No no inflation is ok, i've been told, because all inflation matches, so overall wages over the course of that inflation doesn't matter. Just get 5 more jobs.

Stealing is when a poor person takes from the rich.

When the rich take from the poor, that is just business.

i didn't have much of a choice myself.... it costed 5$ for a pound of ground beef.
they had no boneless chicken breast. wanted to make some burrito's.

think it took just 1 breast and it could fill a burrito no problem.

You would set up a buyer before hand.

Its like the old foodstamp grift that has been around forever. Someone would get food with the stamps and sell them to a buyer for cash so they can go buy dope. Back in the day when the stamps looked like money you could sell them 2 food coupons for a dollar.

Walmart puts locking devices on a lot of stuff.

I was there the other day and was legitimately surprised that they now sell a male sex toy with the condoms, lube, and other sexcessories.

They put that shit in the Fuck-Box.

Sadly the spider wire isn't much of a deterrent. I always find a shit ton of snipped spider wire all the time. So much so, that they are putting everything behind glass in our electronic department.

I mean, if I never heard of a Fleshlight and didn't currently own one, I'd probably be tempted to snip some spider-wire myself if it meant I could get my hands on something like that...

...though honestly I'd rather just pay for it.

To people scoffing, there are people called "shoppers" where someone with a lot of suss cash (usually dealers etc) does up a list of food or goods (expensive meat included) that they want, and they pay these shoppers in drugs or cash at a massive markdown to steal this stuff. People loading up trolleys and just bolting through the door is common here because not every lil shop can have the security to stop or prevent it.

Fuck if I know why they don't just buy it with the money, paranoia maybe.

And if you ever had a question about who the system is designed to protect this should answer it.
If I steal 100 bucks from my boss the cops show up and arrest me. If my boss steals 100 bucks from me in the form of unpaid overtime, making me work off the clock or through my lunch/break I have to hire a lawyer to try and get restitution.

Ok I'm going to explain this as simply as possible, because as many times as I explain this, it misses CE/Reddit/Twitter etc. When they are encouraging "stealing from the rich".

The way things work for rich folks: they don't sell more of their boats because people are shoplifting.

They stop giving bonuses and cut the wages off of people that are lower on the totem pole.

Even if you were to steal directly from their houses, well they are covered by insurance, and when insurance has to pay out on claims, they go up on their premiums for everyone, rich or poor.

So shoplifting or looting your local target and Walmart because they are insured is not actually a virtuous thing to do, believe it or not, because rich people are not going to foot the bill. That is a fantasy. They always figure out a way to pass it on to the common man.
