[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Last thing from me on this (and for the person who says I need help—go work retail and then get back to me).

People steal. Often. And there are many reasons why. I’m not so concerned about the nuggets as I am her brazenness. I can see one or two nuggets. But filling the entire soup cup with nuggets?

Anyway, to each his/her own. I did what I thought was the best thing to do.

But it happens— today it’s food. Tomorrow it’s those outfits for back to school that you can’t afford. Next year it could by $500 from your bank account. I’ve been on the other side of all of these. It’s not nice.

She will hit up another hot bar at another store. She may even come back to this one. She does not have the intent to pay when she knows that she can steal for free and no one will say anything.

Everyone will say “she’s just feeding her hungry kid,” so she knows she can get way with it.

You believe in the "slippery slope" between allowing gays to marry and people marrying animals too, don't you?  :roll:

If you steal, on a long enough timeline, you get caught. Natural consequences. I really doubt the chicken nugget thief is going to be robbing banks. I also doubt she's a serial offender, just stealing nuggets from anywhere she can. And whether she "gets away with it" or not, she has to live with herself, which is probably far worse than any consequence you'd be able to enforce. [b]Imagine being so broke you had to steal to feed your kid. [/b]

I'm more concerned by you, specifically your obsession with a stranger's (alleged) behavior and your need to punish other people for their wrongdoing. What do you do wrong, PP? Maybe you don't steal, but you speed. Or you lie. No human is without their faults. Maybe mind first the plank in your own eye, yeah? What a mess![/quote]

Why couldn’t this mom feed her kid the cannolis she paid for?  Or spend that money on something more healthy for her kid than cannolis?[/quote]
