I'd be willing to bet that most athletes who get into trouble later on down the line, start off with something similar to this, doing something wrong and having other people/friends see it and just look the other way.

 

Having worked at Publix in HS and college, I can attest to the fact that there are employees who do indeed turn a blind eye, especially with their friends.  It usually becomes common knowledge, and the people who are involved normally get caught.  It doesn't take much.  A few missed items when scanning, or ignoring the fact that their friend has put on 20 lbs between entering and leaving the store.  Unfortunately, they wind up getting busted because Publix people love to talk.
