I have never witnessed someone stealing groceries…and I never will.

I once didn’t see someone stealing food but then the weirdest thing happened to my memory when I saw them leave their cart blocking the sidewalk
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I did.
she stuffed raw hamburger in her flaps and tried to waddle out.
shit was gross and she smelled like a urinal.

Did you help her pack away some soap too?

Don’t even need to steal it, just gotta show the staff your fidget spinner tits and they get so amazed that they give you everything for free. I’ve been doing it since 2019
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wait. Am I replacing my tits with fidget spinners, or am I supposed to be affixing fidget spinners to my tits?
MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Born that way, your mother would have had to use fidget spinners as utensils the entire time she was pregnant. For every single meal.

Some grocery stores only give a staff discount on certain days of the week. But the five-finger discount works every day

I once saw a lady walk right through the self checkout and out the door. The only reason she got caught was she picked up a big frozen crab legs box and that triggered the alarm.

We are not that far from vandal hordes surviving by pillaging and looting. Just make sure you are on the bigger hordes side and you should be okay. It all starts with shoplifting out of necessity and lack of opportunity.

This is a funny meme and all but allow me to ruin the fun. This kind of small scale thievery in the absence of actual systemic change just leads to things being more expensive for the common person.

Do you not remember the 90s where food spoilage, warehouse theft, and petty shoplifting were rife? And yet, whaddayaknow, the retailers still made profit with their low prices.
Retailers jacking up their prices under the pretense of covering theft losses and the public lapping it up is the best mind trick they’ve pulled yet.

Where I live, there are entire homeless encampments, like little villages of tents and tarps.
Fentanyl is said to be a big part of the problem. Meth was already a huge problem by itself.
So long story short drug war= heroin and cocaine scarcity= cheap quickly available chemical alternatives like meth and fentanyl= addiction spiral increase= poor and homeless= Windows can’t open a window without lagging. IT’S IN THE NAME YOU CAN’T EVEN DO IT

Just remember, if you see someone stealing food…
…No you didn’t

*stealing anything. (As long as they’re stealing from a business, at least.)
You could be holding the cashier at gunpoint and emptying out the register, and I didn’t see shit.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Corporation, you mean.
The word business covers honest people making an honest living running their own thing, too.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m ok with stealing ftom the store. I’m not ok with them endangering the cashier.
you_are_dust@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You lose me at the point where you’re pointing a gun at someone that is just trying to make a living. Stuff merchandise down your pants all you want I guess, don’t point a weapon at someone making minimum wage.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Not small mom and pop shops. Anything on the stock exchange absolutely.
fartographer@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean, you should probably tell them that it’s unsafe to point a gun at people.

I was getting tires put on and the parking lot was connected to several other businesses one being a large chain jewelry store like Jared or Smythe. So I’m standing out front smoking a cigarette and I see commotion at the jewelry store a few guys jump in a car , it winds through the parking lot at high speed and blows right by me standing on the curb ,out onto a main street and towards the interstate. It was a gold seabring from enterprise with a driver that looked like Troy Polamalu and two guys laying down in the back seat.
It was a fucking heist ! I thought wow that’s cool , finished my cig and sat back in the waiting room . 15 minutes later the pigs show up , I act like I’m reading a magazine and I hear two dudes ( that were preachers at some Baptist church from their conversation i had overheard earlier) point at me and tell the pig " oh he was just outside maybe he saw something ". Pig came over I said “nah , don’t now what your talking about” and kept reading the magazine. The tire store let the pig see their security footage and then he comes back over to me , red faced demanding I tell him what I saw. I just said man I don’t know what the fuck your talking about and wasn’t outside at all since I got there and those two guys were lying. I kept reading the mag and the clown walked away after trying to explain to me how serious the situation was .
Nobody got hurt , they locked a UPS guy and the workers in a vault and took a bunch of jewelry. 6 months later I saw on the news they all got caught, it was an crime ring with pigs from NYC involved in the hyjinx. Glad I never wound up in that court room.

Stealing is one thing, pointing guns at employees is not

Last time I saw someone grabbing some food the only reason I saw them was to mention a security guard who was about to turn down the aisle. Gotta watch out for each other

I once remember reading a story where a police SQUAD chased a woman for over 3 hours in a police chase.
The crime? She had stolen 2 loafs of pumperknickle bread, and ran out of the store. Employees chased her, got her liscense plate, and cops pursued.
They then arrested her, and I forget the exact jailtime she got, but it was more than 10 years. If I were an employee, I’d have “chased” her. Just enough to get my bosses to think I was trying, but then oh no, I’m too fat and slow! She got away in the parking lot.

Police fucked this lady up for a candy bar and 20oz drink iirc. I fucking hate cops. Broker harm, slammer her on the ground then laughed at the videos later with their coworkers.

Stealing anything not from a private non rich individual.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I actually am excited to teach my kid tricks to get free shit from places like Amazon and Walmart. I’ve mentioned my excapades a few times, and have instilled in him we don’t steal from our neighbors no matter how small, people work hard for their shit. But companies that report $54 BILLION in profit and treat their employees like trash are fair game.

I’m a school bus driver in a good school district and I drop off one kid who then waits at a bus stop for a city bus heading for the really poor city right next to us. I know exactly what’s up and I would never say shit about it. And I also live in this district and pay the exorbitant school property tax every year, so it’s not like this doesn’t affect me.
