The 70-year-old aunt supermarket is 24 pounds of water, walking with one hand and walking. The shopkeeper doesn't chase or shout, and the group tactfully collects the account. How did this "bus Lin Daiyu" become "supermarket Fang Shiyu"? How to deal with the theft of the elderly?
Aunt "Shun" water: old age and skills have not diminished back then
Elderly people stealing things, this thing sounds wrong. Since ancient times, our country has paid attention to "the old and the old", but this time it was good, an old lady in her 70s actually took a sheep in the supermarket and took away 24 pounds of bottled water. This aunt is not only bold, but also very skilled, carrying a large bag of water in one hand, walking like a flying fly, and people can smack their tongues.
Old age or moral decay?
**This aunt's behavior really taught us a practical lesson of "the elderly can also fly the eaves and walk the wall". **I saw her looking left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, she rushed up with an arrow step and picked up the bag of water and ran out. The swiftness of the movements and the lightness of the steps are even more chic and free than the light masters in martial arts movies. If you hadn't seen this scene in the supermarket surveillance, who would have thought that an old lady in her old age could still have such vigorous skills?
However, we have to say that this old man's behavior is indeed a bit inappropriate. Although 24 catties of water are not worth a few dollars, stealing is stealing, whether it is gold, silver, jewelry or a bottle of water, the nature is the same. This makes one wonder: Is it possible that when you are old, you can be forgiven for doing wrong things? Can the moral bottom line be broken at will?
Shopkeeper trick: repay the "thief" with virtue
Faced with this situation, the supermarket owner's reaction was surprisingly mild. Instead of yelling and chasing people out, he chose a more decent way to deal with the matter.
**The boss posted a message in the community group, tactfully reminding the old lady or her family to come back to settle the bill, and thoughtfully said that you can owe it first. **This hand can be described as high, which not only gives the old man face, but also does not lose the moral high ground. The boss did this, on the one hand, because he was worried that the chase would make the old man fall, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use kindness to awaken the conscience of the other party.
Let's say that the way this boss deals with it is simply a contemporary living Lei Feng! Not only did he not take care of it, but he used tolerance and goodwill to resolve the contradictions, and this kind of mind and wisdom is worth learning from each of us.
Netizens ridiculed: Lin Daiyu became Fang Shiyu
As soon as this happened, netizens were very happy. Someone joked: "Lin Daiyu on the bus, Fang Shiyu in the supermarket", this is simply to the point!
Usually on the bus, the elderly often need the younger ones to give up their seats. But when she arrived at the supermarket, this old lady turned into a martial arts master, and she could still walk like a fly with 24 catties of water in one hand, this contrast is too big, right?
Some netizens said: **"24 bottles of water, many young people can't move it, and the aunt can actually carry it with one hand and run." Is she going to get on the bus and ask the young man to give her a seat?" Although this is a joke, it also speaks to the hearts of many people.
Geriatric delinquency: need to be cured together
The topic of crime committed by the elderly is actually quite heavy. Although this time it was just a bag of water, the problems reflected behind it cannot be ignored.
Caring for the elderly: responsibility cannot be shirked
First of all, we have to reflect on why there are elderly people who steal things. Is it forced by life? Or is there something wrong with the sense of morality? Whatever the reason, it shows that our pension system needs to be improved.
Moral Slippage: Be wary of the undesirable demonstration effect
On the other hand, the importance of moral education cannot be overlooked. Some elderly people may think that they are old and will be forgiven for doing something, which is actually very dangerous.
If the elderly think so, then what's the point? When young people see that the old people are like this, will they feel that "they can do anything when they are old anyway"? This kind of undesirable demonstration effect will have a negative impact on the morality and customs of the entire era.
Therefore, while respecting the old and loving the young, we must also let the elderly understand that age is not a shield for violating laws and disciplines. Ethics and laws are something that every citizen should abide by, regardless of age.
epilogue
So in the end, I would like to ask: If you are a supermarket owner, in the face of an old man who steals things, will you choose to chase or not? Severe punishment or open the net? What do you think about this?
