    but let’s not pretend that people aren’t stealing to make some money.

    Perhaps it’s safe to say they’re poor. Poor people often don’t have enough money. Still sounds like a job of desperation.

      Desperation to avoid getting a real, legal job, maybe.

      Perhaps it’s safe to say they’re poor.

      It is not. I’ve seen these scumbags’ subreddit, I’ve seen their Tumblr tags. They’re not poor, they’re just scumbag thieves.

      An actual poor person stealing necessities because they have no other choice does NOT have this ridiculous entitled mindset.

          It’s amazing, isn’t it, that there are people out there who think that poor people enjoy it for the benefits…

            Please, everyone knows the vast majority of you thieves and those cheering them on aren’t even poor, you’re just immoral scumbags who feel entitled to the things you steal. I’ve seen the subreddit, I’ve seen the Tumblr tags. You’re not fooling me, trying to mix yourselves in with those stealing because they have no other way to survive.

              Very immoral, unlike those huge moral corporations who just want what’s best for everyone…

                The irony is that you try to rationalize it as ‘I’m only hurting the Big Bad Soulless Corporation’, but the fact is that you’re not hurting it, you’re hurting the people who work there to survive, people who probably are much closer to being broke than you are. If shrinkage gets too high, a location isn’t just going to hang around not profiting, it’ll get closed.

          Please, cut the crap. I’ve seen the subreddit and the Tumblr tags, I know you thieves aren’t broke, and aren’t stealing necessities. And you guys can’t even help but expose yourselves anyway, unable to resist encouraging the theft of even high-end luxury items.

          The irony is that you try to rationalize it as ‘I’m only hurting the Big Bad Soulless Corporation’, but the fact is that you’re not hurting it, you’re hurting the people who work there to survive, people who probably are much closer to being broke than you are. If shrinkage gets too high, a location isn’t just going to hang around not profiting, it’ll get closed.

          And then, of course, people like you will complain about the food desert that now exists in that area, completely unironically, because you’re just that far gone.

        You believe in “welfare queens,” don’t you?
