WOMAN, 87, CHARGED AFTER SWAPPING EVERY PRICE TAG AT THE THRIFT STORE IN HER FAVOR
WOMAN, 87, CHARGED AFTER SWAPPING EVERY PRICE TAG AT THE THRIFT STORE IN HER FAVOR WILLOWDALE, PA — Constance Pryor, 87, was charged with retail fraud after staff discovered she had spent weeks quietly swapping price tags throughout the store, consistently replacing higher prices with tags from cheaper items. swapped tags were found on nearly 60 items during a single inventory check Pryor reportedly carried a small pouch of blank tags and a marker in her purse for on-site edits a cashmere sweater rung up for $2 was traced back to a tag originally belonging to a clearance sock bin store staff say the pattern had been going on for at least six weeks before anyone noticed Pryor allegedly returned three days a week, always requesting the same register Volunteers at the shop say Pryor was well known and well liked, often chatting pleasantly at checkout while her retagged items rang up for a fraction of their value. "We've caught people switching a tag or two before," said store manager Ellis Barron, 9 years with the nonprofit. "We've never had someone run it like a system for over a month." Pryor was cited for retail fraud and banned from the store for 90 days, with staff flagging her account in the store's donor and volunteer database as a precaution. She reportedly asked whether the ban applied to the sister location across town, noting she "hadn't been banned from that one yet," and requested her marker be returned separately from the case file. Volunteers say the store has since started spot-checking tags weekly, something it never previously bothered to do. Some shoppers hunt for deals. Constance just made her own.
