There is for sure some local backlash where people are talking about never going there again. The problem is the gas station is on a relatively busy highway and is also a gas station for tractor trailers so it gets huge outside of the area business. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://imgur.com/cSxy3Od <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:958300518] in Homeless m...

voldothegr8 09/22/21 2:14:23 PM #53:	Sad_Face posted... Indeed. I have a neighbor who decided to leave the house due to his abusive landlord and go back to the streets. He ended up trying to rob a bank (while on crutches) to land himself behind bars. But that's beside the point. The lad here in the article didn't have the intention of going to jail to find a good night's sleep. I know the cashier didn't want the unpaid money to come out of his pocket but really the cashier could have stood to overlook this transgression. Perhaps this wasn't the first time he shorted the store and they'd had enough. The vast majority of clerks or managers aren't going to bother with cops over a one time small shortage like that. Repeat offenders though, eventually the cops are getting involved. --- Oda break tracker 2021- 6 (4) \| THE Ohio State: 2-1 \| Las Vegas Raiders: 2-0 <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:958300555] in Homeless m...

Gotta love how everyone here is struggling with the concept of "2 for $3".... news flash if it was meant to be $1.50 for one item then the print will actually say $1.50. Please stop giving this guy the benefit of the doubt, he knows how this all works 1. These places often don't even show the price unless it's on a deal. 2. He tried to pay $2, not $1.50. It's not crazy to assume that's the regular price. 3. It's 43 cents. 4. Go fuck yourself <cite>CoorsLight posted [p:958303131] in Homeless m...

Nemu 09/22/21 3:37:18 PM #91:	WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted... I said a little bit earlier that they can't get/keep employees working there. They pay shit. Odds are it's because no one was at the counter. I find it odd that if a dude wanted to steal a soda he would put down money at all. It could very easily be a recurring scam. Wait until the teller is super busy, leave less money than it costs, and then use that as an excuse if he gets caught. Not a ton of money, but could lead to big savings for someone who survives on change. Or could just be a dumb mistake as presented. Though the idea of taking merchandise without properly checking out is pretty suspect. <cite>Nemu posted [p:958303334] in Homeless m...

Absolutely disgusting post. That user should be extremely ashamed. Yep, want to stop crime? Be extremely harsh with your punishments.
