[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a place for people like OP--and it's not Heaven.

The real crime is the amount of prepared food thrown out by grocery stores each day.[/quote]

This is OP.

Bullshit! I guarantee that I have put in 500 hundred times more hours this past year, volunteering for the poor and food insecure. Trust me on that. I have the receipts.

But as I have shared before, some of you never see the other side of the stealing. You think “ why not just help myself…it’s a business and they make lots of money…they are not missing anything much.”

The kid WAS NOT STARVING —chunky, yes, but not starving. The mom was simply “getting over.” A lot of people do it. But you guys are telling me that it’s right for me to pay $12 for my nuggets, but that she should get a free pass to not pay for hers. Just because. Even if she could pay (she paid for those cannolis, so she had money). She just wanted the nuggets and cookies and whatever else she was going to steal, she wanted it for free. Why pay when you can get it for free, right?

I’ve been on the other side when employees steal from customers (taking from your bank accounts to pay their bills, then trying to hide what they’ve done). Let her steal from your bank account then.

It’s the same. It’s just that some of you prefer corporate welfare meaning it’s okay to steal from Best Buy, Target, LV or Whole Foods because they have many more goods and make a lot of money. So people should be allowed to help themselves every once in a while and let other customers have to pay for it.

But apply stealing to your checking account and you’ll be the first to call a consumer  watchdog agency or the bank, disputing the charge and calling it fraud, wanting to get your money back.

A business fraud= okay; personal fraud against you= hell no.

But it’s the same stealing in both cases. The selective outrage is amazing.[/quote]
Why did you even post the question?!!

I think it’s a gross thing to steal and people do it all the time. It’s wrong. And you think so too. Why go into all this effort and detail? People are going to take steal and cheat. They just do. Most people don’t. You’re also not going to change human nature by all this hand wringing. [/quote]
