A coffee shop in West Auckland is looking for a female thief who stole a tip jar from the store in public on Monday, Lesley, the New Zealand Herald.

At around 11:30 on the 14th, after two women walked into the The Block Cafe in Blockhouse Bay, a woman began to distract the staff in the store.

According to owner Sam, one of the women went to the front desk next to the food cabinet and began to order. However, her bank card was refused when she swiped her card, so she told the waiter that she would pay later.

Just as the clerk was distracted by the first woman who ordered food, another woman quickly took the tip jar next to the cashier and hid it in her clothes and immediately walked out of the coffee shop.

After the theft, coffee shop staff posted surveillance footage on Facebook. As of press time, the video has been viewed by more than 20,000 netizens and shared more than 300 times.

The main PO postscript reads, "does anyone know this ridiculous woman who stole our tip jar?" This is a piece of advice. Pay attention to the camera.

Shop owner Sam told the English Herald that they only realized that the tip jar was missing when they were cleaning that afternoon.

"an employee in the store was looking for the tip jar while cleaning, and she asked, 'Hey, did anyone take the tip jar?' Later, we couldn't find the jar, so we went back to watch the surveillance video and found this clip within five minutes. "

Sam said the thief disappointed the staff in the store, who have been working hard to provide intimate service to their guests.

"employees work hard to get tips. We usually divide these tips equally among the employees. "

"No matter how much money there is in the jar, it's a matter of principle."

"the woman who stole the money seems to have a bad history before."

Many local residents who have seen the video have expressed their support for the coffee shop.

One resident wrote: "shocked." Your service is so good that the shop assistant is always smiling. I hope I can catch her. "

"that's disgusting!" Another wrote, "I can't believe anyone would do such a nasty thing!" I hope you can get the tip jar back and find her, too! "

Sam is not hopeful about getting the tip jar back, but he said, "it would be best if she could return the tip jar and apologize to the staff at the store."
