An English language teacher friend shared this picture on his Facebook page today. He gave me permission to share it with you. He had one idea about what happened. Some of his friends had other ideas. What do YOU think happened? Share your ideas in the comments, or join us for a discussion about it on Facebook today."Dear woman ahead of me in line at GAP,If you plan to successfully thieve, you should yank the H&M price tags off your shirt before you take off your jacket while in line at GAP. If you don't, the person behind you in line could take your photo.Sincerely,Person behind you in line at GAP"

I guess she may have been asking and trying to make sure if she could pay by her credit card or something like that. I don't think she was totally unware of the tags or she decided to wear the newly bought shirt instead of the old one. But her friend who was behind her found it funny and took the picture. Now, it's been anybody's guess.
Yes, regardless of whether she stole the shirt or paid for it, she likely forgot to remove the tags. If she did steal it, she would have been more concerned, don't you think? If she just bought it, she probably still has the receipt, so she would just be embarrassed. The receipt may even be in that bag with the shirt that she was wearing before she bought this one!
So many possibilities! Maybe she is my friend's friend, and he asked her to pose for this picture so that he could do a fun exercise with his students. Do you think this was staged?
Maybe she is just wearing this for teasing you all :) or ... she is the owner of the store so that she will not care about any situation or ... just taking your attention or ... She knows that someone will take a photo of herself to learn English ... Lol
I'm sure she has another spare shirt with a tag still intact to change into :-). Can you imagine, you can wear new shirts albeit with tags still intact nearly everyday provided you really have unique schedules and can return them to all those stores? LOL.

I think I know what she did. :) Some people are so good in doing it.

BTW- If you go to EnglishClub's Facebook page and scroll down to June 6th, you'll find some more people guessing.

Yeah, the shopping bag is one of clues ... ;)

Also, what does the shopping bag tell us?
Interesting discussion!

Great idea to using picture to another challenge.
You're a resourceful teacher, Tara :)

If that is the case, I hope she brought a spare shirt to change into! :)
