Witnessed a very interesting heist on Woolies

Aboriginal transgender Female, rocking a pink mini skirt, a black arm cast, a pink hibiscus flower hair clip, black handbag, and a white crop top.

if you can image that, you have the main character for a well orchestrated heist that left me quite amazed at their ingenuity and understanding of the human psyche.

The transfemale started shouting obscenities saying how white people were thieves, stealing their land and wealth, go back to England. this obviously drew some looks… now she had her audience….

During the tirade she was abusing no one in general, but she was looking for a target for the next stage of the act. When one Woolie's employee made an announcement for counter assistance to clear the long line, she found her target. She strode over to the poor lady and called her white trash, living in the "projects", challenged her to a fight, and threatened physical harm for, what the transfemale perceived, to have been a call for assistance to come handle a disturbance (the transfemale). The poor lady had to contend with the abuse shouted into her face and smell, that at 5m away, even I was aware of.

I believe that this was to get her captive audience to look away from that point on. Because after the challenge/episode with the lady, no one wanted to make eye contact to avoid any awkward situations with the transfemale. That's when she had set the optimum conditions to secure her objective, two coke bottles in the quickgrab section at the front of the store.

She stuffed those two bottles down her handbag and walked off shouting "how dare you try to make a profit on our land". All this time, her accomplice (a white guy, ironically) was distracting the bottle shop employee (the only other shop there, situated opposite woolies and the only one with a possible view of the shoplift) They walked off laughing at how successful their plan was.

Colour me impressed, their blitz on woolies left everyone stunned while their secured their objective.

I saw the lady manager who had just come out, holding a walkie-talkie, obviously having been notified by her staff about the disturbance and told her that I saw the Transfemale snag two bottles of coke, and she said "well "'m not gonna confront her, am I?" This reminded me of another ozbargain topic: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/279644. Which made me question why did I even bothered to go back and inform them about this.

TL:DR: Transfemale used her understanding of people's aversion to awkward situations to snag two coke bottles from Woolies.
