Stealing food? I didn't see shit.

Absolutely yes, but also, choose your targets. Walmart ain't gonna miss it. The local bodega will.

People who shoplift are only considering a single factor: what's the likelihood this store ends up caring and puts me in jail eventually.

Turns out, plenty of stores will NEVER stop you provided you dont exceed a certain dollar amount or try to walk off with large appliances.

Its not hard to find a stores policy around theft and prevention.

Its a coincidence that big box stores are stolen from more, not a moral thing.

When the food is multiple grocery bags full of steaks I'm a little less inclined to a charitable view.

That said, I'm still not going to do anything about it. Intervening on the behalf of a grocery store is insane, even if I were opposed to what's happening. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

"Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, otherwise we'd get along!"

Riffraff! Street rat! I don't buy that! If only they'd look closer… Would they see a poor boy? No, siree They'd find out there's so much more to me
