Face told me it's been happening over a month and they're not able to catch the person do it, and there's no cameras down the aisleles where he is doing it.

The manager has asked for corporate to put in cameras in those areas, and corporate just doesn't want to pay for that.

Speaker 1

Some sicico is peeing on top of the candles, so you got to pick them up to smell them, tilt them back all over yourself.
