Who said you need to go to Nigeria or LA or NY to notice the state-of-the art ideas on robbing/stealing/deceit. You can find it all here from the young minds, in Kuwait.
The other evening I was on my usual not-so-exciting stroll in the local Cooperative store here. Just then saw a young Kuwaiti Kid, maybe 9 or 10, jumping up near the frozen foods counter, picking up a roll of what looked like some pre-printed bar-code labels. The next moment I hear the footsteps of one of the employees running towards him and what followed was a cool chase through the dinghy aisles of the supermarket. He accosted the kid and took away the labels. I thought that this was much-ado-about-nothing. Intrigued and amused with the ordeal so far, I asked the store-helper, as to why would a kid want to run away with barcodes stickers which are worth nothing and why was he so adamant to take this away from him? I would imagine them running away with Superman/Batman/Spiderman stickers instead. (more…)
