Why do assholes steal? If they put as much energy as they do to get shit they could put it to work and actually EARN money. I’ve actually become accustomed to thieves and gave up caring. I’ll try to stop a thief if I see one but if I see something gone anymore I think “oh well.” It sucks for all the honest folk as prices rise to compensate for loss. It sucks for the workers who have to constantly get bitched about loss. It sucks for the company who makes more ridiculous moves to curb it. Theft affects everyone. The workers give up caring. Why try? If safeguards are put in then they’re later removed because of the inconvenience to customers. They figure X amount stolen is less than Y amount sold so go ahead. Then the vicious cycle restarts. Here’s an idea, let the common folk beat the shit out of thieves as deterrence without worrying about civil/criminal charges.
To all thieves: You’re not clever. You’re not sly. You’re not “owed” shit. No one cares about you. You should care about you and make the most of yourself. Get a job and earn it. No one owes you shit. You’re not above anyone though I’d posit that EVERYONE is above a thief. Join the ranks of everyone else.
