I have legit thrown down with shoplifters I might be a wagie but I at least have my pride and honour
Damn, bro, I'm sure :porky-happy: will notice you for saving him some paltry change. What's that? You're not doing it for him? You're potentially risking your life for some arbitrary sense of honor (likely instilled into you at a young age), despite most companies enforcing a "no heroes" policy? Shit.
I've seen this meme in particular ruffle feathers, especially in the kinds of spaces that repost fucking Stonetoss comics and transphobic fearmongering, occasionally spilling into outright fascist accounts. Similarly, they also decry the trend of "landlord hate". It makes the role of reactionary politics in bourgeois society so transparent.
I used to work in a deli and my manager threatened to fire us if we took anything before throwing out our leftovers. We either had to buy it as is or toss it. This obviously didn't stop me from taking some when no one was looking but it's just so shitty. The amount of perfectly good food being trashed everyday was sickening and really opened my eyes.
i tell all my people the scan out box is basically a free goodie bag just don't get caught or get anyone else in trouble. luckily a food bank gets some of our food but it's still an insane amount getting thrown out. that and some of the food banks have volunteers taking all the expensive items to resell which really does show some american capitalist :brainworms:
ugh ugh ugh of course they do, I guess I'm not surprised but holy shit :yea:
