Wow
That's a lot of Maybelline!
Great disguise....
...because she doesn't look the least bit Polish.
Forest Hills conundrum
We always wonder what makes the sessions Polish at the Polish Nail Salon on Hyde Park Avenue.
This is why using proper English is important
One stray capital letter and every Zbigniew and Tadeusz in town would be a suspect.
Heh:
"Dedham Police Department : (781) 751-9329 x 9329
Investigator: Detective Deborah Gonski
Case Submission No.: 150399"
I wonder how sick she is of hearing the jokes.
Good to see a police report

A nail polish theft ring?
Okay, I don't get it. Can someone explain to me why such a thing would exist?
Supplying it to nail places,
Supplying it to nail places, maybe? Seems an odd thing to steal en masse
why?
It comes in small packages that are easy to steal, and retails for pretty expensive money.
Theft is a big business
"Each year, organized groups of professional shoplifters steal or fraudulently obtain billions of dollars in retail merchandise," says the Government Accountability Office, which released a report on the epidemic last June. Criminals tend to pilfer products that are small and expensive -- razor blades, infant formula, gift cards, teeth whitening products, cosmetics, and over-the-counter medications, for instance.

Best headline of the day
Hands down! (Groan)
Nailed it.

when I saw that headline....
I got an image of her sat up in a chair as some burly BPD officer is crouched beneath her painting her toes and drying them by blowing on them.
Great to know that
Great to know that convenience stores still have potatos serving in lieu of security cameras.

Have to call a sales
Have to call a sales associate to unlock body wash or get a GD stick of deodorant, now nail polish! Thanks a lot, ya jerks!
many years ago
Long before the days of self service supermarkets and stores. You went to a counter and asked for all your stuff and they got it to you. Maybe it's time to move back to that?
(I agree, it's annoying and almost sad)
Try buying razor blades
It is a major ordeal to buy razor blades. One has to get them from behind a locked case, or a case that is made extremely difficult to extract anything from. Lights flash, loudspeakers announce someone is in the "shaving needs" department, and all heads turn. Some Walgreens actually have an employee walk you from the shaving department to the checkout with your blades.
I was at a bar on Dot Ave
I was at a bar on Dot Ave last year, a guy came in with a duffle bag full of hot razor blades. He was selling them for short money. This is why we can't have nice things!
Safety razor
Shaves better than those fancy expensive multiblade razors, and blades are only 10 cents a piece.
Totally agree.
Nice weight, high style, good shave, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. I honestly don't know why people use disposables. Fancy vintage ones go for big bucks on eBay but there are many options.
Huh?
"Safety razors" are the disposable ones...
Let's hope she gets fingered.

Don't gloss over this one.

It's amazing..
