NBC29 is reporting that two employees at Charlottesville’s Best Buy were arrested on embezzlement charges today. Allegedly, the two had a little system going: check out clerk Sheila Chambers would allow people to pass by her register without paying, then loss prevention officer Rakeem Tutwyler would allow them through the front door.

    i could never do anythin like that didn’t they know that they would get caught sooner or later u don’t steal u buy and pay for what u what or need that is how i was raised, hopefully they have learned a lesson for what they have done. And now they will be marked for life without bein able to get jobs or anythin good in their lives noone will trust them.

    If best buy didn’t SUCK so bad I would feel sorry for them.

    On another note, what has happened to correct grammar and spelling? I was raised not to post things on the internet if I can’t use proper English.

    Rob, Who raised you to be so anal? this is a blog not a dissertation. it is a place to post your opinion. if you want perfection read a dictionary! ;)

    As far as these two, it is too bad but they took a chance and now must pay the price.

    Truth, Rob has a point. After about the first 7 or 8 words in Linda’s reply I gave up and moved on. It’s a crying shame what our public schools are pumping out nowadays. Every time I read some of these blogs, it brings a whole new meaning to “The Dumbing of America!”

    Grammar, again? Come on…the topic is about Best Buy employees arrested for embezzlement; not employees arrested for grammatical errors. Give it up people…this must be “The Dumbing of Charlottesville and surrounding counties”!

    I was taught that grammar rules, first and foremost, are intended to clarify language. If you understand a poster’s message, that is all that is required.

    I woner if anyone would hesitateto vacate a crowded theater because he did not know whether the shout “fire” referred to a verb instead of a noun.

    At the same time, the continued clarity of language depends on the existence of these rules. Nevertheless, whatever charity I have toward my fellow man (or woman) prevents me from lambasting an author who appears to be making a heartfelt point, but who may be ignorant about the finer points of grammar and usage. Of course, I was raised before Mr. Gore invented the internet, so maybe the rules have changed.

    Mr or Mrs Hmmmm, I think you would feel differently if you had read the nursing home topic a week or two ago. If grammar and spelling mistakes were a crime, 75% of the people posting in the topic would have been arrested. It’s not their fault, it’s the fault of the public school systems in my opinion!
