It is unfortunate to hear that the manager of the 7-Eleven store in L.A. was not grateful for the user’s efforts in finding a skimmer at their store. Skimmers are illegal devices used to steal credit and debit card information, and finding one at a store is a serious matter that should be handled promptly and appropriately.
If a skimmer is found, it is important to report it to the authorities immediately. The user’s actions in finding the skimmer and contacting the authorities were commendable, and it is essential to hold businesses and their employees accountable for any wrongdoing.
In this situation, the manager’s reaction is concerning, and it raises questions about the store’s security measures and protocols. If the manager was upset about the discovery of the skimmer, it is possible that they or someone else at the store was involved in its installation.
The user’s experience highlights the importance of being vigilant and aware of potential scams and frauds. If a skimmer is found, it is crucial to report it to the authorities rather than attempting to handle the situation independently. By taking action and reporting suspicious activity, we can help prevent future scams and protect ourselves and others from becoming victims of fraud.
Here are what netizens think:
- Pro tip, if you ever catch a store with a skimmer, and it takes that long to remove. It was placed there by either an employee or someone else who works there. NEVER give the skimmer to the store in this.
- Manager or store needs to be investigated. That thing too time to put on…and with all of the scamming going on, the store should be all over out in the open stuff like this.
- Yeh the manager probably kno it’s there already lol.
- No, don’t give it to the employee, they’ll just put it right back! That place is staffed 24/7, so with that much effort to install and remove, how the hell you think it got there in the first place? Call the cops, at least they can review the CCTV footage and figure out which employee was the one that installed it.
