Thrift shopping

I went to a thrift shop looking for items that I could buy and flip. I walked all through the store and everything was kind of picked over. I got to the back of the store and there was a home/kitchen decor section. There were a bunch of metal slides attached to the wall in the far right corner. At the top of each slide, there were square openings in the wall. I wondered what they were there for and then I saw a worker pop their arm out of one of the openings and drop something down the slide. that's when I realized that on the other side of the wall, was an unloading dock and workers were unloading the delivery trucks and dropping delivered items down the slides for stockers to put on the shelves. I started grabbing stuff right off of the slides and throwing them into my cart before the other customers could get to them first. I then walked over to a section that had a lot of kitchen utensils. I noticed that there were Christmas pastry molds that had fully decorated Christmas cookies in them. I thought this was odd, but I bought them anyway. My wife and my dad walked in and told me how nasty that was and told me to stop wasting my money.
