Employee Alex Cuzzo said she gave the group a bag, and they immediately went downstairs to the lingerie and bachelorette items.
Cuzzo said she felt nervous and began washing front windows to guard the store's entrance. Downstairs, a girl from the group began to ask another employee questions. At the same time, surveillance video shows people grabbing items and putting them into bags.
