This is one of the spots where I wonder if the whole "If you see someone shoplifting, no you didn't." thing breaks down a bit.

"If you see someone shoplifting FOOD, no you didn't"

You missed a word.

Food, diapers, etc. If they're shoplifting a luxury lipstick or whatever while getting in their brand new SUV, that's different...

Yeah, not gonna snitch on someone trying to survive.

And if they'd try to shoplift a big-ass plasma TV I'd shoplift a bag of popcorn to watch that. Not exactly food, but I don't think someone would judge me harsh for that.

It might be easier to hide the TV than the popcorn.

I'd take another popcorn to just watch this guy at work. He's sooo smoooth. The only his problem is that he always faces the camera to navigate his moves. Ideal for him is to face another direction at each walk.

The rest of your reply chain, and seeing past iterations of such conversations, is exactly why I didn't specify. You'll find some versions of this conversation can go pretty far down the path of "you don't know other people's struggles" and "poor women deserve to feel like they look nice sometimes".
