I worked one Christmas at The Good Guys in the late 90s, and  IIRC 3 out of 4 long-term managers quit on the spot when confronted with their loving huuuuuuuuge, massive, multi-year big screen TV scam. Freaked a lot of people out, because they were worried they were going to get caught with their scams. My buddies working there stuck a 3dfx Voodoo in the open-box Compaq I bought with my high school graduation money and I am eternally grateful. I couldn't believe that company staggered on for as long as it did... then everyone got laid off and went to work for Circuit City.

I was told not to bring the tv back to the store if there were any problems with it, instead go straight to the manufacturer. Sometimes its nice having friends work retail

Come and fight me then, cop. If something has been sitting collecting dust, it should be taken to be used. People abandon a lot of weights and electronics at a hotel, bags get dated and then they sit in boxes for years. Hogwash, just take stuff.

There was an interesting movie sort of about this called Emily the Thief. I guess it's more credit card fraud than shoplifting but there is a lot of similarities when you get down to it.

What pisses me off is when people just grab full hams from the refrigerated section and leave them out to spoil because they're too lazy to put them back. Sonofabitch that animal died to be food, not by its choice but still, don't let its sacrifice be in vain because you're a lazy rear end in a top hat!  Atleast stuff it in your shirt or something and don't let it waste away.

My friends in college asked if I wanted to go drink beer at Fred Meyers. We were 19 and I was pretty sure FM didn't serve beer. I was told to wear a sweatshirt or something warm. We went to the walk-in beer cooler (no cameras) and just started cracking beers open and slamming them as fast as possible. Great way to start your Friday night.

If anyone actually believes the 95 billion number that would mean the average American stole over 300 dollars worth of goods per person every year. Lol at the dumbest people in the world believing this.

Myself I wanted to get my $300 annual stealing budget all in one go, 300 dollars times 50 years is about 15,000 So I shoved a Honda Fit under my dress and now I have so much more free time, and a Honda Fit!

Always wondered how easy it would be for someone who practices slight of hand for magic tricks to use it to shoplift. Like, would Teller be able to walk into a crowded grocery store and walk out with a couple hundred dollars worth of poo poo with nobody noticing?
