Her Wallet Was Also on a Diet

I really can’t make this stuff up. Well I could but it wouldn’t be nearly as funny.

This is a real story out of Port St. Lucie, Florida, where according to TCpalm.com “A woman involved in a Weight Watchers demo at a Publix was arrested after shoplifting cupcakes and other items, according to a police report obtained Friday.”

Yeah....she not only took the free samples but also tooth whitening strips, and some other stuff. What can I say? The story really says it all:

PORT ST. LUCIE — A woman involved in a Weight Watchers demo at a Publix was arrested after shoplifting cupcakes and other items, according to a police report obtained Friday.

A loss prevention official told police that Kelly L. Barber, 47, was in the store in the 3200 block of Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard Thursday “conducting a demo for Weight Watchers.”

The loss prevention official said she saw Barber “conceal store items” in a blue bin and leave the store without paying for the goods, which included Weight Watchers cupcakes, a book and teeth whitening strips.

“When questioned, Kelly explained she just wanted to whiten her teeth and stated it was stupid she stole the items as she had never done this before,” the report states. “Kelly did not have an explanation for all the other items.”

Barber, of the 1700 block of Southeast Linwood Avenue in Fort Pierce, faces a retail theft charge.

Happy Friday!
