How embarrassing.

But maybe your mother would be proud.

How some people justify their criminal behavior is mind boggling.

PP, do you think you're better than smash and grab thieves? Because you're really no different.

No psychos in the self checkouts.

You are insane. There are shoplifters at all stores. In rockville there is a security person standing by the entrance door (in the afternoon/evening) for those who think they can just walk out with full unpaid for carts and bags of food.

They aren’t forcing you. Self checkout is optional. Try again.

Open your eyes. Cameras everywhere and security guards and hey check you out only? Plus workers are paid bonuses if low to nil shrinkage. It’s an awesome private company.

Anyways. Y’all need to have some self respect and stop stealing. Gross.

Integrity matters.

It's not worth it to have this boyfriend. Set some minimum standards for yourself OP, and move on.

You should be more terrified at your willingness to stay with someone like this

You are a loser Op

Every time I scroll through Recent Topics and see this title I laugh and shake my head. Especially since I know he's in his 50s!

Wild. Most men here (DC suburbs) don't do this unless they are poor and don't have enough to eat.

He would likely say he's not getting any thrill but he is. It's the tiny, cumulative thrill of knowing he can get away with things, which confirms over and over that He Is Special. This is the kind of thinking that holds the rest of the world in contempt and considers other people dumb because they don't steal groceries. And he surely cheats, lies and steals in other aspects of life and work. He'll say it's all small stuff and harms no one at all, but the total lesson is: He thinks he's better than others, and rules don't apply to him, and rules are stupid anyway. Run, OP, run.

This. He’ll probably get caught at some point.

Some stores just keep track via CCTV, and when the individual hits a certain threshold, they press charges.

Plenty of articles about this.

Montgomery County used to be the richest county in America. Now it's becoming a ghetto.

It’s white supremacy to demand OP’s BF pay for his groceries.

I had an ex who also thought he was above the law. Unsurprisingly, he was a cheater.

Meanwhile, I’m so honest that I go back inside to pay for things if I missed scanning them because they got tucked back in the cart.

Now I’m married to someone equally scrupulous. We’re both government lawyers like your boyfriend. We would be surprised if any of our coworkers jeopardized their licenses for such a petty thrill.

And the craziest part of this whole story is that the title doesn’t say EX-boyfriend. The bar is prison apparently.

Even if the store paid you to check out your own groceries, it doesn’t take half an hour to ring up your groceries.
