A video showing a woman stealing ice cream from a convenience store while avoiding the owner's gaze has been released, angering netizens.


On the 2nd, JTBC's 'Incident Manager' featured the story of Mr. A, who runs a convenience store with his family. On the 27th of last month, a male and female customer visited Mr. A's store. The male customer requested two packs of cigarettes, and Mr. A's mother, who was working at the time, turned around to get the cigarettes.


At that moment, the woman next to him hid ice cream behind her body. This situation was fully captured by the CCTV installed inside the convenience store. Mr. A said, "(My mother, who was working at the time) turned her back, and the woman hid the ice cream in a blind spot," adding, "She didn't place the ice cream on the counter and only paid for the cigarettes before leaving."

After learning the truth, Mr. A immediately reported them to the police.


It is said that recently the man came back to the convenience store and got angry. Later, the woman also came and said, "Why report to the police when we just need to pay? It's upsetting," then got angry but paid for the ice cream and left.


Mr. A said, "The male customer has conflicts with the staff every time he visits the convenience store," and added, "I hope they behave more politely."



Netizens reacted strongly to the story, saying things like, "Is it really worth it to act like that over one ice cream?", "This kind of thing happens frequently while running a convenience store," "Why do people act like this during tough times?", "If you don't have money, don't eat," and "Do you want to act like that in front of your group?"
