Shoplifting chat: I had a Christmas job in a Smyth's toy store. On 2 occasions we had guys come in, load up a couple of trolleys, then run through security and throw the lot trolleys and all into the back of a van that pulled up right as they exited the store. This was a big out of town retail park next to a dual carriageway so they were probably 10 miles down the road before security even got through to the police.

Same but a few years earlier when it was still toys r us and the manager enlisted me to be an intimidating heavy in my bright blue Geoffrey the giraffe waist coat to try and bully the thieves into abandoning their heist. They did not.

I worked somewhere we had a spate of thefts by a rotating group of people where they’d grab whatever they were after and then run out the fire door on the side of the shop floor, so the management started locking that fire door. The next guy running headlong into it expecting it to just pop open again was very surprised, head office congratulated management for thwarting the thieves and nobody thought to raise an issue with the fact they’d locked a loving emergency exit to prevent the theft of printer cartridges and usb cables.

It's probably cheaper to fight the wrongful death lawsuits than lose printer cartridges.

Don't most big shops have insurance for this kind of thing that makes a few quid of printer cartridges irrelevant? Always seemed to me that UK shops were far more forgiving of damage or loss of merchandise compared to the "you break it you buy it" policies you get elsewhere in the world.

A friend and I got caught after shoplifting these from Woolies. Thankfully the security guard just took them back and gave us a good telling off. The gold ones were a real status symbol in our school over the boring red and white Coke ones or the Fanta ones. We had an assembly once where some guy came in and did a bunch of yo-yo tricks, probably paid by Coca-Cola, and for a while everyone was obsessed with them and doing Walking the Dog or Rock the Baby.

The store manager at the time was an absolute tier one top shelf bellend. Crippling case of little man syndrome coupled with getting drunk on the phenomenal power that being a store manager can give you. Guy was a true believer in all that “if it hurts the company then it hurts us because we are the company” poo poo through and through. I was only 18 or 19 and not paying much attention to the world so I can’t remember the specific situation, but at one point the parent company’s share price poo poo the bed and this clown herded the entire staff into an extra morning meeting to pitch us on this being the perfect time to buy shares in the company. Incredible advice to give a room full of people earning minimum wage.

Someone I knew used to work a Range superstore. Over the space of their employment, they were able to completely renovate, decorate and then furnish their 4 bedroom house using items liberated from that store. They basically stole from this oval office:  ...who has stolen a fortune from the public purse through corporate welfare and tax avoidance Stealing from thieves is ok in my eyes fuctifino fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Jan 19, 2024 |

Albinator posted:"Costs the same" is doing a lot of work here. Bikes in general don't have the same fuel, maintenance, storage, and insurance costs that even the cheapest car has (and even the cheapest new car is going to be a lot more than the cheapest new cargo bike). I wouldn't compare a new car and a new cargo bike since that's clearly not going to work. In terms of utility - a vehicle to cart the kids around in on a budget. I would say a bike is always assumed to be a "budget" option but if you start getting into cargo bikes then you should consider a banger. Comparing like with like - a £5k cargo bike would be the bike equivalent of a £40k BMW obviously doesn't work. But if you compare a £5k cargo bike to a £2k used Corsa then it starts to look a lot more attractive. Cargo bikes start at £1.5k! Cargo bikes also have significant storage and insurance costs associated and they're both linked since a lot of the time the bikes aren't insurable unless you lock them inside overnight or you have a shed or some very heavy duty locking hardware installed in your garden. And you have to take these security measures since any bike is far easier to steal than a car (though I assume bangers aren't particularly hard to nick). This is just one specific use case though since for a single person any poo poo bike from £50 up is about the same for getting from A to B. Edit- shoplifter chat. I saw a security guy accusing someone of stealing a bottle of vodka. The guy was literally standing there, hands free in a jumper and skinny jean going "you wot, where am I supposed to be hiding it?"

If think most people getting a cargo bike also have a car. It's usually something you get over a second car rather than your primary means of transport. Even in the Netherlands most households have a car, they just use it a bit less for short journeys.

When I was a little poo poo I had a friend that went into Littlewoods (remember them?) around Christmas time picked up a TMNT backpack and filled it with toys before putting it on his back and walking out. I only managed a dinobot so I was way behind him.

Best crisps are Asda's premium salt and vinegar. Used to be Co-Ops salt and vinegar but they nerfed it because too many bellends complained about how strong they were. They should have been told to gently caress off.

I wouldn't even go that far, I think it's overtly morally good to rob as much as you can from pretty much any large retail company tbh.

Like you can convince yourself of anything in any direction to the point of pointlessness. How big does the company have to be? Like if the boss is quite well off but in no way a millionaire? What if you are a high up in the company and steal like millions from it and it can't afford to pay its staffs pensions? Like what about stealing from the government? What about if you're michelle mone stealing from the government? Like I think ultimately we need to be in a society where we don't steal and stealing is bad. Stealing is dishonest and dishonesty is bad.

Like I think ultimately we need to be in a society where we don't steal and stealing is bad. Come on, I'm obviously talking about customers stealing items from a shop owned by a large corporation with large profits, not robbing Barnardos or embezzling hundreds of thousands in public money. Basically if stealing involves value being taken from capitalists and going towards workers it is overall a good thing, imho. Obviously stealing from individuals and non-commercial organisations and even small businesses etc is bad, but if we're talking Tescos go nuts and smile doing it.

One time I worked a job at a small family business where they stiffed me on pay I was owed. So before I left I stole some tools out of their storage. Idk if that was morally justified but I have been able to put up a lot of shelves and stuff since.

ThomasPaine posted:No, it's not getting rid of anything, it's just morally fine to do. I disagree. Like we've just had someone say it fucks up their day by messing with stock control and making their job more difficult, never mind putting staff in the difficult position of dealing with violence and career repercussions, we had it previously with pint glasses from pubs and how much of a ballache it is for the people who have to deal with it. Like if you need to steal to feed yourself and your family then thats really sad and I'm not going to get involved in criticising someone for doing what they have to do. But people claiming the moral high ground for no real reason? eh? Nah.
