Adreanna Shelton and her nine year old daughter Gray were at the Dollar Tree on South Bend Avenue shopping for a gift for Gray's teacher when Gray reached for a candle on the shelf.

"We're smelling candles, and she picked up a candle to smell and tilted it back and it literally, liquid, went down her. At first we were like maybe it's just water, and as we were just walking through the store we get a foul smell and Gray goes, 'mom my shirt really stinks,'" said Shelton.

That smell was urine sitting in the candle on the store shelf.

Appalled by the stain and smell on her daughters shirt, Shelton went to a manager searching for answers.

The store manager offered her a shirt as a replacement.

"They have been telling me this has been happening over a month, and they're not able to catch the person doing it, and there's no cameras down the aisle where he is doing it, so the store employees, the manager, has asked corporate to put in cameras in those areas. And corporate just doesn't want to pay for those,"said Shelton.

Why would they not move the candles to be within view of the cashiers/existing cameras after the first or second incident?

The pisser is probably just gonna piss on that shelf no matter what product is on it because they may have surmised it's in a blind spot.
