PrettyGood Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 My new friend told me that he was a very bad person in his boyhood. He mentioned a word "bandit", but didn't want to explain about it until we know each other poorly. What does it mean? Does it mean that he robbed people in the streets or are there more kinds of bandits? Link to comment
Mauxly Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Who knows? It could mean that he liked to tee-pee the neighbors houses when he was 12. It could mean that he was part of a violent street gang. What is your sense about him? Does he seem edgy? Dangerous? Is that part of the allure? What do you mean by friend? Just friend? Or is there some sort of attraction? Link to comment
Seymore Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I considered myself a bandit for a couple of years in my teenage-hood. By that I mean I shoplifted quite a bit. Didn't get caught, but I realized it was completely stupid and once I learned about the term "shrinkage" and how it affects business/my co-workers and me, I quit doing it. Just find out what he's learned from the experience and if it's long behind him. Link to comment
PrettyGood Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Seymore and what is a "shrinkage"? I don't understand this term. And how does it affect business/ your co-workers and you when you do it? Please explain me? Link to comment
Seymore Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Shrinkage is basically a loss of profit for a company due to theft. If a company loses enough profit, they could possibly end up cutting pay, or jobs. The place I had worked for eventually had to start patting down the employees as we left our shift at the end of the day. It upset a few people I worked with and I told myself it just wasn't worth it. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Sounds like he was a bit of a crook. How does he seem now? Link to comment
