HIS RIGHT HAND EXPOSED, to buy a pillow displayed outside. As he passed out of the store, the Alarm soundedÂ….the guard came and brought him to the office. They refused to listen to any reasoning, Especially the FACT that the packet wasn't hidden in any bags BUT EXPOSED VISIBILY ON HIS RIGHT HAND. . Who would want to display something that they have stolen so visibily????.Â…..IT was a GENUINE MISTAKE!!!! But nobody cared. The police were called in and he was taken away HANDCUFFED IN PUBLIC !!!!
Please advise your Esteemed Readers not to be trapped by this situation.
Marcus Tan
UPDATE:
Mr. Tan tells us that his nephew is a very timid 30-year-old male who is well educated with a stable job.
The nephew was shopping alone around noon on the 30th of December for a pillow for his newly rented room at the area shown below.
Mr. Tan states that OG's security personnel and the police did not take his nephew's explanations into consideration at all.
"The police only trusted the secutry personnel and refused to even hear him out," said the outraged Mr. Tan,"they said that since he has a clean record, he should just admit and pay a fine and move on."
The family has engaged a lawyer to mitigate for him, as he was innocently made to admit in the statement by "screaming officers who threatened him".
"It's a trap!" declares Mr. Tan in his second email to STOMP, "Traps like this exist in almost all the shopping centers all over Singapore."
If you are not guilty, never NEVER admit 'guilt' regardless of what they say to you.
Forced confessions are becoming the norm, and once admission of guilt is made, retraction is doubly difficult, especially when your credibilty is now called into question.
