Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    Friend, if there’s cameras, there’s a record, and that means that if someone notices they’ll have video proof of theft. That would cost your job.

    And if you’re working for a small business, please don’t steal from the owner. Small businesses are not big faceless money-extraction machines like corporations are.

      The job is small potatoes compared to jail time and a criminal record, which can be way more expensive, particularly over the long term.

        It’s definitely cheaper to live in jail than have to work at a job and pay rent. At least in the US it is.

          That’s a weird argument. Most people don’t want to spend their whole lives in prison. If you’d ever been in one, maybe you’d realize incarceration is not an experience most people enjoy… at all. It’s sort of the point. Suicide is even cheaper, should we recommend that?

            That’s a weird argument.

            It’s not an argument for going to prison, it’s a commentary on the deplorable state of American society.

            Suicide is even cheaper, should we recommend that?

            You think people haven’t considered and even exercised that option for that very reason?

            incarceration is not an experience most people enjoy…

            If the point of prison is to remove joy, then why not just have convicts play No Man’s Sky?

            But seriously, should that even be the point? Isn’t the point of having a justice system a bit more nuanced than that? Shouldn’t our aim be to create a better society in general? Not simply through mere incarceration, but also education and mental health care?

            Don’t we owe it to the members of society who have been failed by society to lift them up when possible to a place where they no longer need to subvert and disrupt society’s rules for the sake of their own survival? Don’t we owe it to the rest of society to provide a path to a productive life for so of its citizens, regardless of our previous unwillingness or inability to do so?
