Appropriate time for: “If you see a shoplifter, no you didn’t.”
100I would never tell, but I wonder if people, employees, take the charge instead of the big corpo.
2No, it's just budgeted into the prices.

Appropriate time for: shoplifting will fuck hundreds of innocent workers out of a job before it kills one corporation.
Think about who you're really hurting. If a Walmart location stops being profitable enough, it'll just close, no sweat off their back. But everyone working there is now out of a job.
-7How would it fuck them out of a job?
Besides, shoplifting is nowhere near the scale that it would make an entire store unprofitable. And if it was, they'd either raise prices to make it profitable or perhaps lower them to encourage people to buy again instead of stealing out of desperation. They wouldn't just up and quit a location where there's still money to be made.

Friendly reminder that if you saw someone stealing food, no you didn't.
77Best 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.
23People need heroin too.

Plus you never notice people shoplifting. We dont know people's situation but we dam well know corperations can fuck off.
69The 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 that keep arbitrarily lifting their prices.

more laconic, more punny

52I will never see someone stealing food.
40I ain't seen shit!
40One 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."
33That's the way.

You guys ever just mind your own fucking business? I'm really into minding my own fucking business.
35For some reason, I thought you were getting furious at all the folks calling out the British museum
8Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't.

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.
29I 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.

hey stealing is a proud British tradition stop denigrating our traditions.

Notice they used an image of wine, not a more basic foodstuff. That's called Manufacturing Consent.
28Why are the pyramids in Egypt?
Because they're too large to fit in the British Museum.
24I never saw nuffin narc
21Snitches get stitches. Don't rat people out.
14It 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.
6Stealing words can only be as bad as piracy, the original owners are not deprived of what they owned.

You must be over 1000000 years old to see that happen
5Nah, just your humble reincarnated Babylonian horror
8And with all that going for you, it's hard to be humble!

10Not to commit a high crime of having a nuanced take on a circle-jerked to death issue. But many of the "stolen" artifacts only exist today because they were safe guarded by the musuem. Many more would be at best, kept in complete private collections away from the public and historians. And plenty more don't have a direct modern day counterpart, or have split modern ancestry, so don't have a clear place to return them to if they wanted to return them.
And yes, there are some artifacts where none of that applies and they should be returned, but I would believe those to be the minority.
