Seagull in St John's

This is a true story! Hey, don't some of you lot live in St John's?

A seagull in St. John's, NL has developed the habit of stealing Doritos from a neighborhood convenience store. The seagull waits until the Manager isn't looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos.

Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds.

The seagull's shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped into the store in St. John's, and helped himself to a bag of Doritos. Since then, he's become a regular. He always takes the same type of chips.

The Manager thinks it's great because people are coming to watch the feathered thief make the daily grab and run, and that's good for business, and especially since customers have begun paying for the seagull's stolen bags of Doritos because they think it's so funny.

However, the Manager did say, "This is Newfoundland, and if that seagull starts to grab a 6-pack of beer to go along with the Doritos, I may have to put a stop to it."

Yeah, we're in Saint John, New Brunswick. That's St. John's, Newfoundland. It's a pretty common mistake, but most Saint Johners freak out when you make it. I won't though. 'Cuz I'm that cool.

In conclusion, that story is pretty awesome.

That's been circling the internet for many years and I've seen it listed as a bunch of different cities.

But you have to admitt, it's a pretty smart seagull, no matter where he lives.

(Or maybe the shopowner trained it...)
