I remember my nan used to say "you'd go in somewhere if you had to pay to get out" regarding me wanting to go wander about in various places. Excited to see major retailers adopting that unironically.

Oh no, this was a big metal bar like the underground barriers. Like this: The gate with the blue arrow on it only opens if you scan the receipt.

One job I left I took enough pens & notepads to last me the next decade, that was useful. This is the extent of my workplace thievery. Well, apart from wage theft obviously.

We once gate crashed a very rich persons house party (my mate worked for them) and ended up stealing hundreds, possibly thousands, of pounds worth of booze, including single malt whiskys, bottles of cognac etc. It was the end of the night, and the staff did not give a solitary poo poo. Literally helped us carry some of it to the car.

I got a lot of facemasks and latex gloves (needed for the job, not hospital grade) before i left mine... very handy when you've just entered an epidemic.

I had to ask a member of staff how to get out if you haven't bought anything. So that's what that thing was! There was one in a Morrisons I went to, I couldn't work out what it was and no-one seemed inclined to explain so I ended up going back into the shop and walking out of another exit.

I would suspect it might set the alarm off if you do that. Usually the access control systems do if you try to force them.

I learned from the comments that there's more than just Luxembourg and the Leicester frog bus that have just done fare free transit, which is more than I ever expected to learn from youtube comments and also heartening that it wasn't full of "hang those who jump the gappy" https://twitter.com/Leicester_News/status/1642784415813189635

The barriers at Tesco Streatham that they put across the closed checkouts are big ones like you get on the Paris Metro and need an actual key to unlock and open.

Failed Imagineer posted:That sound kinda good ngl. But I have COVID and my thinking may be compromised Not really relevant to the thread discussion, but so have I. Are you going about your normal daily life? Because I've stayed inside these last few days and have been lucky enough to be able to rearrange some stuff to WFH, but people keep reassuring me that I don't need to isolate. Legally, yes, but...Covid!

Absolutely self-isolate if you can. It's true that the majority of people who catch covid survive it, but it's playing Russian roulette with human lives to infect others, with that metaphorical bullet causing long-term damage at best. Same reason if I had flu I would also isolate. Going into an office and spreading it is literally spreading misery and a potential for long-term damage, if not death.

I grabbed a copy of Photoshop and a bunch of fancy fonts from a place years back. Granted their paychecks had started bouncing and they had cancelled our health insurance without telling us so they stole from me first. The IRS ended up taking them to court.

It's not fun going around to things being all snotty and tired and achey. I think when you tell people you're not doing X because COVID they think you're doing it out of obligation, rather than "I'm ill and feel like poo poo, I am withdrawing from society until that's not the case".

smellmycheese posted:How the gently caress do you smuggle out 30 pint glasses? And I say this as someone who once smuggled a whole side of smoked salmon out of a restaurant I worked in Nothing too exciting im afraid. It was almost 20 years ago now but I think I just stacked them up, popped them in a few plastic bags and walked them out to my car. It probably helped that I was on the shift locking up with other bar staff who gave even less than a gently caress than me.

Hey Camrath, I hope the fudjit sales were good in Stockport last weekend. I shopped at your stall but shied away from asking the nice lad if he had stairs in his house because he seemed confused enough that I already knew what the chilli lime fudge was like.
