Gift With Purchase

June 27, 2016 Blind Gossip

woman shopping 14[Blind Gossip] Despite her high income, this famous film actress occasionally shoplifts from a high-end store… and the store is very well aware of it!

If we had her arrested, it would ruin her career and it would associate our store with a negative headline. We don’t need that kind of publicity. If we caught her and let her go, she would probably be so embarrassed that she would never shop here again. Since she spends a lot of money with us every year, we just kind of look the other way when she takes something little. Internally, we call it her “gift with purchase.”

    Julia Roberts…really?? Does she actually shop? Cuz I would swear she’s wearing my aunt Marylou’s hand me downs

    I thought I’d read something like this several years ago, about an actress much more ‘old Hollywood legend’ famous than anyone being guessed. I can’t remember who, and nobody like that shows up when googling famous shoplifters or kleptomania.

    Lawrence, Paltrow, Roberts, Witherspoon, Hudson are all fine candidates.

    If they are going to treat this situation this way, how do they treat other cases. Imagine if you were caught taking something and then claim that it was a mistake and thought the item was paid for with the rest of the goods. You got prosecuted anyway. Then the story comes out the store has known about this compulsive thief and did nothing. It’s a little far fetch but what if …….

    no idea but, i’d tack on the last item she stole onto her next bill.
    and if she wants to complain, tell her you have video of her last ‘purchase’ and then tell her you are willing to make all this public if necessary.

    and it all comes down to the almighty dollar. The store doesn’t want to lose her business so they let her get away with the very same thing you or I would go to jail for. Another example of how these “celebrities” are special. The store is just encouraging her criminal activity. She will try it in another store that has a different policy and she will get the bad publicity, then she will go before a judge who gives her a slap on the wrist.

    I would boycott the store if I knew which one it…

    I have no idea, I don’t know how I would handle it, but I am curious, would Target or Wal-Mart let me have a “gift with purchase” considering the amount of money overall that I’ve spent there? Now i’m reconsidering my online shopping; maybe I need to go to the stores more often for my “gift with purchase”. I mean, seriously, we have citizens barely making ends meet working 2 jobs who don’t get freebies, and those who can afford it steal it? Blind eye for the rich and famous much?

  11. shelaur22 says

    Could be anyone, really. As for exposing her — I guess if the store doesn’t care, why should anyone else? She’ll get caught eventually.

    I’m intrigued. Julia Roberts would be ironic but the Gift With Purchase fitting with Gwyneth Paltrow? Mind blowing. The truth is, both of them are so arrogant and full of themselves , and have irritated so many people, that I’m betting some store staffer will leak this sooner or later anyway, just to expose whoever it is. I’ll bring popcorn and a chair to watch THAT!

    High income is a clue. High- as in gets high.
    Jennifer Lawrence?
    Charlize Theron?

    Famous and high were both used sobIbam also going with Kate Hudson

      Hardly Kristen’s style, you would more likely find her rummaging through thrift stores.

      I would hope that stealing isn’t anyone’s “style”

    If only Saks had done the same thing for Winona Ryder. Her career tanked and we got stuck with Gwyneth Paltrow.

    Julia Roberts? Pic reminds me of the scene in Pretty Woman where she has all of the shopping bags.

  22. Alllie says

    June 27, 2016 at 7:13 pm

    no idea who but I would look the other way too. I can only the markups in the rodeo specialty boutiques! She paid for the stuff she pilfered many times over by being over charged lol win-win for everyone.

  23. PinkLily says

    June 27, 2016 at 6:48 pm

    Julia Roberts-blind guess

    Only way I’d let it go was if it came out of the salary of the people making the call. It it is covered with higher prices to the honest customers, salaries of other employees or even a tax write-off we all pay for, not ok.

  24. smiller2000 says

    Julia Roberts

    I would probably do what the store is already doing…calling it a gift with purchase

  27. LAJuice says

    June 27, 2016 at 5:37 pm

    I hope this is GOOP!

    If I ran the store, I’d bust her, IF it was Gwenyth.

    Too bad Saks had to persecute Winona
    Great actress who never recovered from the humiliation
    Saks should have handled it differently

    • spoofbyrd says

      SFW ? These celebrities are not indispensable . Someone can always take their place. As one friend of mine said about a person who thinks they are special . ” You are just Chicken in the Barnyard of life. Other turds have come before you and other turds will come after your gone .”

    • pretzel says

      June 27, 2016 at 11:32 pm

      Totally agree. Not that it’s okay by any means, but actors/actresses/musicians have done so much worse and they have been supported to recovery. Really wish they had done something more private with Winona.

    • NativeAtlantaGirl says

      June 28, 2016 at 4:21 am

      Because anyone else busted for shoplifting can’t have their lives ‘ruined’? If it is a psychiatric problem, does it negate the loss on the company’s bottom line? Tired of celebs getting ‘speshul’ treatment and their over inflated sense of entitlement.

    • lagally says

      June 28, 2016 at 6:24 pm

      There are many many criminal security guards who lie if they mistakenly arrest a person

    • Squeezes99 says

      June 29, 2016 at 9:03 pm

      So it’s OK for actresses to shoplift, but not the little people? If her career never recovered, that’s because she broke the law. And it’s not like she couldn’t afford a nice wardrobe at the time.

  30. Laughing1 says

    June 27, 2016 at 5:04 pm

    Winona Ryder??? (LOL…….)

  31. angelbratt says

    June 27, 2016 at 5:02 pm

    Kate Hudson

    If I were the owner, I’d probably just tack it onto her bill. She probably wouldn’t even notice.

  32. FiyahHotFlashy says

    June 27, 2016 at 4:40 pm

    I don’t know who the actress is but I would “leak” a mixtape of the actress in action

    • spunkie brewster says

      June 28, 2016 at 7:37 am

      Leak a mixtape? Like a 90’s playlist to her stealing?

    • Whalesnark says

      June 28, 2016 at 12:16 pm

      Perhaps FHF means a video capturing multiple incidents. Like a greatest hits album but Greatest Lifts instead.

    wow….just wow!! so this rich * thinks shes entitled to a 5finger discount cuz she knows she can get away with it? Sorry but if i paid for the stuff to put in the store….shes gonna pay for it before she walks out with it. ..or go to jail like us regular peasants would…lol omg i would love to know who this is..please oh please solve…haha

    Julia Roberts

  36. justjennamarie says

    June 27, 2016 at 3:48 pm

    I get a Cate Blanchett vibe when I read this.

    If I ran the store I would call her out. Not holding people accountable (or only holding certain people accountable) is what is wrong with our society, imo.

  37. lilmama says

    June 27, 2016 at 3:30 pm

    Acress: Julia Roberts

    Optional: I think I would begrudgingly handle it the same way. And I’m sure the actress feels entitled to her “freebies” since she spends a lot there.

  38. jonty30 says

    June 27, 2016 at 3:21 pm

    That’s probably the only way you can handle it, if you value her business enough to overlook what she steals. It’s tax deductible so the actual loss, if she’s limiting herself to inexpensive goods, would be very small in reality.

    It’s better to just ignore it.

  39. CatBallou says

    June 27, 2016 at 3:10 pm

    Total guess but Anne Hathaway? The lifted leg reminds me of Princess Diaries.

    Julia Roberts

  41. terry123 says

    Used to be famous actress Kate Hudson.
    They should just send her a bill at the end of each “shopping spree”.

  42. thelasthigh says

    June 27, 2016 at 2:31 pm

    well looks like it’s working out for everyone so they should keep quiet about it

  43. Aurelia says

    June 27, 2016 at 2:27 pm

    Julia Roberts
    I’d do the same as the store management team.

    • Debbie Do says

      June 28, 2016 at 4:58 pm

      I think Julia’s big enough that it wouldn’t ruin her career. All the rumors & other things Julia may or may not have done have never damaged her career so petty theft wouldn’t hurt her. I think it has to be someone younger who still has a lot to lose or who’s had other scandals.

  44. carriebradshaw says

    June 27, 2016 at 2:17 pm

    optional: send the bill to her manager.

    she’s kleptomaniac, she should go to a therapy.
