db0Don't be a tool of the corpos and the state.
IrateAnteaterFor the shoplifting thing, it depends which store it is. Big chain grocery store? Yeah, I couldn’t care less what someone takes. Small single owner shop? Fuck you for stealing from that guy. Those stores struggle enough just trying to compete with the Walmarts of the world.
ThirdWorldOrderWal mart is still the one and only store I used to steal from back in 90’s. Had to wear umbro shorts since they had that webbing in them and then grab a few CDs and beads to make necklaces that I would sell. By the time I got to high school I was over the shop lifting thing.
samus12345Much like pirating Nintendo games, it is morally correct to shoplift from Walmart, assuming you have the skill to get away with it.
Plus it was the only way I could get CDs with explicit lyrics like Rage Against the Machine
Most stores don’t stop you. The security guards are just there for the police report and a description. That said, if you get recognized coming back to the same store, they will call the cops.
If there’s a police report, you didn’t get away with it unless you’re never going to that store again. Which is probably not usually the case.
