I'll relay a story a friend of mine just told me.
She was at the store and noticed security had detained a person. They were going through a backpack and acussing the person of stealing cans of food. My friend went up to them and pretended to know the person. She then said "I was going to pay for these items, I must've forgot, let's go pay for them now" security reluctantly allowed her to pay for the persons items and let him go.
$22.00, was the cost to feed someone and keep them out of jail.
@Ypsilenna @mike Can you help me understand the point being made here? Is it that stealing from a company is a sign of despiration or that it simply cost $22 to feed a person? I just don't get it.
@gocu54 @Ypsilenna No real point per se. Just relaying a story of how a person helped another and how it inky cost $22 to de-escalate and resolve the situation.
@mike @Ypsilenna Well, it was a pretty nice story. thanks for explaining it.
