    Remember if you work in a grocery store, it's your duty to ignore what you might see. I'd say try to steal what you can, but in my experience LP watches employees more than customers. I knew a guy who worked in the bakery who was literally about to retire, he had 1 week left of work and 4 left of vacation. They fucking fired him for eating a stale donut that was going to be thrown out. I think he still got his pension and whatnot, but they robbed him of 4 weeks of pay over an 89 cent donut.

      your story made me think about my own: i worked with a guy that got arrested on the job for stealing a 200 dollar beef loin (different company). he got hired even with this record lol cause grocery stores can be suprisingly desperate for skilled help. he had a pretty bad drug habit and stole meat to trade to his dealer. it sucks because he was being waaay too greedy, and lighting the rest of us up with our casual ganking and made me paranoid since he was going outside with pockets full like 4 or 5 times a day. surprisingly he kept it up for like 7 years, no LP or anything. a week ago he gets fired for stealing a 1 dollar bag of rice, caught by the store manager. not sure if there's a lesson here besides be careful cause your luck can run out.
