If I saw someone shoplifting anything I wouldn’t lol none my business
Yeah, I'll start caring about shoplifting as soon as it becomes remotely the same magnitude of a problem as wage theft.
for as long as wage theft has been an unrecognized unremedied problem.
Only time I'll say something is a mom and pop store. Then the thief is being shitty. Go steal from a Walmart, not here.
I dunno. Oftentimes desperate people are more liable to steal from those stores than to steal from Walmart because the security is more lax. people like to say that, oh, Walmart builds it into their budgets, the theft, so they do nothing about it, but that's totally false, there are plenty of instances where Walmart or whatever other shitass big box store will call the cops or try to detain you with their personal security. Not to say that people should rob local businesses over Walmart if they have the choice, right, but that's why people might do it.
usually but not always valid. still don't snitch, Nazi death squads improve nothing.
Nah, man, I ain't gonna let anyone steal even one of the .15c honey sticks my local candy shop sells
The old couple that run it are too sweet and caring to let even a modicum of bad shopper into their store without punishment
(Seriously how could you steal from people who just give extra quarter/half pounds of their homemade candy because they can, or get upset when a specific product they remember you like has run out and you have to get something else? It happens! Monsters.)
yeah I'd probably tell the kid doing it tgst this isn't the place but I wouldn't snitch. a 1.5c honey stick isn't worth somebody getting shot.
The right answer. You never know what people have on them. I personally don't want to get shot or stabbed. Corporations have insurance, AND make enough profit for me to care.
Only time I'd disagree with this is if it was a local family/co-op ran store. I couldn't care less about the bottom line of a corporation
I might if they were bad at it, to try and help. I certainly wouldn't snitch
