      Best case they’re going to eat it.

      Worst case you can buy warm coat meat off them later in a flat roof pub so they can buy heroin.

      The last few times I shoplifted it was by accident. The last being that I had to get a new ID from the DMV, they gave me a paper copy, and said they would mail me a normal ID. 30 days later it has still not arrived and grocery stores started to say they don’t accept the paper copy after 30 days. Went back to the DMV and they said it would take up to 90 days. I asked if I could get a picture ID until it arrives, to which they told me that would downgrade my license and therefore I wouldn’t be able to legally drive then.

      Anyways, I wound up checking out at Kroger, putting items on the conveyor, and they asked for my ID, I gave them my paper copy and they called a manager and blah blah blah all because there was wine in the order. The manager told the cashier it was acceptable so long as it was within 30 days, thankfully neither of them knew the date as it was 34 days after the issue date, they accepted it and I put the bags in my cart and went on my way. When I got to the car I realized several items in my cart were not in grocery bags, I never took them out of the cart when I got distracted by the ID bologna. So none of those items got paid for.

      My favorite part about it is someone has to acknowledge that someone was of age 4 days prior to purchase alcohol… So what black magic would I be performing to go from 35 4 days ago to under 21 then. If it could have been forged now, I could have forged it then.

      Note the DMV stated if they printed a new copy it would change the issue dates and therefore start the 90 day wait over again. Fucking mess

      The only shoplifting I see is the shops lifting their prices.

      more laconic, more punny

      EDIT :

      The only shoplifting I see is the shops lifting their prices arbitrarily

      variant keeping arbitrarily

      One time I saw an obvious homeless man grab a pizza slice. He ate it in the aisle I was in, locking eyes with me. I was kind of looking through him, because he was standing where I needed to grab the item I wanted.

      And as I got closer, he said, “I’ll pay for it.” And I had to explain, “Bro I’m just trying to get some soup I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    These fucks think I’d tell them even if I did 😂. I didn’t even snitch on shoplifters when they were stealing from the place I worked, you do you and I’ll do me.

      I did the same.

      I didn’t snitch on shoplifters at work and i shoplifted myself long before that.

      The funny thing was, i saw another person noticing the shoplifting - they saw me too. We just nodded and went our ways.

      These shoplifters had a double endorsement on that day.

    Notice they used an image of wine, not a more basic foodstuff. That’s called Manufacturing Consent.

    Why are the pyramids in Egypt?

    Because they’re too large to fit in the British Museum.

    It always is amusing when British people accuse Roma of being thieves when they can’t even have the English language without stealing widely from others.

      Stealing words can only be as bad as piracy, the original owners are not deprived of what they owned.
