Of course one of you morons are gonna give me a lecture as to why it’s good to steal alcohol, or a much shorter answer of be gay do crimes, but I don’t see how stealing is justified. What if it was the Soviet Union?

Edit: Idea: for every post in the copypasta comm, have the word "copypasta" plastered at the top in the largest possible font.

    I know multiple people that work in retail and every single one of them says theft hurts the employees, not the company.

      I have no idea where they work, but in no retail.job I ever worked was it my problem.

        so long as you aren't stealing in direct view of the employees (thus putting them in a position where they could be reprimanded for not taking action) you should be fine

      Every retail job I've worked tells you specifically that they have an entire department dedicated to stopping loss such as shoplifting. To me that translates to: "This is the amount of resources we have deemed it worth allocating to stopping shoplifting - any shoplifters we don't catch are entirely our fault". None of them have ever punished employees for not stopping shoplifting - but the times employees have stopped shoplifters, you can bet we didn't get anything for it.

        From what I was told, theft impacted their profit sharing and their wages.
