At the joinery shop where I used to work in the UK, we had a bloke who'd worked there for like 10 years. He used to come in super early (like 4-5am) and run our CNC machine, which was good for the business because it meant we could get more stuff machined in a day by having somebody else work til 5 or 6pm. He claimed to like it because it meant he could pick the kids up from school when he was done. Anyway one day the boss happened to come in super early, and saw his car there, with a trailer attached... loaded up with about £500-1k worth of hardwood. Turns out he'd been stealing it and reselling it for god knows how long. We didn't have an actual inventory system for materials because it was hard to exactly gauge how much wood you'd use on a given job because there were varying amounts of waste etc. Thought that took the piss, a little.

I just wish the people who nick things from the pharmacy would take the box too and not just sneak the product out and leave the box on the shelf. Means we don't know to order a new one.

NotJustANumber99 posted:no i dont think so. 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. I was shitposting but also at the same time I agree I'm not gonna go to bat for capital but I think it is naive in the extreme to assume that e.g. an organised crime ring stealing printer ink cartridges is a fellow proletarian traveller on the road to revolution

I once accidentally scanned a 30 quid bag of almonds in asda with the self scan and didn't notice until I got home after paying. I went back the next day and said so and they went to check the cameras. While I was waiting the security guy said they take every new employee back there to show them you can see a pin being dropped as the resolution is so high, so as to discourage them from shoplifting. Apparently they still catch loads of people at it. Which is unfortunate. But yeah, the system was able to find me and trace me back super easily to the aisle and see that in fact I did not pick up a giant bag of insanely expensive nuts and they refunded me. Apparently they can easily trace back shoplifting and catch regular offenders, but don't bother for accidental stuff. Also the quality/accuracy checks are just to make people think they might be caught if they tried to reduce it. But they're not actually trying to catch anyone unless you're super obviously taking the piss. It's also set up to do them if you remove things from your cart too often. Which I do all the time due to indecisive ADHD.

If you think you are in any way hurting Tesco by stealing from them you are very naive with how they manage their bottom line. When our store was doing badly (of which a part was stock loss) they just raised prices and fired some staff. And when the bottom fell out of the entire business, management got out with their cut. The upper management and the stockholders are always the last to feel any kind of negative result be it theft, economic downturn or whatever. If you're gonna steal, go steal I don't care. But don't pretend it's some middle finger to capitalism. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 09:00 on Jan 20, 2024 |

I am a bit late to this, but the absolute best way to scam the self scanner thing at a supermarket is to have children. I let my nine-year-old do the scanning because she thinks it fun, and the one we did get randomly scanned and they found something that hadn’t scanned (completely accidentally, but definitely could get away with it if you were doing it on purpose), she just said “whoops” and they were fine with it. I recently saw someone shoplifting in our local Sainsbury’s and I turned a blind eye to it because I’m not a piece of poo poo, but when the chap was confronted by the security guard he launched into a tirade of vile racist abuse. I guess racists are also allowed to steal bread to feed their starving family, but it made me feel conflicted.

His Divine Shadow posted:Opposite experience re: older cars for me. Older car is way cheaper to own. Insurance is way cheaper, most old cars I've driven have tended to be reliable and can be taken to the local shop instead of expensive brand maintenance. Tax is more or less the same unless getting an electric car. Not having to make loan payments for a car is great too, and no real value deprecation to take into consideration. Is there a quantifiable metric to say what counts as an "old" car? I got myself a brand new ford focus almost 6 years ago (as a treat for getting a new job) and in a years time it'll be fully paid off. Thing is, because of working from home and not really doing too much outside of going to the shops regularly, it's only got about 17k miles. It seems to still run perfectly (besides some battery issues from not driving it every day), and I like all the features the car has but I dunno whether most people swap to another car once they've paid off the current one or just keep using it until they run it into the ground. Like do most folk sell a car or consider it "old" when it gets to 50k miles or something?

just use the car until your needs change, there's no point in shackling yourself to finance if the vehicle does everything you need it to do. 'old' is relative unless its a classic e: but if you do decide to get rid then give me the little plastic dash trim that holds the headlight cluster switch to the right of the steering column thanks, I put my knee through mine trying to climb in without sliding the seat back after my wife had been driving it and you cannot find spares anywhere on this earth without dropping £££ on a whole new switch set kecske fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Jan 20, 2024 |

I love an old banger because there's no pressure to keep it pristine. If anything, it wants another dent.

When I first started working my first salaried job I did the typical young person thing of using the new-found income to take out a loan on a decent nearly-new car, in addition to moving out and renting my own place. Of course, when I inevitably got laid off six months later I was stuck with two massive monthly bills and no plan to pay them. Since then my plan has always been to find the best car I could afford with no loan, or at least a minimal loan that could be paid off quickly. Cars at 2-4 years old seem to be the sweet spot between still being reliable but not too expensive, and it helps if they've been MOT'd before you get them. I'd run those for 3-5 years while saving what I could towards the next one, and repeat. So far with a bit of luck I've rarely had to deal with any significant maintenance beyond the usual servicing, tyres, and odd exhaust. Kin posted:Like do most folk sell a car or consider it "old" when it gets to 50k miles or something? For me it's always been about weighing up the current value of the car against the cost of any likely upcoming maintenance work. At around 50-75k miles you tend to get more expensive jobs like timing belt replacements so that's a good point to check what problems other people have had with the same model and what it cost them.
