I'm getting the feeling that the same people in here rallying for the girl, and saying she didn't deserve that, also probably don't believe in disciplining children.
It's the same concept, every action has a reaction. Her actions had consequences.
She stole from another human being, someone who I'm sure worked HARD for their money. She's a 19 year old young adult who was in her right mind while at work, and made a conscious effort to rip this lady off.
She didn't make a mistake, she knew exactly what she was doing and what she was going to do after-the-fact.
She also thought she was gonna get away with it, and she surely didn't. Would she have apologized if Ralph's didn't expose her ass? I DON'T THINK SO.
She's lucky that's ALL that happened to her. Whatever else comes from it will be a life-long lesson not to **** around like that again.
You don't know what it's like to have something stolen from you that you worked hard for, until it actually happens to you. I can totally relate with the lady that got her card ripped off.
