Products began to disappear in an odd fashion, so I installed a concealed camera in my store, and I was astonished by what I observed
Having my own business has always been my goal. Without investors or startup funds, it would just be me, my hands, and my unwavering willpower. I finally opened a modest grocery business of my own after many years.
Over the years, I’ve found that my employees are the most compassionate individuals. Together, we have weathered emergencies, blackouts, and disgruntled clients. They became more than simply coworkers to me; they were family.
But all of a sudden, odd things began to occur.
Initially, I observed that a few bananas vanished daily. Next are mangoes, pears, and apples. It appeared that someone picked the ripest and sweetest fruit on purpose. I assumed it was a warehouse error. Next, a mistake in accounting. However, no. Products started to disappear in a methodical way. More every day.
The boys all vowed not to take anything when I spoke with them. They were so persuasive that I started to question whether I was mistaken. Perhaps I overlooked something?
However, I lost patience one evening. I put in a covert camera after the store closed. I didn’t tell anyone, not even my top salesman. I was curious to know the truth.
I watched the video early the following morning. I was so shocked that I nearly dropped my phone. I believed my workers were pilfering goods, but the reality was far more startling
On the screen, it was easy to see how a monkey cautiously entered through the back door, which had evidently been left unlocked. Yes, a real, fluffy monkey with acrobat-like tail and expressive eyes.
She was obviously no ordinary guest. She started by taking a quick look to make sure the store was empty. Then, like a true gourmet, she crept stealthily to the fruit department and began making thoughtful selections.
She started by breaking off a banana, sniffing it, then discarding it since she didn’t like it. She then located a peach, took a seat between the boxes, and began to gently eat it.
She froze as if playing hide-and-seek, ducking behind the boxes as soon as a staff member walked by. She then resumed her tasting when she was by herself once again.
She ate in the video:
Two bananas, half a pineapple (yep, she opened it with her claws), an avocado (bite and threw away since it didn’t taste good),
That was pure love—and pears.
I repeatedly viewed the video. initially in total disbelief. Next, with a faint smile. After that, I couldn’t contain my laughter. We were unaware that this naughty little creature was making “raids” nearly every day.
I arrived early the following day and waited near the rear entrance. And what do you know? She arrived. As if at home, with self-assurance and no shame. She paused and gave me a glance. and appeared to frown.
I offered her a banana.
Since then, I have a store, a fantastic staff, and a monkey called Fru-Fru. We came to an agreement whereby I leave her some fruit each day and she no longer steals.
