SHOPLIFTING ADVICE FOR WINONA RYDER

SHOPLIFTING ADVICE FOR WINONA RYDER



TORONTO (Wireless Flash) – Winona Ryder may be claiming her shoplifting slip-up was research for a role, but a Toronto man has some free advice for her. Shoplifting expert Gabriel Ghone says Ryder’s filching failed because expensive stores like Saks usually have overly attentive sales staff. Ghone says “good service is a shoplifter’s worst enemy,” which is why Ryder should’ve distracted clingy clerks with questions to get them off the floor. For instance, he suggests Ryder ask for odd-sized items so the clerks will be in the stock room when it’s time to make a break. If that doesn’t work, he thinks Ryder should bring along a buddy like Gwyneth Paltrow and have her shove something in her pockets in plain view of the clerks. That way, the clerks will follow Paltrow all over the store trying to nab her and leave Ryder free to steal anything she wants.
