The new owner probably did the first time in years, year-end inventory, and chit himself. He probably has figured out just hom much he overpaid for stock. I would be a little pissy about it as well, getting checked, or my child getting checked, but I can understand why. Its a shame, but now your son is known as an honest person by this employee, which we always new him to be be, but now one more person does as well. Working my last job I came across facts and figures almost daily. I can tell you the the figure of 12 1/2% markup on everything you pay in a food store is cover theft. That was a number of years ago. I would bet its 16% or 17% now.
If I were you I'd go in there again with your son and have your son purposely look up the guy who checked him, look him in the eye and say, "how you doing today? Not to be wise, just to ley the guy know he is no shrinking violet.
